Scanning Tunneling Microscopy for Molecules: Effects of Electron Propagation into Vacuum

Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we experimentally and theoretically investigate isolated platinum phthalocyanine (PtPc) molecules adsorbed on an atomically thin NaCl(100) film vapor deposited on Au(111). We obtain good agreement between theory a ...

Equivariant representations for molecular Hamiltonians and N-center atomic-scale properties

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Michael John Willatt

Symmetry considerations are at the core of the major frameworks used to provide an effective mathematical representation of atomic configurations that is then used in machine-learning models to predict the properties associated with each structure. In most ...

Shedding Light on the Basis Set Dependence of the Minnesota Functionals: Differences Between Plane Waves, Slater Functions, and Gaussians

Ursula Röthlisberger, Martin Peter Bircher, Pablo Lopez Tarifa

The Minnesota family of exchange-correlation (xc) functionals are among the most popular, accurate, and abundantly used functionals available to date. However, their use in plane-wave based first-principles MD has been limited by their sparse availability. ...

To bend or not to bend, the dilemma of multiple bonds

Michele Pizzochero

Beyond the second row of the periodic table, the nature of the multiple bonds between the elements of the main groups remains yet elusive, and "non-classical" bonding schemes are often invoked for their description. Here, focusing on group 14, we have perf ...

Liquid Water through Density-Functional Molecular Dynamics: Plane-Wave vs Atomic-Orbital Basis Sets

Alfredo Pasquarello, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli

We determine and compare structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of liquid water at near ambient conditions through density-functional molecular dynamics simulations, when using either plane-wave or atomic-orbital basis sets. In both frameworks, t ...

Molecular mechanism of NDMA formation from N,N-dimethylsulfamide during ozonation: Quantum chemical insights into a bromide-catalyzed pathway

Urs von Gunten, Jeremy Samuel Arey, Daniela Trogolo, Michèle Bernadette Heeb, Brijesh Kumar Mishra

During ozonation of drinking water, the fungicide metabolite NN-dimethyIsulfamide (DMS) can be transformed into a highly toxic product, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). We used quantum chemical computations and stopped-flow experiments to evaluate a chemical ...

Computational studies for the characterization and design of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with improved efficiencies

Negar Ashari Astani

During millions of years of evolution, all creatures have found their ways of harvesting, storing and utilizing the energy coming from the sun. Plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide to glucose. With a low efficiency of only 3%, plants still c ...

Ab initio-driven trajectory-based nuclear quantum dynamics in phase space

Ivano Tavernelli

We derive a Bohmian trajectory-based quantum dynamics approach for the calculation of adiabatic and nonadiabatic quantum effects in ab initio on-the-fly molecular dynamics simulations. The method is designed for calculations in the full, unconstrained, pha ...

A Caveat on SCC-DFTB and Non-covalent Interactions Involving Sulfur Atoms

Riccardo Petraglia

Accurate modeling of non-covalent interactions involving sulfur today is ubiquitous, particularly with regards to the role played by sulfur-containing heterocycles in the field of organic electronics. The density functional tight binding (DFTB) method offe ...

Accurate potential energy surfaces with a DFT plus U(R) approach

Nicola Marzari

We introduce an improvement to the Hubbard U augmented density functional approach known as DFT+U that incorporates variations in the value of self-consistently calculated, linear-response U with changes in geometry. This approach overcomes the one major s ...
