Computational chemistry aims to simulate reactions and molecular properties at the atomic scale, advancing the design of novel compounds and materials with economic, environmental, and societal implications. However, the field relies on approximate quantum ...
The pursuit of an increasingly accurate description of intermolecular interactions within the framework of Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) has motivated the construction of numerous benchmark databases over the past two decades. By far, the la ...
The overarching objective of this thesis is extending and adapting the set of computational tools available for describing molecular precursors of organic semiconductors. The research presented within develops adhering to three principle goals: (1) provide ...
Many-body descriptors are widely used to represent atomic environments in the construction of machine-learned interatomic potentials and more broadly for fitting, classification, and embedding tasks on atomic structures. There is a widespread belief in the ...
Machine-learning of atomic-scale properties amounts to extracting correlations between structure, composition and the quantity that one wants to predict. Representing the input structure in a way that best reflects such correlations makes it possible to im ...
Analysis of infrared spectra of palladium nanoparticles (NPs) immersed in the tri-tert-butyl-R-phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) demonstrates that both cations and anions of the ILs interact with the NPs. According to quantum-chemical simulations of th ...
The treatment of dispersion interactions is ubiquitous but computationally demanding for seamless ab initio approaches. A highly popular and simple remedy consists in correcting for the missing interactions a posteriori by adding an attractive energy term ...
Living Labs represent a promising approach to bridge the gap between evidence-based educational research and sustained innovation. This position paper presents our initial work related to educational Living Labs. It describes a model of the research and in ...
The amorphous structure of the phase change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) has been the object of controversial structural models. By employing first-principles molecular dynamics within density functional theory, we are able to obtain quantitative agreement wit ...
Aset of structural properties of liquid GeSe2 are calculated by using first-principles molecular dynamics and including, for the first time, van derWaals dispersion forces. None of the numerous atomic-scale simulations performed in the past on this prototy ...
