Chiral phonons are mirror-symmetric vibrations that correspond to twisting and rotational motions of atoms. In chiral biomolecules, they correspond to low-energy terahertz (THz)-range vibrations of the molecular segments involving dozens of…
The role of aliphatic side groups on the formation of astronomical unidentified infrared emission (UIE) features is investigated by applying the density functional theory (DFT) to a series of molecules with mixed aliphatic-aromatic…
Amino acids are essential to all life. However, our understanding of some aspects of their intrinsic structure, molecular chemistry, and electronic structure is still limited. In particular the nature of amino acids in their crystalline…
We use vibrational dynamical mean-field theory (VDMFT) to study the vibrational structure of type-I clathrate solids, specifically X$_8$Ga$_{16}$Ge$_{30}$, where X=Ba,Sr. These materials are cage-like chemical structures hosting loosely…
