The experimental electron density obtained from a multipole refinement of the synchrotron X-ray data for the title complex, together with theoretical ab initio calculations of the electron density at the molecular geometry obtained from neutron diffraction ...
We formulate an approach to the size effect problem in ferroelectric-electrode systems where ab initio calculations are combined with a phenomenological framework. The parameters of the model can be extracted from the calculations, while experimentally ver ...

A review is given of recent angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments and analyses on a series of layered charge density wave materials. Important aspects of ARPES are recalled in view of its capability for bulk band, Fermi surface and spectral func ...
We compare defect energy levels of point defects in alpha-quartz using density functionals of different accuracy: a standard generalized-gradient-approximation functional and a hybrid functional. The latter is known to improve the description of band gaps ...
Using a density functional approach, we study structural and electronic properties of the 4H(0001)-SiC/SiO2 interface. Through the sequential use of classical and ab initio simulation methods, we generate an abrupt model structure which describes the trans ...
Atoms at liquid metal surfaces are known to form layers parallel to the surface. We analyze the two-dimensional arrangement of atoms within such layers at the surface of liquid sodium using ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on a full vers ...
Mass selected cations of Ag-clusters are deposited, together with Ar seeded with CO2 (or other electron scavengers such as O2, N2O, or CCl4), on a cold substrate, while being flooded with low energy electrons. Optical absorption measurements re ...
NH3 adsorption and dissociation on gallium-rich GaAs(0 0 1)-4 x 2 surface have been investigated using hybrid density functional theory. NH3 is found to adsorb molecularly onto GaAs(0 0 1)-4 x 2 via formation of a dative bond with an adsorption energy of 2 ...
A new, but archetypal compound [ Ir( ppy- F-2) (2)Me(4)phen] PF6, where ppy- F2 is 2-(2',4'- fluorophenyl) pyridine and Me(4)phen is 3,4,7,8- tetramethyl- 1,10- phenanthroline, was synthesized and used to prepare a solid-state light-emitting electrochemica ...
We present an application of reduced basis method for Stokes equations in domains with affine parametric dependence. The essential components of the method are (i) the rapid convergence of global reduced basis approximations – Galerkin projection onto a sp ...
