Perspective: Treating electron over-delocalization with the DFT+U method.
Many people in the materials science and solid-state community are familiar with the acronym "DFT+U." For those less familiar, this technique uses ideas from model Hamiltonians that permit the description of both metals and insulators to address problems of electron over-delocalization in practical implementations of density functional theory (DFT). Exchange-correlation functionals in DFT are o...
متن کاملHow do electron localization functions describe π-electron delocalization?
Scalar fields provide an intuitive picture of chemical bonding. In particular, the electron localization function (ELF) has proven to be highly valuable in interpreting a broad range of bonding patterns. The discrimination between enhanced or reduced electron (de)localization within cyclic π-conjugated systems remains, however, challenging for ELF. In order to clearly distinguish between the lo...
متن کاملBayesian perspective over time
Thomas Bayes, the founder of Bayesian vision, entered the University of Edinburgh in 1719 to study logic and theology. Returning in 1722, he worked with his father in a small church. He also was a mathematician and in 1740 he made a novel discovery which he never published, but his friend Richard Price found it in his notes after his death in 1761, reedited it and published it. But until L...
متن کاملElectron Delocalization in Perylene Diimide Helicenes.
We report two new helicenes derived from the double fusion of an acene with two perylene diimide (PDI) subunits. These PDI-helicene homologs exhibit very different structural and electronic properties, despite differing by only a single ring in the link between the PDI units. The shorter inter-PDI link brings the two PDI subunits closer together, and this results in the collision of their respe...
متن کاملAromaticity , - electron delocalization , and ring currents *
The magnetic criterion of aromaticity is based on the ability of a cyclic system to support a ring current. If the ring current has the diatropic sense, the system is aromatic; if the sense is paratropic, the system is antiaromatic. Attribution of aromaticity ab initio therefore reduces to the calculation and visualization of induced current density. This can be achieved at modest computational...
