3d metal K-shell X-ray absorption spectra of perovskites with the composition La1-xCaxCoO3-delta (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8), La1-xSrxCoO3-delta (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) and La1-xSrxFeO3-delta (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8) are compared on the bas ...
This thesis introduces original formalisms to achieve an accurate description of dispersion interactions within the framework of density functional theory. The presented research focuses on two specific objectives related to density functional approximatio ...
A simple method for computing accurate density-dependent dispersion coefficients is presented. The dispersion coefficients are modeled by a generalized gradient-type approximation to Becke and Johnson's exchange hole dipole moment formalism. Our most cost- ...
Electrically tunable molecules are highly attractive for the construction of molecular devices, such as switches, transistors, or machines. Here, we present a novel nanomechanical element triggered by an electrical bias as external stimulus. We demonstrate ...
LiMn2O4 is one of the important cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Standard ab initio studies within local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) are not able to reproduce the intrinsic insulating electro ...
Recent advances in algorithms and computational hardware have enabled the calculation of excited states with time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for large systems of O(1000) atoms. Unfortunately, the aqueous charge transfer problem in TDDFT (w ...
In recent works, dispersion-corrected atom-centered potentials (DCACPs) were developed as a method to account for long-range dispersion forces between molecules in density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). ...
We propose to express corrections to the standard approximations of the exchange-correlation functionals in the form of multiatom-centered functionals that can be related to the atoms-in-molecules theory of Bader and a multicenter density expansion. Unlike ...
The mass density of nanowires is determined using in situ resonance frequency experiments combined with quasi-static nanotensile tests. Our results reveal an average mass density of 7.36 g/cm3, which is below the theoretical density of bulk cobalt. The res ...
Hybrid density functional calculations are used to model substitutional lithium (LiZn) and interstitial lithium (Lii) defects in ZnO. The calculated transition levels and formation energies are compared to those obtained using a semilocal density functiona ...
