Power of numerical simulations to complement experimental studies
Building on excellent experimental data, COMP researchers Dr Matti Ropo and Professor Jaakko Akola (Tampere University of Technology) use numerical simulations to enrich understanding of material families, like the Group 15 nitrogen family, and in this case, liquid bismuth. Density functional/molecular dynamics simulations agree well with inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) experimental results. This work was completed in collaboration with Dr R.O. Jones of the Peter Grünberg Institute at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany.

Publishing Research Data Alongside Research Articles
Data availability statements are increasingly required by scientific journals. They include information on what data are available, where they can be found, and any applicable access terms
Who publishes our open access publications?
Researchers at Aalto and Helsinki Universities favor open access journals with author fees published by large publishers. Popular journals without author fees are often published by universities or societies.
