AbstractFor sensing XO2 (X = C, N and S) gas species, this work purposes Pt-embedded WSTe monolayer, and using first-principles theory uncovers related gas adsorption properties and sensing mechanism. Results indicate that Pt-embedding is more energy favourable by replacing Te atom of the Janus WSTe monolayer with the formation energy of −1.78 eV, narrowing the bandgap to 0.926 eV. Besides, the Pt-WSTe monolayer performs weak physisorption upon CO2 with adsorption energy (Ead) of −0.17 eV, while strong chemisorption upon NO2 and SO2 with Ead of −1.43 and −1.17 eV, respectively. The analysis of electronic property uncovers the sensing potential of Pt-WSTe monolayer as a resistance-type NO2 or SO2 gas sensor with higher sensing response upon SO2, and the analysis of work function (WF) uncovers the sensing potential of Pt-WSTe monolayer as a WF-type NO2 or SO2 gas sensor with higher sensing response upon NO2. We are hopeful that the findings in this work can help to explore the possible application of Pt-WSTe monolayer in the gas sensing field and also to make some other explorations on Janus WSTe-based material for gas detections.KEYWORDS: Pt-WSTe monolayerfirst-principles theoryXO2gas sensing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 52207175).

AbstractThis paper presents a study on the optimisation of laser pulse parameters using an optimal control theory based adaptive simulated annealing technique. The objective of this study is to obtain a cost-effective laser pulse that can selectively excite the vibrational state and cause photo-dissociation of the C–H bond in a methane molecule. We have optimised both sinusoidal and linear ramped pulses using the proposed technique, and incorporated a linear chirping in the field as well. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in designing laser pulses for targeted molecular excitation and dissociation.KEYWORDS: Photo-dissociationlaser pulse designoptimal control theorysimulated annealing techniqueFourier grid Hamiltonian method AcknowledgementsThe work was supported by UGC, Govt. of India, under CAS program [Grant no.

AbstractThe synergy between high-resolution rotational spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations is essential for exploring future detection of molecules, especially when spectroscopy parameters are not available yet. By using highly correlated ab initio quartic force fields (QFFs) from explicitly correlated coupled cluster theory, a complete set of rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants for D2CS and cis/trans-DCSD isomers have been produced. Comparing our new ab initio results for D2CS with new rotational spectroscopy laboratory data for the same species, the accuracy of the computed B and C rotational constants is within 0.1% while the A constant is only slightly higher. Additionally, quantum chemical vibrational frequencies are also provided, and these spectral reference data and new experimental rotational lines will provide additional references for potential observation of these deuterated sulfur species with either ground-based radio telescopes or space-based infrared observatories.Keywords: Sulfur chemistryab initio calculationsmolecular spectroscopylaboratory spectroscopy AcknowledgmentsWe dedicate this article to the memory of Tim Lee, who passed away on November 3, 2022.

摘要高分辨率旋转光谱学和量子化学计算之间的协同作用对于探索未来分子检测至关重要,特别是在光谱学参数尚不可用的情况下。利用显相关耦合团簇理论中高度相关的从头算四次力场(qff),得到了D2CS和顺式/反式dcsd异构体的旋转常数和离心畸变常数的完整集合。将D2CS的新从头算结果与同一物种的新旋转光谱实验室数据进行比较,计算的B和C旋转常数的精度在0.1%以内,而A常数仅略高。此外,还提供了量子化学振动频率,这些光谱参考数据和新的实验旋转线将为地基射电望远镜或天基红外天文台观测这些氘化硫物质提供额外的参考。关键词:硫化学初始计算分子光谱学实验室光谱学致谢我们谨以此篇文章来纪念于2022年11月3日去世的Tim Lee。他的贡献在整个量子化学领域,特别是在天体化学领域的发展中发挥了关键作用。他的离去将让我们深深感到悲痛,他的遗产将继续激励和指导子孙后代。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1 CFOUR,由j.f.
