Transition-metal centers are the active sites for a broad variety of biological and inorganic chemical reactions. Notwithstanding this central importance, density-functional theory calculations based on generalized-gradient approximations often fail to des ...
A general approach to calculate the diabatic surfaces for electron-transfer reactions is presented, based on first-principles molecular dynamics of the active centers and their surrounding medium. The excitation energy corresponding to the transfer of an e ...
The Quantum-ESPRESSO package is a multipurpose and multi-platform software for ab-initio calculations of condensed matter (periodic and disordered) systems. Codes in the package are based on density functional theory and on a plane wave/pseudopotential des ...
We characterize the superionic phase transition and the lattice and electronic structures of the archetypal type-I superionic conductor alpha-AgI using extensive first-principles molecular dynamics calculations. We find that superionicity is signaled by a ...
The water‐exchange mechanism of [UO2(OH2)5]2+ has been reinvestigated by using ab initio molecular orbital (MO) methods. The geometries and the vibrational frequencies were computed with CAS‐SCF(12/11)‐SCRF and CAS‐SCF(12/11)‐PCM methods, which take into a ...
We have studied the liquid surface of sodium with extensive ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on ensemble density-functional theory. We find clear evidence of layering in the direction perpendicular to the surface that persists to temperatures ...
The combination of time-dependent d. functional theory (TDDFT) for the description of excited states with a hybrid quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) approach enables the study of photochem. processes in complex environments. Here, we present a short ...
The functionality of conjugated polymer systems often relies on oxidations or reductions, in most cases mediated by the presence of counterions. The effect that the common counterion hexafluorophosphate (PF6-) has on the intermolecular interactions between ...
The static and dynamical properties of heavy water have been studied at ambient conditions with extensive Car-Parrinello molecular-dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble, with temperatures ranging between 325 and 400 K. Density-functional theory, p ...
We have investigated adsorption and dissociation of water and HfCl4 on Ge/Si(100)-(2x1) surface with density functional theory. The Si-Ge heterodimer and Ge-Ge homodimer are employed to represent the Si1-xGex surface. The activation energy for adsorption o ...
