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

Impact of Surface Charging on Catalytic Processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface charges on the performance of catalysts was investigated in the context of density functional calculations of charged semiperiodic systems, and the results showed that negative surface charge significantly improves the reductive power of the catalytic process.

Long‐Life Zn Anode Enabled by Low Volume Concentration of a Benign Electrolyte Additive
TL;DR: In this paper , a benign alcohol molecule propylene glycol is presented as an electrolyte additive that enables remarkably stable Zn anode cycling of over 1000 h at a practical 2 mA-2 mA h cm−2 at a low volume concentration when the reference cell shorts only after 30 h.
