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

TL;DR: It is shown that propene can be formed from monomeric and dimeric adsorbed 1-propanol, and the relevant transition states for propene and ether formation are similarly, while less effectively, stabilized by intrazeolite water molecules.

Absolute acidity of clay edge sites from ab-initio simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, a microscopic understanding of the solvation structure and reactivity of the edges of neutral clays is provided, in particular the tendency to deprotonation of the different reactive groups on the (0, 1, 0) face of pyrophyllite.

TL;DR: Improved pseudopotentials for the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional are constructed and demonstrate that they exhibit excellent accuracy, well superior to the accuracy that can be obtained by commonly used medium size Gaussian basis sets in all-electron calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-2D SiC was synthesized by reaction between graphene and a silicon source, which was designed and supported by Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations, and the lateral length of the as-synthesized SiC is mainly in the range of 0.3-5 μm while the thickness is commonly below 10 nm.

TL;DR: This work presents not only the smallest (50 nm), fastest (sub-5 ns), thinnest (8 nm) GO-based memory devices produced to date, but also demonstrates that the approach provides easily accessible multilevel storage capabilities along with excellent endurance and retention performance-all on both rigid and flexible substrates.
