QUANTUM ESPRESSO: a modular and open-source software project for quantum simulations of materials

TL;DR: QUANTUM ESPRESSO as discussed by the authors is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave).
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering the reactivity of metal catalysts: a model study of methane dehydrogenation on Rh(111).

TL;DR: These findings indicate that, if it were possible to let the dissociation occur selectively at ad-atom defects, the reaction could be blocked after the first dehydrogenation step, a result of high potential interest for many dream reactions such as, for example, the direct conversion of methane to methanol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methane dehydrogenation on Rh@Cu(111): a first-principles study of a model catalyst.

TL;DR: It is shown that the combination of a very active reaction center with a more inert substrate may hinder the second dehydrogenation step with respect to the first, thus resulting in the reverse of the natural order of the two barriers' heights.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modified XB potential for simulating interactions of organic molecules with Si surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the eXtended Brenner (XB) empirical potential in numerical simulation of the interaction of organic molecules with the Si(1/0/0) surface is evaluated.
