The structural and dynamical properties of the four a-helix bundle Due Ferri 1, which is a generic mimic of diiron proteins, have been explored using d. functional theory (DFT) based and hybrid quantum/classical mol. dynamics (QM/MM) simulations. Four quan ...
We used X-ray absorption in the partial fluorescence yield mode (PFY-XAS), and resonant X-ray emission (RXES) to study the pressure dependence of Yb valence in the intermediate valence compound YbAl2. We find that the Yb valence changes from 2.25 at ambien ...
We propose a new scheme to systematically design optimized connection atoms for arbitrary quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) boundaries: the pseudopotential of the boundary atom is optimized such that it minimizes the errors in the electronic structu ...
Good quality ab initio calcns. (MP2) show that the water adducts of BX3 and CX3+ have totally different structures (X = F-I). While all H2O-BX3 complexes have classical Cs sym. structures with strong B-O bonds and addnl. H-bonding, the heavier CX3+ cations ...
Elements in the neighborhood of a stimulus can modulate both the subjective perception of and the neural responses to this stimulus. Investigations of this contextual modulation usually focus on low level features such as the orientation difference between ...
In plane wave based electronic structure calcns. the interactions between core and valence electrons are in general represented by effective core potentials. These pseudopotentials are usually constructed such that the shape of the at. valence orbitals out ...
Novel x-ray spectroscopies such as high-resolution x-ray absorption (XAS) performed in the partial fluorescence yield mode (PFY), and resonant emission (RXES) offer new opportunities to probe the bulk electronic configuration in strongly correlated systems ...
First-principles molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the structural properties of liquid GeSe2. We use a generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation energy, which we find to improve significantly upon the local d ...
The fine structure of the copper L3 edge in fcc Cu was simulated using a full potential linearised augmented plane wave method (WIEN97). The computations were based on a single cell-model by introducing a partial core hole and on a 2 x 2 x 1 super-cell-mod ...
We present a hybrid time-dependent d. functional/mol. mechanics (TDDFT/MM) simulation study on the optical properties of aminocoumarins in gas phase and soln. As solvation is described through a mol. approach, the effects due to the inhomogeneities of the ...
