TLDR
The pseudopotential is of an analytic form that gives optimal efficiency in numerical calculations using plane waves as a basis set and is separable and has optimal decay properties in both real and Fourier space.Abstract:
We present pseudopotential coefficients for the first two rows of the Periodic Table. The pseudopotential is of an analytic form that gives optimal efficiency in numerical calculations using plane waves as a basis set. At most, seven coefficients are necessary to specify its analytic form. It is separable and has optimal decay properties in both real and Fourier space. Because of this property, the application of the nonlocal part of the pseudopotential to a wave function can be done efficiently on a grid in real space. Real space integration is much faster for large systems than ordinary multiplication in Fourier space, since it shows only quadratic scaling with respect to the size of the system. We systematically verify the high accuracy of these pseudopotentials by extensive atomic and molecular test calculations. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.read more

Comparison of the relative stability of zinc and lithium-boron zeolitic imidazolate frameworks
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of Zn-based and LiB-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks reveals that both families exhibit a very similar structure-energy relationship, and exhibit a much larger energy spread than previously proposed.

Quantum mechanical corrections to simulated shock Hugoniot temperatures.
TL;DR: In this article, a simple postprocessing method for calculation of the quantum corrected Hugoniot temperatures is presented, which can be easily applied to a number of different shock compressed molecular liquids or solids, and has the potential to decrease the large uncertainties inherent in many experimental Hugoniiot temperature measurements of these systems.

TL;DR: The enhancement of electrocatalytic reduction is realized by the participation of support‐generated hydronium ions in the proximity of the metal particles, and the hydrogenation rate is not affected when H2 is used as a reduction equivalent.

Ab initio study of point defects in magnesium oxide
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy properties of point defects in MgO have been considered from an ab initio perspective using density functional theory using empirical potential simulations, which showed that the first nearest neighbor Schottky defect is the most energetically favorable point defect.
