The critical cluster sizes are determined experimentally and theoretically according to the Gibbs-Thomson equation, showing a reasonable agreement as documented in the literature. Finally, we propose an empirical correction of the classical nucleation theory for the nucleation rate calculation. The empirical expression is in agreement with the experimental data for the analyzed mixtures (water-helium, water-argon, and water-nitrogen) and thermodynamic conditions (0.06 MPa-2 MPa and 220 K-260 K).Eigenvectors of the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Hamiltonian have recently been employed as a variational wavefunction ansatz in quantum chemistry. This wavefunction is a mean-field of pairs of electrons (geminals). In this contribution, we report optimal expressions for their reduced density matrices in both the original physical basis and the basis of the Richardson-Gaudin pairs. Donafenib Physical basis expressions were originally reported by Gorohovsky and Bettelheim [Phys. Rev. B 84, 224503 (2011)]. In each case, the expressions scale like O(N4), with the most expensive step being the solution of linear equations. Analytic gradients are also reported in the physical basis. These expressions are an important step toward practical mean-field methods to treat strongly correlated electrons.The polarized interface between two immiscible liquids plays a central role in many technological processes. In particular, for electroanalytical and ion extraction applications, an external electric field is typically used to selectively induce the transfer of ionic species across the interfaces. Given that it is experimentally challenging to obtain an atomistic insight into the ion transfer process and the structure of liquid-liquid interfaces, atomistic simulations have often been used to fill this knowledge gap. However, due to the long-range nature of the electrostatic interactions and the use of 3D periodic boundary conditions, the use of external electric fields in molecular dynamics simulations requires special care. Here, we show how the simulation setup affects the dielectric response of the materials and demonstrate how by a careful design of the system it is possible to obtain the correct electric field on both sides of a liquid-liquid interface when using standard 3D Ewald summation methods. In order to prove the robustness of our approach, we ran extensive molecular dynamics simulations with a rigid-ion and polarizable force field of the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface in the presence of weak external electric fields.A rigorous generation of spin-adapted (spin-free) substitution operators for high spin (S = Sz) references of an arbitrary substitution order and spin quantum number S is presented. The generated operators lead to linearly independent but non-orthogonal configuration state functions (CSFs) when applied to the reference and span the complete spin space. To incorporate spin completeness, spectating substitutions (e.g., Êivva) are introduced. The presented procedure utilizes Löwdin's projection operator method of spin eigenfunction generation to ensure spin completeness. The generated operators are explicitly checked for (i) their linear independence and (ii) their spin completeness for up to tenfold substitutions and up to a multiplicity of 2S + 1 = 11. A proof of concept implementation utilizing the generated operators in a coupled cluster (CC) calculation was successfully applied to the high spin states of the boron atom. The results show pure spin states and small effects on the correlation energy compared to spin orbital CC. A comparison to spin-adapted but spin-incomplete CC shows a significant spin-incompleteness error.SABRE (Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange) has become a widely used method for hyper-polarizing nuclear spins, thereby enhancing their Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) signals by orders of magnitude. In SABRE experiments, the non-equilibrium spin order is transferred from parahydrogen to a substrate in a transient organometallic complex. The applicability of SABRE is expanded by the methodology of SABRE-relay in which polarization can be relayed to a second substrate either by direct chemical exchange of hyperpolarized nuclei or by polarization transfer between two substrates in a second organometallic complex. To understand the mechanism of the polarization transfer and study the transfer efficiency, we propose a theoretical approach to SABRE-relay, which can treat both spin dynamics and chemical kinetics as well as the interplay between them. The approach is based on a set of equations for the spin density matrices of the spin systems involved (i.e., SABRE substrates and complexes), which can be solved numerically. Using this method, we perform a detailed study of polarization formation and analyze in detail the dependence of the attainable polarization level on various chemical kinetic and spin dynamic parameters. We foresee the applications of the present approach for optimizing SABRE-relay experiments with the ultimate goal of achieving maximal NMR signal enhancements for substrates of interest.We studied the effect of self-interaction error (SIE) on the static dipole polarizabilities of water clusters modeled with three increasingly sophisticated, non-empirical density functional approximations (DFAs), viz., the local spin density approximation (LDA), the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized-gradient approximation (GGA), and the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-GGA, using the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction-correction (PZ-SIC) energy functional in the Fermi-Löwdin orbital SIC framework. Our results show that while all three DFAs overestimate the cluster polarizabilities, the description systematically improves from LDA to PBE to SCAN. The self-correlation free SCAN predicts polarizabilities quite accurately with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.53 bohr3 with respect to coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) values. Removing SIE using PZ-SIC correctly reduces the DFA polarizabilities, but