We have recently developed a breakthrough methodology for rapidly computing entropy in both solids and liquids by integrating a multiscale entropy approach (known as zentropy theory) with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. This approach…
Alkali halides $MX$, have been viewed as typical ionic compounds, characterized by 1:1 ratio necessary for charge balance between M$^+$ and X$^-$. It was proposed that group I elements like Cs can be oxidized further under high pressure.…
Coupled-cluster theories can be used to compute ab initio electronic correlation energies of real materials with systematically improvable accuracy. However, the widely-used coupled cluster singles and doubles plus perturbative triples…
The correct calculation of formation enthalpy is one of the enablers of ab-initio computational materials design. For several classes of systems (e.g. oxides) standard density functional theory produces incorrect values. Here we propose the…
Quantitative prediction of thermodynamic properties in solution is essential for translating atomistic simulations into reliable chemical insight. As an exemplar system, the behaviour of CaCO$_3$ in water has been widely studied to…
This study evaluates the precision of widely recognized quantum chemical methodologies, CCSD(T), DLPNO-CCSD(T) and localized ph-AFQMC, for determining the thermochemistry of main group elements. DLPNO-CCSD(T) and localized ph-AFQMC, which…
We report an investigation of the suitability of quantum embedding for modeling the effects of the environment on the X-ray photoelectron spectra of hydrogen chloride and the chloride ions adsorbed on ice surfaces, as well as of chloride…
Today, the electron affinity is experimentally well known for most of the elements and is a useful guideline for developing ab initio computational methods. However, the measurements of isotope shifts on the electron affinity are limited by…
Two new schemes for computing molecular total atomization energies (TAEs) and/or heats of formation ($\Delta H^\circ_f$) of first-and second-row compounds to very high accuracy are presented. The more affordable scheme, W1 (Weizmann-1)…
First-principles calculations are a cornerstone of modern surface science and heterogeneous catalysis. However, accurate reaction energies and barrier heights are frequently inaccessible due to the approximations demanded by the large…
The thermochemistry of the carbon clusters C$_n$ (n=2--10) has been revisited by means of W4 theory and W3.2lite theory. Particularly the larger clusters exhibit very pronounced post-CCSD(T) correlation effects. Despite this, our best…
By judicious use of extrapolations to the 1-particle basis set limit and $n$-particle calibration techniques, total atomization energies of molecules with up to four heavy atoms can be obtained with calibration accuracy (1 kJ/mol or better,…
The thermodynamic description of the (LiF, NaF, KF, CrF2)-CrF3 systems has been revisited, aiming for a better understanding of the effects of Cr on the FLiNaK molten salt. First-principles calculations based on density functional theory…
The Equation of State of Quantum Chromodynamics with $N_f=3$ flavours is determined non-perturbatively with a precision of about $0.5\%-1.0\%$ in the range of temperatures between 3 GeV and 165 GeV. The computation is carried out by…
The standard formation enthalpy and enthalpy from binary oxide of yttrium cuprate have been determined by solution calorimetry combining the solution enthalpies of Y2Cu2O5 and Y2O3 + 2CuO mixture in 6 M HCl at 323.15 K and literature data.…
Standard enthalpies of formation are used for assessing the efficiency and safety of chemical processes in the chemical industry. However, the number of compounds for which the enthalpies of formation are available is many orders of…
We present a simple method for fast and cheap thermal analysis on supercooled glass-forming liquids. This "Thermalization Calorimetry" technique is based on monitoring the temperature and its rate of change during heating or cooling of a…
First-principles density-functional calculations within the local-density approximation and the pseudopotential approach are used to study and characterize the ferroelastic phase transition in calcium chloride (CaCl_2). In accord with…
To most existing non-equilibrium theories, the modeling of non-isothermal processes was a hard task. Intrinsic difficulties involved the non-equilibrium temperature, the coexistence of conserved energy and dissipative entropy, etc. In this…
The calculation of caloric properties such as heat capacity, Joule-Thomson coefficients and the speed of sound by classical force-field-based molecular simulation methodology has received scant attention in the literature, particularly for…
