Bond-based corrections to semi-empirical and ab initio electronic structure calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple, empirical, bond-based correction method improves the accuracy of several types of electronic structure calculations in predicting heats of formation. The optimal corrections for common types of bonds are determined by minimizing the deviations from experimental thermochemical data. The method is tested with the 223-species of the G3/99 test set of Curtiss et al. For the subset of 155 species containing only bonds in the set of 15 bonds for which corrections are made, the mean absolute error is reduced from 142 to 1.84 for LSDA, from 0.81 to 0.61 for G3, from 4.65 to 1.48 for B3LYP, from 5.54 to 1.94 for TPSS, and from 3.51 to 1.76 for TPSSh (all in kcal/mol). 2004 Elsevier B.V.

First Principles and Semi-empirical Calculations of Atomic and Electronic Structure for the (100) and (110) Perovskite Surfaces
We present and discuss results of the calculations for BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 surface relaxation with different terminations using a semi-empirical shell model (SM) as well as ab initio methods based on Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) formalisms. Using the SM, the positions of atoms in 16 near-surf ace layers placed atop a slab of rigid ions are optimized. This permits us deter...

The results of MNDO, AM1 and PM3 semi-empirical calculations and HF/6-31G*, MP/6-31G*, MP2/6-311+G**, and B3LYP/6-311G** and QCISD/6-31G* ab initio methods for angle strain and conjugation effects in twist-boat, boat, and half-chair geometries of (Z,Z,Z)-cycloocta-1,3,5-triene indicate that all methods, except PM3, predict wrong ordering of the conformations.

Abstract: In this work we investigate the electronic, optical, dynamic and thermoelectric properties of ternary copper-based Chalcogenides CuSbX2 (X= S, Se) compounds. Calculations are based on density functional theory and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Computations have been carried out by using Quantum-Espresso (PWSCF) package and ab-initio pseudo-potential technique. To estimate the e...

A new force field has been customized for the variation of polynorbornene that contains a bicycloheptane group in the backbone structure. The force field was developed from ab initio density functional theory (DFT), and semiempirical electronic structure calculations for both stereochemical dimers of the 2,3 exoexo isomer of polynorbornene. The bond length and bond angle parameters were determi...
