AbstractHeterostructure quantum dots (QDs) are composed of two QD nanocrystals (NCs) conjoined at an interface. They are useful in applications such as photovoltaic solar cells. The properties of the interface between the NCs determine the efficiency of electron–hole recombination rates and charge transfer. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of how this interface works between the two materials is useful. To contribute to this understanding, we simulated two isolated heterostructure QD models with Janus-like geometry composed of Cd33Se33 + Pb68Se68 NCs. The first Janus-like model has a bond connection between the two NCs and is approximately 16 × 17 × 29 Å3 in size. The second model has a through-space connection between the NCs and is approximately 16 × 17 × 31 Å3. We use density functional theory to simulate the ground state properties of these models. Nonadiabatic on-the-fly couplings calculations were then used to construct the Redfield Tensor, which described the excited state dynamics due to nonradiative relaxation. From our results, we identified a qualitative trend which shows that having a bond connecting the two NCs reduces hole relaxation time. We also identified for a sample of electron–hole excitations pairs that the through-bond model allows for a net positive or negative numerical net charge transfer, depending on the excitation pair.KEYWORDS: Nonadiabatic couplingsRedfield tensorheterostructure quantum dotssolar cellsnonradiative relaxation AcknowledgementsWe also acknowledge that this research used resources of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, operated under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231, allocation ‘Computational Modeling of Photo-catalysis and Photo-induced Charge Transfer Dynamics on Surfaces'.

AbstractIn 2021 Olaru, Mebs, and Beckmann reported the synthesis of remakrable cationic carbene analogues PR2+ and AsR2+. This work followed the same group's synthesis of SbR2+ and BiR2+. To better understand these important systems, SbH2+ and BiH2+ have been studied with high level ab initio quantum mechanical methods. Geometries were optimised with the CCSDT(Q) method with the cc-pwCVTZ-PP basis set using small core pseudopotentials. Fundamental vibrational frequencies were computed to provide theoretical predictions for future synthetic studies. Relative energies with respect to Pn+ + H2 (Pn = Sb, Bi) were determined at the CCSDT/CBS level of theory via the Focal Point Analysis method, and anharmonic zero-point vibrational energy and higher order contributions were also computed. For SbH2+, we obtained R = 1.697 Å and θ=90.8∘ with Sb++H2→SbH2+ reaction enthalpy of ΔH=−18.71kcalmol−1. For BiH2+, the analogous results were R = 1.774 Å, θ=89.7∘, and ΔH=−7.64kcalmol−1 for Bi++H2→BiH2+.Keywords: Pnictogenium cationsantimonybismuthab initioCCSDT(Q) Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingWe acknowledge support from the US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) under Contract No. DE-SC0018412.

AbstractThe solutions of the Schrὅdinger equation for a molecular Mobius square potential are obtained using two elegant traditional methods. In each case, the energy equation is obtained. The pure vibrational energies for seven different molecules are studied using their respective spectroscopic constants and the obtained energy equation.

