Plasmonic materials have optical cross sections that exceed by 10-fold their geometric sizes, making them uniquely suitable to convert light into electrical charges. Harvesting plasmon-generated hot carriers is of interest for the broad fields photovoltaics and photocatalysis; however, direct utilization limited ultrafast thermalization in metals. To prolong lifetime carriers, one can place acceptor materials, such as semiconductors, contact with plasmonic system. Herein, we report effect...
The development of new conductive polymers nowadays is one the most important technological areas in materials design. Computational investigation desired properties could save financial resources and time, but it to choose methodology that produces good results comparing experimental results. To verify prediction second hyperpolarizability (γ) oligomers Trans-Polyacetylene (TPA) by theoretical calculations, a series semi-empirical, Hartree-Fock (HF), Density Functional Theory (DFT)...
This work describes a viable hydrogen-induced sensitisation process toward stress corrosion cracking in chromia-forming nickel base alloys owing to oxidation by water. A mechanistic chemical understanding of the based on repeated and re-healing oxide scale emerges from experiment-guided first-principles calculations. Piggybacking processes during cracking-healing cycles are understood cause towards formation growth macroscopic cracks. Under light-water reactor conditions, healed comprises an...
We evaluate the qualitative and quantitative accuracy of various flavors density functionals with without accounting for dispersion corrections. Our test system is nickel in form bulk, surfaces, nanoparticles which we compute structural properties, bulk cohesive energies, surface work functions compare to experimental data. find that inclusion any dispersion, either by an a posteriori correction or self-consistent treatment explicitly computing nonlocal correlation contribution total energy,...
It has been suggested in the literature that keto-to-enol tautomerization plays a vital role for lignin fragmentation under mild conditions. On other hand, previous modelling shown adsorbed keto form is more stable than enol on Pd(111) catalyst. The current density functional theory study of model molecules shows that, gas-phase, enol, but Pd surface, we find conformers are at least as keto. This supports experimental result favourable reaction pathway depolymerization involves keto-enol...
Adsorbate induced work function modification of Ni have been investigated by means first-principles calculations. More specifically, the adsorption Li, Na, Si, Zr, Pd, Pt, or Sn at various coverages on low-index surface models considered. In case Sn, a more thorough investigation was performed comparing as an overlayer structure with alloy formation. Our calculations suggest that most stable [email protected] configuration corresponds to alloy, and here Ni(100)c(2 × 2)-Sn, Ni(110)c(2...
The development of new electroluminescence polymers for specific colour tuning in Polymer Light Emitting Devices (PLEDs) is currently one the most important fields organic electronics.

This work reports on the performance of density functional theory (DFT) for a series single and binary systems, aiming quantitative description $\mathrm{Ni}X$ ($X=\mathrm{C}$, Si, Ge, Sn) alloys. Both semilocal GGA meta-GGA functional, with without dispersion corrections, are tested. We found in our study that no simultaneously provides an accurate investigated structural energetic properties. However, spread computed DFT data could be rationalized terms distribution reduced gradients...
Organic semiconductors have unique molecular properties that hardly ever are found in biochemical macromolecules, as charge transport and planarity of polymeric chain. The first step to understand these is based on reliable geometric description systems, where semi-empirical methodologies can provide good results with low computational cost. In this study, PEDOT dimer rotational barrier was investigated by three (PM6, PM7 RM1) B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) DFT level theory, comparing experimental for...
The organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) have been attracting considerable interest due to low cost of production and their use in producing flexible electronic materials.
