Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid models allow one to address chemical phenomena in complex molecular environments. Whereas this modeling approach can cope with a large system size at moderate computational costs, the…
Geometry, electronic structure, and magnetic properties of methylthiolate-stabilized Au$_{25}$L$_{18}$ and MnAu$_{24}$L$_{18}$ (L = SCH$_3$) clusters adsorbed on noble-metal (111) surfaces have been investigated by using spin-polarized…
Machine learning (ML) force fields are one of the most common applications of ML methods in the field of physical and chemical science. In the optimal case, they are able to reach accuracy close to the first principles methods with…
QM/MM hybrid methods employ accurate quantum (QM) models only in regions of interest (defects) and switch to computationally cheaper interatomic potential (MM) models to describe the crystalline bulk. We develop two QM/MM hybrid methods for…
Structure determination by chemical-shift-driven NMR crystallography relies on comparing chemical shieldings measured in solid-state NMR experiments with simulations. However, computational cost limits the accuracy of shielding predictions,…
The structure of thiolate-protected gold cluster Au38(SR)24 has not been determined experimentally and the best available signature is its measured optical spectrum. Using this signature and energetic stability as criteria and SCH3 for SR,…
