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

Interactions of Dimethoxy Ethane with Li2O2 Clusters and Likely Decomposition Mechanisms for Li–O2 Batteries
TL;DR: In this article, the decomposition pathways of DME by the chemical reaction with the major discharge product, Li2O2, are investigated using theoretical methods, and the most favorable site is a Li-O-Li site that may be present on small nanoparticles or as a defect site on a surface.

Insight into the nucleation of urea crystals from the melt
Federico Giberti,Federico Giberti,Matteo Salvalaglio,Matteo Salvalaglio,Marco Mazzotti,Michele Parrinello,Michele Parrinello +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the nucleation of urea at the atomic scale using enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations, and show that by employing a set of suitably defined collective variables in a well-tempered metadynamics scheme, it is possible to reversibly drive the system across the solid-liquid phase transition and to recover the associated free energy surface.

Hydration and Ion Pairing in Aqueous Mg2+ and Zn2+ Solutions: Force-Field Description Aided by Neutron Scattering Experiments and Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations
TL;DR: This work combines neutron scattering experiments in a specific mixture of H2O and D2O with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to probe the difference in the hydration structure and ion-pairing properties of chloride solutions of the two cations and shows that using this electronic continuum correction it can describe aqueous magnesium chloride solutions well.
