New article published in PRResearch (Editors' Suggestion)!

Our new paper on First-principles real-space embedding theory of the superconducting proximity effect has been just published on PRResearch as an Editors' Suggestion. Here we present a Green’s-function framework based on embedding for first-principles simulations of superconducting proximity effects.Read More
