Individual MO (MO) contributions to the magnetic shielding of atoms as well as to the nucleus-independent chem. shifts (NICS) of arom. compds. can be computed by the widely used gauge-including AO (GIAO) method. Detailed analyses of magnetic shielding MO-N ...
Several methods to address aromaticity in terms of nucleus-independent chem. shifts (NICS) are compared. These include NICS at the ring center NICS(0), NICS 1 .ANG. above the ring plane NICS(1), arom. ring current shielding (ARCS), and dissected NICS, i.e. ...
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 ...
We have calculated the maximally localized Wannier functions of MnO in its antiferromagnetic (AFM) rhombohedral unit cell, which contains two formula units. Electron Bloch functions are obtained with the linearized-augmented-plane-wave method within both t ...
This thesis is concerned with the theoretical study of the adsorption of molecules and thin films to single-crystal metal surfaces. First-principles electronic calculations are performed in the framework of density functional theory in the local density ap ...
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 ...
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 ...
We present a theoretical study of the physical characteristics of metal/semiconductor junctions. Using first principle pseudopotential calculations, we have investigated the nature of electronic states with energies within the semiconductor band gap of rep ...
Monolayer adsorption of benzoic acid derivatives on activated oxide surfaces from solution and from the vapor phase are investigated with the view of modifying the work function of a conductive substrate. Para-substituted benzoic acids with a wide range of ...
Sequential adsorption of N atoms on a MgO(100) supported Fe-7 cluster is studied using a density functional approach. For the number of adsorbates varying between one and six, the most favorable adsorption geometries are determined and the corresponding po ...
