In recent years, Green's function methods have garnered considerable interest due to their ability to target both charged and neutral excitations. Among them, the well-established $GW$ approximation provides accurate ionization potentials…

The effective pair potentials between different kinds of dendrimers in solution can be well approximated by appropriate Gaussian functions. We find that in binary dendrimer mixtures the range and strength of the effective interactions…

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting devices and novel phenomena. For 2D applications, their work function, ionization energy, and electron affinity are required as a function of…

We provide a new derivation of the Hawking mass and Willmore energy functionals for asymptotically AdS spacetimes, by embedding Einstein-AdS gravity in Conformal Gravity. By construction, the evaluation of the four-dimensional Conformal…

Using density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), we investigate the stability and response functions of CsH$_2$PO$_4$, a ferroelectric material at low temperature. This material cannot be described…

The thermal transport properties of biphenylene network (BPN), a novel sp2 -hybridized two-dimensional allotrope of carbon atoms recently realized in experiments [Fan et al., Science, 372 852-856 (2021)], are studied using the density…

Exact exchange contributions are known to crucially affect electronic states, which in turn govern covalent bond formation and breaking in chemical species. Empirically averaging the exact exchange admixture over compositional degrees of…

In the present work, we tested the performance of several new functionals for studying the mechanisms of concurrent reaction of hydroarylation and oxidative coupling catalyzed by Ru(II) chloride carbonyls. We find that DLPNO-CCSD(T) is an…

Benchmarks that span a broad swath of chemical space, such as GMTKN55, are very useful for assessing progress in the quest for more universal DFT functionals. We find that the WTMAD2 metrics for a great number of functionals show a clear…

We develop a non-linear and non-empirical (nlane) double hybrid density functional derived from an accurate interpolation of the adiabatic connection in density functional theory, incorporating the correct asymptotic expansions. By bridging…

Density functional theory(DFT) and Hartree-Fock(HF) calculations are reported for the family of transition metal fluorides $\mbox{ScF}_3$, $\mbox{TiF}_4$, $\mbox{VF}_5$, and $\mbox{CrF}_6$. Both HF and the local-density-aproximation (LDA)…

The thermochemistry of linear and branched alkanes with up to eight carbons has been reexamined by means of W4, W3.2lite and W1h theories. `Quasi-W4' atomization energies have been obtained via isodesmic and hypohomodesmotic reactions. Our…

Since the seminal works of Thomas and Fermi, researchers in the Density-Functional Theory (DFT) community are searching for accurate electron density functionals. Arguably, the toughest functional to approximate is the noninteracting…

We present an investigation into the transferability of pseudopotentials (PPs) with a nonlinear core correction (NLCC) using the Goedecker, Teter, and Hutter (GTH) protocol across a range of pure GGA, meta-GGA and hybrid functionals, and…

Complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) computations can be realized at polynomial cost via the variational optimization of the active-space two-electron reduced-density matrix (2-RDM). Like conventional approaches to CASSCF,…

To better understand the thermochemical kinetics and mechanism of a specific chemical reaction, an accurate estimation of barrier heights (forward and reverse) and reaction energy are vital. Due to the large size of reactants and transition…

This work is the second in the series "On the performance of QTP functionals applied to second-order response properties." In the first paper (J. Chem. Phys. 162, 054105, 2025), we demonstrated the good performance of Quantum Theory Project…

We calculated the docking energies between plumbagin and cyclodextrins, using density functional theory (DFT) with several functionals and some semi-empirical methods. Our DFT results revealed that GD3 dispersion force correction…

To satisfy rising energy needs and to handle the forthcoming worldwide climate transformation, major research attention has been drawn to environmentally friendly, renewable, and abundant energy resources. Hydrogen plays an ideal and…

We assess the validity of various exchange-correlation functionals for computing the structural, vibrational, dielectric, and thermodynamical properties of materials in the framework of density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT). We…
