Van der Waals (vdW) interactions are essential for describing molecules and materials, from drug design and catalysis to battery applications. These omnipresent interactions must also be accurately included in machine-learned force fields.…
We introduce an electron-photon exchange-correlation functional for quantum electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT). The approach, photon MBD (pMBD), is inspired by the many-body dispersion (MBD) method for weak intermolecular…
Accurate treatment of the long-range electron correlation energy, including van der Waals (vdW) or dispersion interactions, is essential for describing the structure, dynamics, and function of a wide variety of systems. Among the most…
The adsorption of aromatic molecules on metal surfaces plays a key role in condensed matter physics and functional materials. Depending on the strength of the interaction between the molecule and the surface, the binding is typically…
Noncovalent van der Waals (vdW) interactions are responsible for a wide range of phenomena in matter. Popular density-functional methods that treat vdW interactions use disparate physical models for these intricate forces, and as a result…

Many-body dispersion (MBD) is a powerful framework to treat van der Waals (vdW) dispersion interactions in density-functional theory and related atomistic modeling methods. Several independent implementations of MBD with varying degree of…
A common approach to modeling dispersion interactions and overcoming the inaccurate description of long-range correlation effects in electronic structure calculations is the use of pairwise-additive potentials, as in the…
The dispersion component of the van der Waals (vdW) interaction in low-dimensional metals is known to exhibit anomalous "Type-C non-additivity" [Int. J. Quantum Chem. 114, 1157 (2014)]. This causes dispersion energy behavior, at…
The adsorption of 1,4-benzenediamine (BDA) on the Au(111) surface and azobenzene on the Ag(111) surface is investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with a non-local density functional (vdW-DF) and a semi-local…

Exploring the role of van der Waals (vdW) forces on the adsorption of molecules on extended metal surfaces has become possible in recent years thanks to exciting developments in density functional theory (DFT). Among these newly developed…
A new scheme for the computation of dispersive interactions from first principles is presented. This cost-effective approach relies on a Wannier function representation compatible with density function theory descriptions. This is an…
Quantum dot (QD) assemblies are nanostructured networks made from aggregates of QDs and feature improved charge and energy transfer efficiencies compared to discrete QDs. Using first-principles many-body perturbation theory, we…

Polymorphs in molecular crystals are often very close in energy, yet they may possess markedly different physical and chemical properties. The understanding and prediction of polymorphism is of paramount importance for a variety of…
We present density functional theory calculations of the geometry, adsorption energy and electronic structure of thiophene adsorbed on Cu(111), Cu(110) and Cu(100) surfaces. Our calculations employ dispersion corrections and self-consistent…
We estimate polarizabilities of atoms in molecules without electron density, using a Voronoi tesselation approach instead of conventional density partitioning schemes. The resulting atomic dispersion coefficients are calculated, as well as…
