Here, we revisit a bulk alignment procedure, originally developed by Frensley and Kroemer, using modern computational tools. The electrostatic potential in the interstitial region, obtained from density functional theory, with four exchange correlation functionals, is used to predict the valence band offsets of 27 zinc blende semiconductors. The results are found to be in qualitative agreement with Frensley and Kroemer's original data. In addition to absolute electron energies, the possibility of extracting effective ionic charges is investigated and compared to Bader partial charges. With further developments, such a procedure may support rapid screening of the bulk ionization potential and electron affinity of crystals, as we illustrate with an extension to rock salt and perovskite structure types.The d-band model has proven to be effective for understanding trends in the chemisorption of various adsorbates on transition metal surfaces. However, hydrogen adsorption at the atop site of transition metals and their bimetallic alloy surfaces do not always correlate well with the d-band center of the adsorption site. Additionally, the d-band model cannot explain the disappearance of the local minima for H adsorption at the hollow site on the potential energy surface of 5d single-atom element doped Au and Ag(111) surfaces. Here, we use a simple model with factors, including the d-band center, filling of the d-band, renormalized adsorbate states, coupling matrix elements, and surface-adsorbate bond lengths, to correlate with the density functional theory calculated H binding energies on both mono- and bimetallic (111) surfaces. Our results suggest that H adsorption at metal-atop sites is determined by all these factors, not only by the d-band center. The strong adsorption of H at the atop sites of 5d metal surfaces can be explained by their lower repulsive contribution.The accuracy and efficiency of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) excited state gradient calculations using the pseudospectral method are presented. TDDFT excited state geometry optimizations of the G2 test set molecules, the organic fluorophores with large Stokes shifts, and the Pt-complexes show that the pseudospectral method gives average errors of 0.01-0.1 kcal/mol for the TDDFT excited state energy, 0.02-0.06 pm for the bond length, and 0.02-0.12° for the bond angle when compared to the results from conventional TDDFT. TDDFT gradient calculations of fullerenes (Cn, n up to 540) with the B3LYP functional and 6-31G** basis set show that the pseudospectral method provides 8- to 14-fold speedups in the total wall clock time over the conventional methods. The pseudospectral TDDFT gradient calculations with a diffuse basis set give higher speedups than the calculations for the same basis set without diffuse functions included.The phase stability and equilibria of carbon dioxide are investigated from 125-325 K and 1-10 000 atm using extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the Two-Phase Thermodynamics (2PT) method. We devise a direct approach for calculating phase diagrams, in general, by considering the separate chemical potentials of the isolated phase at specific points on the P-T diagram. The unique ability of 2PT to accurately and efficiently approximate the entropy and Gibbs energy of liquids allows for assignment of phase boundaries from relatively short (∼100 ps) MD simulations. We validate our approach by calculating the critical properties of the flexible elementary physical model 2, showing good agreement with previous results. We show, however, that the incorrect description of the short-range Pauli force and the lack of molecular charge polarization lead to deviations from experiments at high pressures. We, thus, develop a many-body, fluctuating charge model for CO2, termed CO2-Fq, from high level quantum mechanics (QM) calculations that accurately capture the condensed phase vibrational properties of the solid (including the Fermi resonance at 1378 cm-1) as well as the diffusional properties of the liquid, leading to overall excellent agreement with experiments over the entire phase diagram. This work provides an efficient computational approach for determining phase diagrams of arbitrary systems and underscores the critical role of QM charge reorganization physics in molecular phase stability.In this work, trions in two-dimensional (2D) space are studied by the variational method with trial wavefunctions being constructed by 2D slater-type orbitals. Via this method, trion energy levels and wavefunctions can be calculated efficiently with fairly good accuracy. We first apply this method to study trion energy levels in a 2D hydrogen-like system with respect to a wide range of mass ratios and screening lengths. We find that the ground-state trion is bound for the whole parameter range, and an excited-state trion with antisymmetric permutation of electrons with finite angular momentum is bound for large electron-hole mass ratios or long screening lengths. The binding energies of ground-state trions calculated by the present method agree well with those calculated by more sophisticated but computationally demanding methods. We then calculate trion binding energies in various monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by using this method with the inclusion of electron-hole exchange (EHX) interaction. For TMDCs, we found that the effect of EHX can be significant in determining the trion binding energy and the possible existence of stable excited-state trions.We introduce a diagrammatic approach to facilitate the automatic