Electronic Structure Calculations at Macroscopic Scales using Orbital-free DFT
In this chapter we provide an overview of the recently developed coarse-graining technique for orbital-free density functional theory that enables electronic structure calculations on multi-million atoms. The key ideas involved are: (i) a local real-space formulation of orbital-free density functional theory; (ii) a finite element discretization of the formulation; (iii) a systematic means of a...
متن کاملAPBSmem: A Graphical Interface for Electrostatic Calculations at the Membrane
Electrostatic forces are one of the primary determinants of molecular interactions. They help guide the folding of proteins, increase the binding of one protein to another and facilitate protein-DNA and protein-ligand binding. A popular method for computing the electrostatic properties of biological systems is to numerically solve the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation, and there are several easy-...
متن کاملStructure sensitivity of Cu and CuZn catalysts relevant to industrial methanol synthesis
For decades it has been debated whether the conversion of synthesis gas to methanol over copper catalysts is sensitive or insensitive to the structure of the copper surface. Here we have systematically investigated the effect of the copper particle size in the range where changes in surface structure occur, that is, below 10 nm, for catalysts with and without zinc promotor at industrially relev...
متن کاملCalculations of Mössbauer parameters in solids by DFT bandstructure calculations
A short introduction to periodic bandstructure methods suitable for the calculation of Mössbauer parameters is presented. These methods are based on density functional theory (because we want to treat big and complicated systems) and must be accurate not only in the bonding region (like pseudopotential approaches), but also near the atomic nuclei since Mössbauer parameters depend crucially on t...
متن کاملGraphene to graphite: electronic changes within DFT calculations
Calculations based on the first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave method and density-functional theory are performed to investigate the electronic properties of graphene, bilayer graphene, multilayer graphene, and graphite. From an analysis of the electronic band structure close to the Fermi level, we have quantified the gradual change in the Fermi surface topology from the point-like struc...
