Journal ArticleDOI

On the accuracy of density-functional theory exchange-correlation functionals for H bonds in small water clusters. II. The water hexamer and van der Waals interactions

TL;DR: Santra et al. as discussed by the authors used second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory at the complete basis set limit and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo to examine several low energy isomers of the water hexamer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wavelike charge density fluctuations and van der Waals interactions at the nanoscale

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a qualitatively correct description of the vdW interactions between polarizable nanostructures over a wide range of finite distances can only be attained by accounting for the wavelike nature of charge density fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling adsorption and reactions of organic molecules at metal surfaces.

TL;DR: It is shown that the recently developed DFT+vdWsurf method that accurately accounts for the collective electronic response effects enables reliable modeling of structure and stability for a broad class of organic molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen bonds and van der waals forces in ice at ambient and high pressures.

TL;DR: The first principles methods, density-functional theory and quantum Monte Carlo, have been used to examine the balance between van der Waals (vdW) forces and hydrogen bonding in ambient and high-pressure phases of ice as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Machine learning for molecular simulation

TL;DR: In this article, a review of deep neural networks for molecular simulation is presented, with particular focus on (deep) neural network for the prediction of quantum-mechanical energies and forces, coarse-grained molecular dynamics, the extraction of free energy surfaces and kinetics and generative network approaches to sample molecular equilibrium structures and compute thermodynamics.
