Within the Born-Oppenheimer picture of the electronic Schrödinger equation the external potential due to the nuclei influences the resulting expectation values during the self consistent field procedure. In this thesis, the optimization and the benefit of ...
Highly ordered organic-inorganic mesostructured material containing regularly distributed phenols is synthesized by combining a direct synthesis of the functional material and a protection-deprotection strategy and characterized at a molecular level throug ...
The early stages of the Coulomb explosion of a doubly ionized water molecule immersed in liquid water are investigated with time-dependent density functional theory molecular dynamics (TD-DFT MD) simulations. Our aim is to verify that the double ionization ...
According to the concepts of attribute axis and attribute coordinate system, porphine and 11 kinds of bridge carbon substituted porphyrins as donors and 9 common acceptors A-I have been designed and calculated at the density functional B3LYP level. The sub ...
We propose a definition for the dipole of an individual molecule in a molecular solid or fluid. This problem is currently dealt with by partitioning-according to some prescription-the continuous electron density of the condensed phase. Instead, here we foc ...
The charge density of urea is studied using very high precision single-crystal synchrotron-radiation diffraction data collected at the Swiss-Norwegian Beam Lines at ESRF. An unprecedented resolution of 1.44 Å-1 in sin[theta][/][lambda] is obtained at 123 K ...
Theoretical simulations are particularly well suited to investigate, at a molecular level, direct and indirect effects of ionising radiations in DNA, as in the particular case of irradiation by swift heavy ions such as those used in hadron therapy. In the ...
Although many three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging visualization methods exist, 3D volume slicing remains the most commonly used technique for visualizing medical data from modalities such as CT, MRI, and PET. We propose to extend the possibilities of ob ...
The reactivity of phenolic compounds can be drastically affected by the electronic nature of substituents and by their positions in the aromatic ring. In this work, structure effect on the photoreactivity via TiO2 catalysis is studied using several substit ...
An extensive redistribution of spin density in TBrPP-Co molecules adsorbed on a Cu(111) surface is investigated by monitoring Kondo resonances at different locations on single molecules. Remarkably, the width of the Kondo resonance is found to be much larg ...
