Cobalt carbonate hydroxide (CCH) is a pseudocapacitive material with remarkably high capacitance and cycle stability. Previously, it was reported that CCH pseudocapacitive materials are orthorhombic in nature. Recent structural…
We investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the newly synthesized mineral barlowite Cu4(OH)6FBr which contains Cu2+ ions in a perfect kagome arrangement. In contrast to the spin-liquid candidate herbertsmithite…
The alkaline-earth orthovanadate Sr$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ with the palmierite structure is reported to host a dielectric anomaly as well as a structural phase transition above the room temperature. With V$^{5+}$ ions and tetrahedral oxygen…
Carbonyl complexes of $d^6$ metals with an alpha-diimine ligand exhibit both emission and ligand-selective photodissociation from MLCT states. Studying this photodissociative mechanism is challenging for experimental approaches due to an…
When investigating the mode of hydrogen activation by [Fe] hydrogenases, not only the chemical reactivity at the active site is of importance but also the large-scale conformational change between the so-called open and closed…
Developing efficient electrocatalysts for CO$_2$ reduction into value-added products is crucial for the green economy. Inspired by the recent synthesis of Biphenylene (BPH), we have systematically investigated pristine, defective, and…
Recent laboratory experiments have demonstrated that, even though contribution from other reaction channels cannot be neglected, unsaturated hydrocarbons easily break their multiple C-C bonds to form CO after their interactions with atomic…
We report on the high-pressure synthesis of a CrS$_2$ phase in the form of single-crystalline nanorods. A structural refinement of Precession Electron Diffraction Tomography data confirms the nominal CrS$_2$ composition and unveils a…
The Red cell-Hb-CSF functions as a sensor adapting response to Hb heterotropic equilibriums. At the lungs O2 and Mg2+, each one increasing affinity for the other stabilize the relax (R) form [(O2)4Hb(Mg)2].(H2O)R. At tissue level, the…
Adiabatic mixed quantum/classical molecular dynamics simulations were used to generate snapshots of the hydrated electron (e-) in liquid water at 300 K. Water cluster anions that include two complete solvation shells centered on the e- were…
Hydrogen activation is a key elementary step in catalytic hydrogenation. In heterogeneous catalysis, it usually proceeds through dissociative adsorption on metal nanoparticles followed by surface diffusion or spillover, whereas homogeneous…
Contrary to prior calculations, the Ni-rich ordered structures of the Cr-Ni alloy system are found to be antiferromagnetic under semi-local density-functional theory. The optimization of local magnetic moments significantly increases the…
Density Functional Theory calculations are used to investigate the role of substrate-induced cooperative effects on the adsorption of water on a partially oxidized transition metal surface, O(2x2)/Ru(0001). Focussing particularly on the…
We present a theoretical investigation of the hydrated hydroxide anion clusters OH(H$_{2}$O)$_{n}^{-}$ and of the collisional complexes H-OH(H$_{2}$O)$_{n}^{-}$ and Rb-OH(H$_{2}$O)$_{n}^{-}$ (with n$=1-4$). The MP2 and CCSD(T) methods are…
We report on a computational study of the clean and oxygen-covered Rh(110) surface, based on density-functional theory within the local-density approximation. We have used plane-wave basis sets and Vanderbilt ultra-soft pseudopotentials.…
The formation of the four three-ring systems \ce{c-(CH2)_{3-k}(SiH2)_{k}}, ($k=0$: cyclopropane, $k=1$: silirane, $k=2$: disilirane, $k=3$: cyclotrisilane) by addition of methylene and silylene to the double bond in ethene, disilene, and…
A uniform distribution of La and Sr in lanthanum-strontium manganites would lead to charged crystal planes, a charged surface, and arbitrarily large surface energy for a bulk crystal. This divergent energy can be eliminated by depleting the…
The charge, bonding, and optical properties of the calcium-doped boron cluster B$_7$Ca$_2$ have been systematically investigated using density functional theory calculations. Extensive global basin-hopping searches identify a single-ring…
Oxygen-scavenging at oxide heterointerfaces has emerged as a powerful route for stabilizing metastable phases that exhibit interesting phenomena, including high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases and high T$_{c}$ superconductivity. We…
The interplay between unconventional superconductivity and the ordering of charge/spin density wave is one of the most vital issues in both condensed matter physics and material science. The Ti-based compound BaTi_2As_2O, which can be seen…
