The present relativistic results significantly outperform the nonrelativistic results with only twonucleon forces. We demonstrate that both light nuclei and nuclear matter can be well described simultaneously in the relativistic ab initio calculations, even in the absence of three-nucleon forces, and a correlation between the properties of light A ≤ 4 nuclei and the nuclear saturation is revealed. This provides a quantitative understanding of the connection between the light nuclei and nuclear matter saturation properties.展开更多

Their relative energies calculated at B3LYP, MP3 and MP4 levels of theory indicated that two most stable conformers display the intramolecular OH - N hydrogen bonds. The vertical ionization energies of these conformers calculated with ab initio electron propagator theory in the P3/aug-cc-pVTZ approximation are in agreement with experimental data from photoelectron spectroscopy. Natural bond orbital analyses were used to explain the differences of IEs of the highest occupied molecular ortibal of conformers. Combined with statistical mechanics principles, conformational distributions at various temperatures are obtained and the temperature dependence of photoelectron spectra is interpreted.展开更多

Density functional theory calculations within the supercell model are first performed to op-timize the local structures of the charge-compensated Ce^3＋, based on which Ce-centered embedded clusters are constructed and wave function-based CASSCF/CASPT2/RASSI-SO calculations are carried out to obtain the energies of 4f1 and 5d1 levels. By comparing the calculated 4f→5d transition energies with experimental excitation spectra at low temper-atures, the lowest 4f→5d transition band peaked at 390 nm is assigned to the Ce^3＋ with charge compensation by two coordinating OF＇ substitutions, rather than to the Ce^3＋ with compensation by two VNa0 vacancies, as proposed earlier. The electronic reason for the large redshift （by -8000 cm-1） of the lowest 4f→5d transition as induced by the two nearby OF＇ substitutions is analyzed in terms of the changes in the centroid shift and crystal-field splitting.展开更多

The existing hydrogen bond and hyperconjugation effects on the stability of 2-chloroethanol conformers were discussed on the base of natural bond orbital analyses. The result exhibits that hyperconjugation is the main factor to determine the stability of conformers. Such effects on the electron wavefunctions of the highest-occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） of different conformers are demonstrated with electron momentum spectroscopy, exhibiting the obviously different symmetries of the HOMO wavefunctions in momentum space.展开更多

Then the related physical properties, such as structural stability, lattice constants, formation enthalpies, elastic constants and bulk moduli, are obtained by ab initio calculations. Based on the calculated results of formation enthalpies, the ground-state convex hull is derived for the Pt-Zr system. The calculated physical data would provide a basis for further thermodynamic calculations and atomistic simulations. For these Pt-Zr compounds, it is found there are a positive linear correlation between the formation enthalpies and atomic volumes, and a negative linear correlation between the bulk modules and atomic volumes.展开更多