overcorrects, resulting in underestimated polarizabilities in SIC-LDA, SIC-PBE, and SIC-SCAN. Finally, we applied a recently proposed locally scaled SIC (LSIC) method using a quasi self-consistent scheme and using the kinetic energy density ratio as an iso-orbital indicator. The results show that the LSIC polarizabilities are in excellent agreement with mean absolute errors of 0.08 bohr3 for LSIC-LDA and 0.06 bohr3 for LSIC-PBE with most recent CCSD polarizabilities. Likewise, the ionization energy estimates as absolute of highest occupied energy eigenvalue predicted by LSIC are also in excellent agreement with CCSD(T) ionization energies with MAEs of 0.4 eV for LSIC-LDA and 0.06 eV for LSIC-PBE. The LSIC-LDA predictions of ionization energies are comparable to the reported GW ionization energies, while the LSIC-PBE ionization energies are more accurate than the reported GW results.Density functional theory is widely used for modeling the magnetic properties of molecules, solids, and surfaces. Rung-3.5 ingredients, based on the expectation values of nonlocal one-electron operators, are new promising tools for the construction of exchange-correlation functional approximations. We present the formal extension of rung-3.5 ingredients to the calculation of magnetic properties. We add to the underlying nonlocal operators a dependence on the gauge of the magnetic field, and we derive the working equations for rung-3.5 expectation values in basis sets of gauge-including atomic orbitals. We demonstrate that the gauge corrections are significant. We conclude with an initial study of chemical shifts, optical rotatory dispersion, and Raman optical activity spectra predicted by M11plus, a range-separated hybrid meta functional incorporating nonlocal rung-3.5 correlation. M11plus proves to be reasonably accurate, further motivating the incorporation of nonlocal rung-3.5 ingredients in new density functional approximations.Concurrent multiscale techniques such as Adaptive Resolution Scheme (AdResS) can offer ample computational advantages over conventional atomistic (AT) molecular dynamics simulations. However, they typically rely on aphysical hybrid regions to maintain numerical stability when high-resolution degrees of freedom (DOFs) are randomly re-inserted at the resolution interface. We propose an Energy Minimized AT (DOF) Insertion (EMATI) method that uses an informed rather than random AT DOF insertion to tackle the root cause of the issue, i.e., overlapping AT potentials. EMATI enables us to directly couple AT and coarse-grained resolutions without any modifications of the interaction potentials. We exemplify AdResS-EMATI in a system of liquid butane and show that it yields improved structural and thermodynamic properties at the interface compared to competing AdResS approaches. Furthermore, our approach extends the applicability of the AdResS without a hybrid region to systems for which force capping is inadequate.We report on a quadratically convergent self-consistent field (QC-SCF) algorithm for the spin-projected unrestricted Hartree-Fock (SUHF) to mitigate the slow convergence of SUHF due to the presence of small eigenvalues in the orbital Hessian matrix. The new QC-SCF is robust and stable, allowing us to obtain the SUHF solutions very quickly. To demonstrate the applicability of the method, we present results for test systems with abundant non-dynamic correlation in comparison with the Roothaan repeated diagonalization, Pople extrapolation, and direct inversion of iterative subspace.We demonstrate an efficient algorithm for inverse problems in time-dependent quantum dynamics based on feedback loops between Hamiltonian parameters and the solutions of the Schrödinger equation. Our approach formulates the inverse problem as a target vector estimation problem and uses Bayesian surrogate models of the Schrödinger equation solutions to direct the optimization of feedback loops. For the surrogate models, we use Gaussian processes with vector outputs and composite kernels built by an iterative algorithm with the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) as a kernel selection metric. The outputs of the Gaussian processes are designed to model an observable simultaneously at different time instances. We show that the use of Gaussian processes with vector outputs and the BIC-directed kernel construction reduces the number of iterations in the feedback loops by, at least, a factor of 3. We also demonstrate an application of Bayesian optimization for inverse problems with noisy data. To demonstrate the algorithm, we consider the orientation and alignment of polyatomic molecules SO2 and propylene oxide (PPO) induced by strong laser pulses. We use simulated time evolutions of the orientation or alignment signals to determine the relevant components of the molecular polarizability tensors. We show that, for the five independent components of the polarizability tensor of PPO, this can be achieved with as few as 30 quantum dynamics calculations.The quantitative role of entropy in the surface diffusion of molecules with many degrees of freedom is still not well understood. Here, we quantify entropic diffusion barriers as well as attempt frequencies by performing a systematic decomposition of the Arrhenius equation for single oligophenyl molecules of various lengths (two to six phenyl rings and benzene as the reference) on an amorphous silica surface using extensive molecular dynamics simulations. Attempt frequencies evaluated from velocity auto-correlation functions are found close to kBT/h, the frequency factor of transition state theory. Importantly, we find large positive entropy contributions to the free energy barrier of diffusion up to 55%, increasing with molecular length with 4.1 kJ/mol/phenyl ring. The entropic barrier is about 40%-60% of the entropy of the molecule surface adsorption free energy, revealing that at the transition states, the molecules can liberate a major part of their conformational states, increasing with length. The substantial role of the internal degrees of freedom for the diffusive dynamics is explicitly demonstrated by studying internally constrained, "rigid" version of the molecules.
