Novel chalcogenide materials exhibit remarkable thermal stability along with regulating optoelectronic properties. The structural, optoelectronic, and transport properties of Na4XS (X = Se, Te) materials were investigated using the most advanced density function theory. The calculated cohesive and formation energies confirm the stable nature of the studied materials. The study of their band structure profile reveals that their materials have a direct band gap and exhibit characteristics of a semiconducting nature. The determined peaks in the materials’ computed reflectance spectra suggest that they have the potential to be UV-reflective materials. This could lead to their potential use in UV-shielding devices. The negative Seebeck coefficients of the studied materials specify that they possess an n-type conductivity nature. Based on their direct energy gap, stable structure, adjustable optoelectronic performance, and remarkable thermal nature, they have significant potential for a wide range of novel and advanced technological applications.

The hydration behavior of TiO2 nanoparticles was studied by molecular dynamics simulations and a novel IR ratio spectroscopy method. It was found that the hydration water at the titanium dioxide interface contains molecules with a large number of single hydrogen bond donors, and approximately five water layers were confined within the nano-grooves of the nanoparticles. The confinement effect was observed to enhance the strength of the hydrogen bonds and to slow down the movement of the water molecules around the surface of the nanoparticles.

The multiple minima hypersurface (MMH) approach is a reliable theoretical model for characterizing uranyl-water complexes in aqueous media. It provides insights into probable conformations, solubility, and reactivity through accurate exploration of the local energy landscape via quantum calculations. The approach predicts equilibria and populations of local minima, identifying pre-reactive sites and hydrolyzed ligands. By applying MMH to a wider range of molecular species, a robust theoretical framework is established for understanding the complex chemistry of environmental and nuclear materials. The approach here aims to predict the behavior of weathered uranium mining waste and enhance the study of actinide compounds.

During the dielectric breakdown process of thin solid-state nanopores, the application of high voltages may cause the formation of multi-nanopores on one chip, which number and sizes are important for their applications. Here, simulations were conducted to mimic the investigation of in situ nanopore detection with scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM). Results show that SICM can provide accurate nanopore location and relative pore size. Detection resolution is influenced by the dimensions of the applied probe and separation between the probe and membranes, which can be enhanced under large voltages or a concentration gradient.

Cross-linked hard carbon materials (SFCzGLC1) were prepared from Shenfu bituminous coal (SFC) and glucose (GLC) via a one-step carbonization method. The relationship between the microstructure and Na+ storage behavior was explored. The initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) was related to surface defects. Owing to abundant porous structure and low defects, SFC3GLC1 delivered the highest reversible capacity of 413.1 mAh/g at 0.02 A/g with ICE ∼84 % and excellent cycling stability (89.4 % capacity retention over 200 cycles). This work provides a facile route to develop high-performance, low-cost carbon-based anodes for next-generation sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).

The low-lying states of bismuth monofluoride (BiF) below 50000 cm−1 have been theoretically studied using the multi-reference configuration interaction and the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods, where the spin–orbit coupling (SOC) effects are respectively considered perturbatively or variationally. Since the perturbative treatment of SOC is not a good approximation for the heavy atom Bi, the latter method exhibits higher accuracy and better agreements with the experimental spectroscopic constants. Our results show that the second state of BiF is due to the occupation on the Rydberg 7-shell of Bi, which gives rise to the so-called “triplet ” state and its sub-states reported in the early literatures. With the help of our theoretical results, some experimentally assigned spectral bands with considerable confusion have also been clarified and reassigned.
我们采用多参考构型相互作用和运动方程耦合簇方法对单氟化铋(BiF)50000 cm-1 以下的低洼Ω态进行了理论研究,其中自旋轨道耦合(SOC)效应分别被视为扰动或变异效应。由于自旋轨道耦合效应的扰动处理对于重金属原子 Bi 来说并不是一个很好的近似方法,因此后一种方法具有更高的准确性,并且与实验光谱常数的一致性更好。我们的研究结果表明,BiF 的第二个 3Π 态是由于占据了 Bi 的 Rydberg 7s 壳,从而产生了早期文献中报道的所谓 "三重 C "态及其子态。在我们的理论结果的帮助下,一些在实验中被分配得相当混乱的光谱带也得到了澄清和重新分配。

The state-to-state quantum dynamics of the Ca+ + HD reaction is investigated at collision energies ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 eV based on a non-adiabatic potential energy surface. The integral cross sections are calculated and compared with previous experimental results. The integral cross section of CaH+ is significantly larger than that of CaD+. Additionally, the differential cross sections for CaH+ and CaD+ exhibit distinct trends. Rovibrationally state resolved differential cross sections reveal that the reaction for CaH+ is dominated by the ‘knockout’ mechanism, while the reaction for CaD+ is primarily governed by the stripping mechanism.

Using Density Functional Theory based on the plane wave method and linearized augmented cylindrical wave method, and taking into account the spin–orbit interaction, the structural, electronic and spin properties of ultrathin single-walled nanotubes consisting of six platinum rows are obtained. The nanotubes are found to possess metallic electronic mobility, including the nonchiral Pt(6,0) with the largest number (15G0) of ballistic channels. Analysis of the density of electronic states at Fermi level revealed that the chiral Pt(5,1) has a difference in concentration of mobile electrons with opposite spins of 1.42 times, and up to 3–4 times under a weak torsional strain.

The mutagenicity is an essential parameter for evaluating the safety of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, consumer products, environmentally related compounds and the Ames assay is a significant test for predicting the mutagenicity of chemical compounds. In the data-driven era, developing robust models for efficient mutagenicity prediction before synthesizing and testing in vitro has gained increasing attention. In this study, a machine learning model that could predict Ames mutagenicity based on 2D molecular descriptors was developed. A multistep filtering process that adequately helps in identifying significant descriptors was adopted in this study. Three different sets of descriptors, namely, RDKit, Mordred and CDK were used to train three machine learning algorithms, viz., random forest, xgboost and catboost. The datasets were collected from different resources to develop a robust machine learning model. The robustness of this model was further validated by comparing different available ML and DL models for Ames genotoxicity. Specifically, 12 models, including our xgboost model, were used to validate an external dataset, and our model exhibited excellent performance, with an impressive AUC of 0.97. The codes to predict the genotoxicity of a molecule is available at https://github.com/Naga270588/Genotoxicity.

A recent breakthrough has been achieved by synthesizing monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC). Here, we used ab initio (DFT) molecular dynamics simulations to study silicon and germanium MAC analogs. Typical unit cells contain more than 600 atoms. We also considered their corresponding nanotube structures. The cohesion energy values for MASi and MAGe are approximately 3.0 eV/atom lower than the energy ordering of silicene and germanene, respectively. Their electronic behavior varies from metallic to small band gap semiconductors. Since silicene, germanene, and MAC have already been experimentally realized, the corresponding MAC-like versions we propose are within our present synthetic capabilities.