derivation of analytical nuclear gradients for tensor hyper-contraction (THC) based electronic structure methods. The automatically derived gradients are guaranteed to have the same scaling in terms of both operation count and memory footprint as the underlying energy calculations, and the computation of a gradient is roughly three times as costly as the underlying energy. The new diagrammatic approach enables the first cubic scaling implementation of nuclear derivatives for THC tensors fitted in molecular orbital basis (MO-THC). Furthermore, application of this new approach to THC-MP2 analytical gradients leads to an implementation, which is at least four times faster than the previously reported, manually derived implementation. Finally, we apply the new approach to the 14 tensor contraction patterns appearing in the supporting subspace formulation of multireference perturbation theory, laying the foundation for developments of analytical nuclear gradients and nonadiabatic coupling vectors for multi-state CASPT2.The dynamics of a molecule in a magnetic field is significantly different from its zero-field counterpart. SM-102 ic50 One important difference in the presence of a field is the Lorentz force acting on the nuclei, which can be decomposed as the sum of the bare nuclear Lorentz force and a screening force due to the electrons. This screening force is calculated from the Berry curvature and can change the dynamics qualitatively. It is therefore important to include the contributions from the Berry curvature in molecular dynamics simulations in a magnetic field. In this work, we present a scheme for calculating the Berry curvature numerically using a finite-difference technique, addressing challenges related to the arbitrary global phase of the wave function. The Berry curvature is calculated as a function of bond distance for H2 at the restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock levels of theory and for CH+ as a function of the magnetic field strength at the restricted Hartree-Fock level of theory. The calculations are carried out using basis sets of contracted Gaussian functions equipped with London phase factors (London orbitals) to ensure gauge-origin invariance. In this paper, we also interpret the Berry curvature in terms of atomic charges and discuss its convergence in basis sets with and without London phase factors. The calculation of the Berry curvature allows for its inclusion in ab initio molecular dynamics simulations in a magnetic field.Temperature-dependent dynamic structure factors S(Q, ω) for liquid water have been calculated using a composite model, which is based on the decoupling approximation of the mean square displacement of the water molecules into diffusion and solid-like vibrational parts. The solid-like vibrational part Svib(Q, ω) is calculated with the phonon expansion method established in the framework of the incoherent Gaussian approximation. The diffusion part Sdiff(Q, ω) relies on the Egelstaff-Schofield translational diffusion model corrected for jump diffusions and rotational diffusions with the Singwi-Sjölander random model and Sears expansion, respectively. Systematics of the model parameters as a function of temperature were deduced from quasi-elastic neutron scattering data analysis reported in the literature and from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations relying on the TIP4P/2005f model. The resulting S(Q, ω) values are confronted by means of Monte Carlo simulations to inelastic neutron scattering data measured with IN4, IN5, and IN6 time-of-flight spectrometers of the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) (Grenoble, France). A modest range of temperatures (283-494 K) has been investigated with neutron wavelengths corresponding to incident neutron energies ranging from 0.57 to 67.6 meV. The neutron-weighted multiphonon spectra deduced from the ILL data indicate a slight overestimation by the MD simulations of the frequency shift and broadening of the librational band. The descriptive power of the composite model was suited for improving the comparison to experiments via Bayesian updating of prior model parameters inferred from MD simulations. The reported posterior temperature-dependent densities of state of hydrogen in H2O would represent valuable insights for studying the collective coupling interactions in the water molecule between the inter- and intramolecular degrees of freedom.Previously, we scrutinized the dielectric spectra of a binary glass former made by a low-molecular high-Tg component 2-(m-tertbutylphenyl)-2'-tertbutyl-9,9'-spirobi[9H]fluorene (m-TPTS; Tg = 350 K) and low-Tg tripropyl phosphate (TPP; Tg = 134 K) [Körber et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 23, 7200 (2021)]. Here, we analyze nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and stimulated echo decays of deuterated m-TPTS-d4 (2H) and TPP (31P) and attempt to understand the dielectric spectra in terms of component specific dynamics. The high-Tg component (α1) shows relaxation similar to that of neat systems, yet with some broadening upon mixing. This correlates with high-frequency broadening of the dielectric spectra. The low-Tg component (α2) exhibits highly stretched relaxations and strong dynamic heterogeneities indicated by "two-phase" spectra, reflecting varying fractions of fast and slow liquid-like reorienting molecules. Missing for the high-Tg component, such two-phase spectra are identified down to wTPP = 0.04, indicating that isotropic reorientation prevails in the rigid high-Tg matrix stretching from close to Tg TPP to Tg1 wTPP.
