Excited States of Metal-Adsorbed Dimethyl Disulfide: A TDDFT Study with Cluster Model.

ABSTRACT: The optical near field refers to a localized light field near a surface that can induce photochemical phenomena such as dipole-forbidden transitions. Recently, the photodissociation of the S-S bond of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) was investigated using a scanning tunneling microscope with far- and near-field light. This reaction is thought to be initiated by the lowest-energy highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) transition of the DMDS molecule under far-field light. In near-field light, photodissociation proceeds at lower photon energies than in far-field light. To gain insight into the underlying mechanism, we theoretically investigated the excited states of DMDS adsorbed on Cu and Ag surfaces modeled by a tetrahedral 20-atom cluster. The frontier orbitals of the molecule were delocalized by the interaction with the metal, resulting in narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO gap energy. The excited-state distribution was analyzed using the Mulliken population analysis, decomposing molecular orbitals into metal and DMDS fragments. The excited states of the intra-DMDS transitions were found over a wider energy range, but at low energies, their oscillator strengths were negligible, which is consistent with the experimental results. Sparse modeling analysis showed that typical electronic transitions differed between the higher and lower excited states. If these low-lying excited states are efficiently excited by near-field light with different selection rules, the S-S bond dissociation reaction can proceed.

Effective Inclusion of Mechanical and Electrical Anharmonicity in Excited Electronic States: VPT2-TDDFT Route.

Project description:We present a reliable and cost-effective procedure for the inclusion of anharmonic effects in excited-state energies and spectroscopic intensities by means of second-order vibrational perturbation theory. This development is made possible thanks to a recent efficient implementation of excited-state analytic Hessians and properties within the time-dependent density functional theory framework. As illustrated in this work, by taking advantage of such algorithmic developments, it is possible to perform calculations of excited-state infrared spectra of medium-large isolated molecular systems, with anharmonicity effects included in both the energy and property surfaces. We also explore the use of this procedure for the inclusion of anharmonic effects in the simulation of vibronic bandshapes of electronic spectra and compare the results with previous, more approximate models.

Excited States from State-Specific Orbital-Optimized Pair Coupled Cluster.

Project description:The pair coupled cluster doubles (pCCD) method (where the excitation manifold is restricted to electron pairs) has a series of interesting features. Among others, it provides ground-state energies very close to what is obtained with doubly occupied configuration interaction (DOCI), but with a polynomial cost (compared with the exponential cost of the latter). Here, we address whether this similarity holds for excited states by exploring the symmetric dissociation of the linear H4 molecule. When ground-state Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals are employed, pCCD and DOCI excited-state energies do not match, a feature that is assigned to the poor HF reference. In contrast, by optimizing the orbitals at the pCCD level (oo-pCCD) specifically for each excited state, the discrepancies between pCCD and DOCI decrease by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude. Therefore, the pCCD and DOCI methodologies still provide comparable energies for excited states, but only if suitable, state-specific orbitals are adopted. We also assessed whether a pCCD approach could be used to directly target doubly excited states, without having to resort to the equation-of-motion (EOM) formalism. In our Δoo-pCCD model, excitation energies are extracted from the energy difference between separate oo-pCCD calculations for the ground state and the targeted excited state. For a set comprising the doubly excited states of CH+, BH, nitroxyl, nitrosomethane, and formaldehyde, we found that Δoo-pCCD provides quite accurate excitation energies, with root-mean-square deviations (with respect to full configuration interaction results) lower than those of CC3 and comparable to those of EOM-CCSDT, two methods with a much higher computational cost.

Gas-Phase Reactivity Studies of Small Molybdenum Cluster Ions with Dimethyl Disulfide.

Project description:Molybdenum sulfide is a potent hydrogen evolution catalyst, and is discussed as a replacement of platinum in large-scale electrochemical hydrogen production. To learn more about the elementary steps of MoS2 production by sputtering in the presence of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), the reactions of Mox +, x = 1-3, with DMDS are studied by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. A rich variety of products composed of molybdenum, sulfur, carbon and hydrogen was observed. MoxSy + species are formed in the first reaction step, together with products containing carbon and hydrogen. The calculations indicate that the strong Mo-S bonds are formed preferentially, followed by Mo-C bonds. Hydrogen is exclusively bound to carbon atoms, i.e. no insertion of a molybdenum atom into a C-H bond is observed. The reactions are efficient and highly exothermic, explaining the rich chemistry observed in the experiment.

