Guidelines and Diagnostics for Charge Carrier Tuning in Thiophene-Based Wires

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ganna Gryn'ova, Pauline Jeanne Ollitrault

Reported experimental trends in charge carrier tuning in single molecule junctions of oligothiophene-based wires are rationalized by means of frontier molecular orbital theory. The length and substituent effects on the frontier orbitals energy levels’ are ...

Solvent fluctuations and nuclear quantum effects modulate the molecular hyperpolarizability of water

Michele Ceriotti, Sylvie Roke, David Mark Wilkins, Andrea Grisafi, Gabriele Tocci, Chung-Wen Liang

Second-harmonic scattering (SHS) experiments provide a unique approach to probe noncentrosymmetric environments in aqueous media, from bulk solutions to interfaces, living cells, and tissue. A central assumption made in analyzing SHS experiments is that ea ...

Electronic Levels of Excess Electrons in Liquid Water

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli

We provide a consistent description of the electronic levels associated with localized and delocalized excess electrons in liquid water by combining hybrid-functional molecular dynamics simulations with a grand canonical formulation of solutes in aqueous s ...

Quantifying Electronic Phenomena in Organic Chromophores

Antonio Prlj

Challenging ground and excited state problems in the chemistry of common organic chromophores are investigated with state-of-the-art quantum chemical methods. We present a comprehensive excited state molecular dynamics analysis of (a) fundamental building ...

Computational Characterization of the Dependence of Halide Perovskite Effective Masses on Chemical Composition and Structure

Michael Graetzel, Ursula Röthlisberger, Giulia Palermo, Simone Meloni, Amir Hesam Salavati, Negar Ashari Astani

Effective masses are calculated for a large variety of perovskites of the form ABX(3) differing in chemical composition (A= Na, Li, Cs; B = Pb, Sn; X= Cl, Br, I) and crystal structure. In addition, the effects of some defects and dopants are assessed. We s ...

Photochromic Torsional Switch (PTS): a Light-Driven Actuator for the Dynamic Tuning of π-Conjugation Extension

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Pascal Miéville, Riccardo Petraglia, Giuseppe Sforazzini, Emilie Baudat, Adrien Georges Nicolai, Adam Antoni Sobczuk

Here we present a molecular architecture that can reversibly change the geometric conformation of its π-system backbone via irradiation with two different wavelengths. The proposed ‘molecular actuator’ consists of a photoswitchable azobenzene orthogonally ...

Valence and conduction band tuning in halide perovskites for solar cell applications

Ursula Röthlisberger, Giulia Palermo, Simone Meloni, Negar Ashari Astani

We performed density functional calculations aimed at identifying the atomistic and electronic structure origin of the valence and conduction band, and band gap tunability of halide perovskites ABX(3) upon variations of the monovalent and bivalent cations ...

On-Surface Assembly and Reactions of Organic Molecules in Ultra-High Vacuum

Claudius Morchutt

This thesis comprises the study of two types of 2D materials, those stabilized by non-covalent and those by covalent interactions. They are synthesized and studied on well-defined metallic surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The self-assembly of terephtha ...

Evidence of quantum dimer excitations in Sr3Ir2O7

Frédéric Mila, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Vera Irina Schnells

The magnetic excitation spectrum in the bilayer iridate Sr3Ir2O7 has been investigated using high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) performed at the iridium L-3 edge and theoretical techniques. A study of the systematic dependence of th ...

Development of prediction models for the reactivity of organic compounds with ozone in aqueous solution by quantum chemical calculations: Role of delocalized and localized molecular orbitals

Urs von Gunten, Jeremy Samuel Arey, Minju Lee, Saskia Gisela Zimmermann-Steffens

Second-order rate constants (k(O3)) for the reaction of ozone with micropollutants are essential parameters for the assessment of micropollutant elimination efficiency during ozonation in water and wastewater treatment. Prediction models for k(O3) were dev ...

Bipolar Conductance Switching of Single Anthradithiophene Molecules

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Ivan Pentegov, Verena Katharina Schendel

Single molecular switches are basic device elements in organic electronics. The pentacene analogue anthradithiophene (ADT) shows a fully reversible binary switching between different adsorption conformations on a metallic surface accompanied by a charge tr ...

Self-consistent continuum solvation for optical absorption of complex molecular systems in solution

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Oliviero Andreussi

We introduce a new method to compute the optical absorption spectra of complex molecular systems in solution, based on the Liouville approach to time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory and the revised self-consistent continuum solvation model ...
