Integration of nanoporous materials such as metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with sensitive transducers can result robust sensing platforms for monitoring gases and chemical vapors for a range of applications. Here, we report on an…
In this work, we have carried out a two-dimensional (2D) simulation of thermal instability (TI) in interstellar matter (ISM), considering it to be a weakly ionised inviscid plasma with radiation loss. We carry out the simulation using our…
Silica polymorphs and zeolites are fundamental to a wide range of industrial applications owing to their diverse structural characteristics, thermodynamic and mechanical stability under varying conditions and due to their geological…
We investigate crystalline thermodynamic stable lithium silicides phases (LixSiy) with density functional theory (DFT) and a force-field method based on modified embedded atoms (MEAM) and compare our results with experimental data. This…
In the present work, we employ broadband dielectric spectroscopy to study the molecular dynamics of the prototypical glass former glycerol confined in two microporous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8 and ZIF-11) with well-defined pore…
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks are widely thought of as being analogous to inorganic AB$_{2}$ phases. We test the validity of this assumption by comparing simplified and fully atomistic machine-learning models for local environments in…
Due to their favorable properties and high porosity, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have recently received much limelight for key technologies such as energy storage, optoelectronics, sensorics, and catalysis. Despite the widespread…
Although the tailored metal active sites and porous architectures of MOFs hold great promise for engineering challenges ranging from gas separations to catalysis, a lack of understanding of how to improve their stability limits their use in…
High-throughput screening of large hypothetical databases of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can uncover new materials, but their stability in real-world applications is often unknown. We leverage community knowledge and machine learning…
By treating idealized zeolite frameworks as periodic mechanical trusses, we show that the number of flexible folding mechanisms in zeolite frameworks is strongly peaked at the minimum density end of their flexibility window. 25 of the 197…
Results of a series of molecular dynamics simulations of cubic siliceous zeolites suggest that pressure-induced softening -- the phenomenon in which a material becomes progressively more compressible under pressure -- is likely to be a…
We investigate the feasibility of four-connected nets as hypothetical zinc cyanide polymorphs, as well as their thermal and mechanical properties, through quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. We confirm the…
The stability of possible termination structures for the (010) surface of forsterite, $ Mg_2SiO_4 $, is studied using a density functional theory (DFT) based thermodynamic approach. The DFT calculations are used to estimate the surface…
In this contribution, the well-known MARTINI particle-based coarse graining approach is tested for its ability to model the ZIF-8 metal-organic framework. Its capability to describe structure, lattice parameters, thermal expansion, elastic…
We present the frequency-dependant (dynamic) dielectric response of a group of topical polycrystalline zeolitic imidazolate-based metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in the extended infrared spectral region. Using synchrotron-based FTIR…
Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a multifunctional platform for creating non-invasive sensors and tuneable optoelectronics. However, fluorochromic materials that are photophysically resilient and show high sensitivity…
Hybrid glasses connect emerging fields of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the glass-formation, amorphization, and melting processes of these structurally diverse and chemically versatile systems. Most zeolites, including MOFs,…
We generalize a previously established ab initio approach-originally developed for hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals-to accommodate solids with both internal and external degrees of freedom. This extension enables the thermodynamic and…
We perform first-principles path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) and density functional theory molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) calculations to explore warm dense matter states of LiF. Our simulations cover a wide density-temperature range of…
Understanding how structural flexibility affects the properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is crucial for the design of better MOFs for targeted applications. Flexible MOFs can be studied with molecular dynamics simulations, whose…
