Free power dissipation from functional line integration

Brader, Joseph M. ; Schmidt, Matthias

In: Molecular Physics, 2015, vol. 113, no. 17-18, p. 2873–2880

Power functional theory provides an exact generalisation of equilibrium density functional theory to non-equilibrium systems undergoing Brownian many-body dynamics. Practical implementation of this variational approach demands knowledge of an excess (over ideal gas) dissipation functional. Using functional line integration (i.e. the operation inverse to functional differentiation), we obtain an...

On exchange coupling and bonding in the Gd2@C80 and Gd2@C79N endohedral dimetallo-fullerenes

Cimpoesu, Fanica ; Frecus, Bogdan ; Oprea, Corneliu I. ; Ramanantoanina, Harry ; Urland, Werner ; Daul, Claude

In: Molecular Physics, 2015, vol. 113, no. 13-14, p. 1712-1727

A series of computational experiments performed with various methods belonging to wave-function and density functional theories approaches the issue of bonding regime and exchange coupling in the title compounds. Gd₂@C₈₀ is computed with a very weak exchange coupling, the sign depending on the method, while Gd₂@C₇₉N has resulted with a strong coupling and ferromagnetic ground...

Controlled tautomeric switching in azonaphthols tuned by substituents on the phenyl ring

Antonov, Liudmil ; Deneva, Vera ; Simeonov, Svilen ; Kurteva, Vanya ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Shivachev, Boris ; Nikolova, Rositsa ; Savarese, Marika ; Adamo, Carlo

In: ChemPhysChem, 2015, vol. 16, no. 3, p. 649–657

A series of new tautomeric azonaphthols are synthesized and the possibilities for molecular switching are investigated using molecular spectroscopy, X-ray analysis and density functional theory quantum chemical calculations. Two opposite effects that influence switching are studied: attaching a piperidine sidearm, and adding substituents to the phenyl ring. On the one hand, the attached...

Theoretical studies on the electronic properties and the chemical bonding of transition metal complexes using dft and ligand field theory

Atanasov, Mihail ; Daul, Claude A.

In: Chimia, 2005, vol. 59, no. 7-8, p. 504-510

The research activity within our laboratory of computational chemistry at the University of Fribourg is presented. In this review, a brief outline of a recently proposed Ligand Field Density Functional Theory (LFDFT) model for single nuclear and its extension to dimer transition metal complexes is given. Applications of the model to dinuclear complexes are illustrated for the interpretation...

Modeling properties of molecules with open d-shells using density functional theory

Atanasov, Mihail ; Daul, Claude A.

In: Comptes Rendus Chimie, 2005, vol. 8(9-10), p. 1421-1433

An overview of the theory and applications of a recently proposed ligand-field density functional theory (LFDFT) is given. We describe a procedure based on DFT allowing to deduce the parameters of this non-empirical LF approach consisting of the following steps: (i) an average of configuration (AOC) DFT calculation, with equal occupancies of the d-orbitals is carried out (ii) with...

Calculation of spin-orbit coupling within the LFDFT: Applications to [NiX₄]²⁻ (X=F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻)

Atanasov, Mihail ; Rauzy, Cédrick ; Baettig, Pio ; Daul, Claude A.

In: International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 2005, vol. 102, p. 119-131

Spin-orbit coupling has been introduced into our newly developed ligand field density functional theory (LFDFT), using the zero-order regular approximation as implemented into the Amsterdam density functional (ADF) code. Application of the formalism to a series of NiX₄²⁻ (X=F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻) compounds shows the increasing importance of intra-ligand spin-orbit coupling across the F,...