AbstractA theoretical approach aimed at the quantum statistical mechanics of a molecular ensemble coupled to a lossless cavity mode is presented. A canonical ensemble is considered and an approximate formula is devised for the Helmholtz free energy correction due to cavity-molecule coupling, which enables the derivation of experimentally measurable thermodynamic quantities. The frequency of the cavity mode is assumed to lie in the infrared range. Therefore, the cavity couples to molecular vibrations and our treatment is restricted to the electronic ground state of the molecule. The method is tested for an analytically solvable model system of one-dimensional harmonic oscillators coupled to the cavity. The performance of the approximation and its range of validity are discussed in detail. It is shown that the leading-order correction to the Helmholtz free energy is proportional to the square of the collective coupling strength. We also demonstrate that the cavity mode does not have a significant impact on the thermodynamic properties of the system in the collective ultrastrong coupling regime (the collective coupling strength is comparable to the frequency of the cavity mode).Keywords: Polaritonic chemistrymolecular polaritonsstatistical mechanicscanonical ensemble Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractThe second virial coefficient, the Boyle temperature and the equation of state of van Hove fluids with a relatively short ranged attractive parabolic-well of downward concavity are considered. The analytic second virial coefficient for this fluid is obtained explicitly and it is used to compute the Boyle temperature of the fluid as a function of the range of the potential. Further, an equation of state is derived using the second-order thermodynamic perturbation theory of Barker and Henderson in the macroscopic compressibility approximation, with the hard-sphere fluid being the reference fluid. For this latter we profit from the fully analytical expression of the radial distribution function, consistent with the Carnahan-Starling equation state, derived within the so-called rational function approximation method up to a range twice the size of the hard-core diameter. The results for the reduced pressure of the fluid as a function of the packing fraction and two values of the range of the potential well at different temperatures are compared with Monte Carlo simulation data. Estimates of the values of the critical temperature are also provided.KEYWORDS: Van Hove potentialparabolic-well fluidthermodynamic perturbation theoryequation of state Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingOne of us (A.R.R.) acknowledges financial support from Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades de la Junta de Andalucía through post-doctoral grant no.

摘要考虑了具有较短距离向下凹性吸引抛物井的van Hove流体的二阶维里系数、波义耳温度和状态方程。明确地得到了该流体的解析二次维里系数,并用它来计算流体的波义耳温度作为势范围的函数。进一步,利用Barker和Henderson的二阶热力学摄动理论,以硬球流体为参考流体,导出了宏观可压缩性近似下的状态方程。对于后者,我们受益于径向分布函数的完全解析表达式,与Carnahan-Starling方程状态一致,在所谓的有理函数近似方法中导出,直至硬核直径大小的两倍。在不同温度下,流体的减压随填料分数的变化,以及势井范围的两个值与蒙特卡罗模拟数据进行了比较。还提供了临界温度值的估计。关键词:Van Hove势抛物井流体热力学微扰理论状态方程披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。其他信息资助我们之一(A.R.R.)承认Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, conciciento和universsidades de la Junta de Andalucía的财政支持,博士后资助号为:DC 00316 (PAIDI 2020),由欧盟社会欧洲基金会(FSE)共同资助。A.R.-R。还感谢科学部长Innovación(西班牙)的支持。pid2021 - 126348 - nb - i00。

AbstractThe adsorption stability, geometry, and electronic and magnetic properties of H2S adsorbed on pristine, vacancy defected, and transition metal (TM)-doped phosphorene-graphene (PG) heterostructures were calculated using density functional theory. In pristine and vacancy defected PG systems, the interaction between H2S and the heterostructure was weak, and the mechanism was physical adsorption. After TM-doping (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, and Ni), the strong orbital hybridisation between the dopant and H2S significantly enhanced the interaction between H2S and the doped heterostructures, and the physisorption mechanism of H2S changed to chemical adsorption. The adsorption energy and desorption time of H2S molecules on Mn-doped PG heterostructures was suitable, which can be applied as sensors to detect H2S gas. The density of states of Cr- and Mn-doped PG heterostructures exhibited asymmetric electron spin states, indicating the existence of magnetic moments. Thus, introducing defects and TM dopants on PG heterostructures can improve H2S sensitivity, providing a theoretical basis for developing gas detection sensors.KEYWORDS: Phosphorene-graphene heterostructuresensorDFTtransition-metal dopant Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC, Grant Nos. 61874160 and 11604080), Key Science Foundation of Higher Education of Henan (22A140005), Natural Science Foundation of Henan (grant number 202300410125), Program for Innovative Research Team (in Science and Technology) in University of Henan Province (22IRTSTHN012), and the Student Research Training Program of School of Physics and Engineering (grant number WLSRTP202201).

AbstractScalable numerical solutions to the time dependent Schrodinger equation remain an outstanding goal in theoretical chemistry. Here we present a method which utilises recent breakthroughs in signal processing to consistently adapt a dictionary of basis functions to the dynamics of the system.
