Electron energy loss spectroscopy of bulk gold with ultrasoft pseudopotentials and the Liouville-Lanczos method

Iurii Timrov

The implementation of ultrasoft pseudopotentials into time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory is detailed for both the Sternheimer approach and the Liouville-Lanczos (LL) method, and equations are presented in the scalar relativistic approxim ...

Small Electron Polarons in CsPbBr3: Competition between Electron Localization and Delocalization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Julia Anna Wiktor, Stefano Falletta

We study the nature of excess electrons in CsPbBr3 and identify several single and double polaronic states. We emphasize the importance of proper inclusion of the self-interaction corrections for the stability of small electron polarons in this material. W ...

Unraveling the synergy between metal-organic frameworks and co-catalysts in photocatalytic water splitting

Alfredo Pasquarello, Kyriakos Stylianou, Stavroula Kampouri, Stefano Falletta, Patrick Gono, Zhendong Guo

We investigate the synergy occurring in photocatalytic water splitting between the metal-organic framework MIL-125-NH(2)and two co-catalysts, namely NiO and Ni2P, by calculating their band edge alignment with respect to the redox levels of liquid water. Fo ...

Electrons leave the flatland: out-of-plane charge dynamics in layered materials

Edoardo Martino

The goal of this thesis is to explore the "neglected" third dimension of layered materials, by studying the interlayer charge dynamics through dc conductivity, optical spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. This project was designed to respond to the gro ...

Light-active Metal-Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Stavroula Kampouri

The general scope of this thesis lies in the application of MOFs in photocatalysis. MOFs demonstrate inherent properties â such as high porosity, tunable optoelectronic and catalytic properties, which render them promising candidates for photocatalysis. ...

Vertical Ionization Energies and Electron Affinities of Native and Damaged DNA Bases, Nucleotides, and Pairs from Density Functional Theory Calculations: Model Assessment and Implications for DNA Damage Recognition and Repair

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Polydefkis Diamantis

To assess the effect of an 8-oxoguanine (8OG) defect base on the vertical ionization energies (VIEs) and electron affinities (VEAs) of DNA, density functional theory calculations were carried out for native and defect DNA bases and nucleotides, as well as ...

Picture of the wet electron: a localized transient state in liquid water

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Michele Pizzochero

A transient state of the excess electron in liquid water preceding the development of the solvation shell, the so-called wet electron, has been invoked to explain spectroscopic observations, but its binding energy and atomic structure have remained highly ...
