Equivariant representations for molecular Hamiltonians and N-center atomic-scale properties

Michele Ceriotti, Michael John Willatt, Jigyasa Nigam

Symmetry considerations are at the core of the major frameworks used to provide an effective mathematical representation of atomic configurations that is then used in machine-learning models to predict the properties associated with each structure. In most ...

Single molecule fluorescence and phosphorescence studies using a scanning tunneling microscope

Abhishek Grewal

This thesis investigates novel single-molecule luminescence phenomena at their inherent, sub-molecular length scale. The microscopic understanding of luminescence processes will be crucial for the continued improvement of organic optoelectronic and semicon ...

Mapping Orbital-Resolved Magnetism in Single Lanthanide Atoms

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha

Single lanthanide atoms and molecules are promising candidates for atomic data storage and quantum logic due to the long lifetime of their magnetic quantum states. Accessing and controlling these states through electrical transport requires precise knowled ...

Optimal radial basis for density-based atomic representations

Michele Ceriotti, Félix Benedito Clément Musil, Jigyasa Nigam, Sergey Pozdnyakov, Alexander Jan Goscinski

The input of almost every machine learning algorithm targeting the properties of matter at the atomic scale involves a transformation of the list of Cartesian atomic coordinates into a more symmetric representation. Many of the most popular representations ...

Building blocks for commodity augmented reality-based molecular visualization and modeling in web browsers

Luciano Andres Abriata

For years, immersive interfaces using virtual and augmented reality (AR) for molecular visualization and modeling have promised a revolution in the way how we teach, learn, communicate and work in chemistry, structural biology and related areas. However, m ...

Correlation between Optical Activity and the Helical Molecular Orbitals of Allene and Cumulenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear in disubstituted allenes and even-n cumulenes. Chiral molecules are optically active, but while these molecules are single-handed chiral, p-orbitals of both helicities are present. Here we computationally ex ...

Liquid Water through Density-Functional Molecular Dynamics: Plane-Wave vs Atomic-Orbital Basis Sets

Alfredo Pasquarello, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli

We determine and compare structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of liquid water at near ambient conditions through density-functional molecular dynamics simulations, when using either plane-wave or atomic-orbital basis sets. In both frameworks, t ...

Bosonic lasing and trapping of a dressed photon fluid in InGaN at room temperature

Munise Nevin Cobet

The generation of a quantum fluid of dressed photons at room temperature is experimentally demonstrated in an InGaN microcavity which is divided into two-and one-dimensional sections, resulting in single- and switchable multilevel coherent light emission. ...

Quantum molecular master equations

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, François Reuse, Klaus Maschke

We present the quantum master equations for midsize molecules in the presence of an external magnetic field. The Hamiltonian describing the dynamics of a molecule accounts for the molecular deformation and orientation properties, as well as for the electro ...

Relation of exact Gaussian basis methods to the dephasing representation: Theory and application to time-resolved electronic spectra

Jiri Vanicek, Miroslav Sulc

We recently showed that the dephasing representation (DR) provides an efficient tool for computing ultrafast electronic spectra and that further acceleration is possible with cellularization [M. Šulc and J. Vaníček, Mol. Phys. 110, 945 (2012)]. Here, we fo ...
