State-selective spectroscopy of water up to its first dissociation limit

Oleg Boyarkine, Thomas Rizzo, Pavlo Maksyutenko, Maxim Grechko

A joint experimental and first-principles quantum chemical study of the vibration-rotation states of the water molecule up to its first dissociation limit is presented. Triple-resonance, quantum state selective spectroscopy is used to probe the entire ladd ...

Multiple-resonance spectroscopy of high vibrational levels in water and methanol

Pavlo Maksyutenko

We have measured the rovibrational levels in the electronic ground state of the water molecule at the previously inaccessible energies above 26000 cm-1. The use of laser double-resonance overtone excitation combined with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) ph ...

Empirical Corrections to Density Functional Theory Highlight the Importance of Nonbonded Intramolecular Interactions in Alkanes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Matthew Wodrich, Daniel Filipe Dos Santos Alves Jana

Energies of alkanes computed with many popular and even newer density functionals are flawed by systematic errors, which become considerable with larger molecules. The same energies, however, are well described by post-Hartree-Fock methods. Similar DFT sho ...

Solid oxide fuel cell stack simulation and optimization, including experimental validation and transient behavior

Diego Larrain

This thesis presents the development of models for the simulation and optimization of the design of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack. Fuel cells produce electric power directly from a fuel by electrochemical reactions. The high efficiencies demo ...
