Predicting Ion Diffusion from the Shape of Potential Energy Landscapes

Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel, Amber Kashan Mace

We present an efficient method to compute diffusion coefficients of multiparticle systems with strong interactions directly from the geometry and topology of the potential energy field of the migrating particles. The approach is tested on Li-ion diffusion ...

Energy-based descriptors for photo-catalytically active metal–organic framework discovery

Berend Smit, Ivano Tavernelli, Gloria Capano, Maria Fumanal Quintana, Senja Dominique Barthel

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) consist of metal nodes that are connected by organic linkers. They are thus highly chemically tunable materials given the broad range of potential linkers and nodes that can be chosen for their synthesis. Their tunability ha ...

DORI Reveals the Influence of Noncovalent Interactions on Covalent Bonding Patterns in Molecular Crystals Under Pressure

Berend Smit, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Benjamin André René Meyer, Senja Dominique Barthel, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Amber Kashan Mace

The study of organic molecular crystals under high pressure provides fundamental insight into crystal packing distortions and reveals mechanisms of phase transitions and the crystallization of polymorphs. These solid-state transformations can be monitored ...

Automated Multiscale Approach To Predict Self-Diffusion from a Potential Energy Field

Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel, Amber Kashan Mace

For large-scale screening studies there is a need to estimate the diffusion of gas molecules in nanoporous materials more efficiently than (brute force) molecular dynamics. In particular for systems with low diffusion coefficients molecular dynamics can be ...

Cutting Materials in Half: A Graph Theory Approach for Generating Crystal Surfaces and Its Prediction of 2D Zeolites

Berend Smit, Peter George Boyd, Senja Dominique Barthel, Matthew David Witman

Scientific interest in two-dimensional (2D) materials, ranging from graphene and other single layer materials to atomically thin crystals, is quickly increasing for a large variety of technological applications. While in silico design approaches have made ...

Quantifying similarity of pore-geometry in nanoporous materials

Berend Smit, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Senja Dominique Barthel, Yongjin Lee, Pawel Tadeusz Dlotko

In most applications of nanoporous materials the pore structure is as important as the chemical composition as a determinant of performance. For example, one can alter performance in applications like carbon capture or methane storage by orders of magnitud ...
