Dispersion Interactions with Density-Functional Theory: Benchmarking Semiempirical and Interatomic Pairwise Corrected Density Functionals

TL;DR: It is found that the semiempirical kinetic-energy-density dependence introduced in the M06 functionals mimics some of the nonlocal correlation needed to describe dispersion, however, long-range contributions are still missing.
Journal ArticleDOI

How to remove the spurious resonances from ring polymer molecular dynamics

TL;DR: Numerically how the approximation to quantum dynamics depends on this friction is explored, with a particular emphasis on vibrational spectroscopy: a broad range of frictions approaching optimal damping give similar results, and these results are immune to both the resonance problem of RPMD and the curvature problem of CMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semiconducting Nanowire-Based Optoelectronic Fibers

TL;DR: First principles density-functional theory calculations show that this approach enables to tailor the surface energy of crystal facets and favors nanowire growth along a preferred orientation, resulting in fiber-integrated devices of unprecedented performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unraveling the stability of polypeptide helices: critical role of van der Waals interactions.

TL;DR: It is shown that a proper consideration of van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces in density-functional theory (DFT) is essential, and a recently developed DFT+vdW approach enables long time-scale ab initio molecular dynamics simulations at an accuracy close to "gold standard" quantum-chemical calculations.