Fundamental Properties of Metal-Adsorbed Silicene: A DFT Study.

Project description:Sodium, magnesium, and aluminum adatoms, which possess one, two, and three valence electrons, respectively, in terms of 3s, 3s2, and (3s2, 3p) orbitals, are very suitable for helping us understand adsorption-induced diverse phenomena. In this work, the revealing properties of metal (Na/Mg/Al)-adsorbed graphene systems are investigated by means of the first-principles method. The single- and double-sided chemisorption cases, the various adatom concentrations, the hollow/top/valley/bridge sites, and the buckled structures are taken into account. The hollow and valley adsorptions that correspond to the Na/Mg and Al cases, respectively, create extremely nonuniform environments. This leads to diverse orbital hybridizations in Na/Mg/Al-Si bonds, as indicated by the Na/Mg/Al-dominated bands, as well as the spatial charge density distributions and the orbital-projected density of states (DOS). Out of three types of metal-adatom adsorptions, the Al-adsorption configurations produce the strongest chemical modifications. The ferromagnetic configurations have been shown to survive only in specific Mg and Al adsorptions, but not in the Na cases. The presented theoretical predictions could be verified experimentally, and potential applications are discussed. Additionally, important similarities and differences with graphene-related systems are examined.

Equation-of-Motion Coupled-Cluster Cumulant Green's Function for Excited States and X-Ray Spectra.

Project description:Green's function methods provide a robust, general framework within many-body theory for treating electron correlation in both excited states and x-ray spectra. Conventional methods using the Dyson equation or the cumulant expansion are typically based on the GW self-energy approximation. In order to extend this approximation in molecular systems, a non-perturbative real-time coupled-cluster cumulant Green's function approach has been introduced, where the cumulant is obtained as the solution to a system of coupled first order, non-linear differential equations. This approach naturally includes non-linear corrections to conventional cumulant Green's function techniques where the cumulant is linear in the GW self-energy. The method yields the spectral function for the core Green's function, which is directly related to the x-ray photoemission spectra (XPS) of molecular systems. The approach also yields very good results for binding energies and satellite excitations. The x-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) is then calculated using a convolution of the core spectral function and an effective, one-body XAS. Here this approach is extended to include the full coupled-cluster-singles (CCS) core Green's function by including the complete form of the non-linear contributions to the cumulant as well as all single, double, and triple cluster excitations in the CC amplitude equations. This approach naturally builds in orthogonality and shake-up effects analogous to those in the Mahan-Noizeres-de Dominicis edge singularity corrections that enhance the XAS near the edge. The method is illustrated for the XPS and XAS of NH3.

Time-Resolved Excited-State Analysis of Molecular Electron Dynamics by TDDFT and Bethe-Salpeter Equation Formalisms.

Project description:In this work, a theoretical and computational set of tools to study and analyze time-resolved electron dynamics in molecules, under the influence of one or more external pulses, is presented. By coupling electronic-structure methods with the resolution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we developed and implemented the time-resolved induced density of the electronic wavepacket, the time-resolved formulation of the differential projection density of states (ΔPDOS), and of transition contribution map (TCM) to look at the single-electron orbital occupation and localization change in time. Moreover, to further quantify the possible charge transfer, we also defined the energy-integrated ΔPDOS and the fragment-projected TCM. We have used time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), as implemented in ADF software, and the Bethe-Salpeter equation, as provided by MolGW package, for the description of the electronic excited states. This suite of postprocessing tools also provides the time evolution of the electronic states of the system of interest. To illustrate the usefulness of these postprocessing tools, excited-state populations have been computed for HBDI (the chromophore of GFP) and DNQDI molecules interacting with a sequence of two pulses. Time-resolved descriptors have been applied to study the time-resolved electron dynamics of HBDI, DNQDI, LiCN (being a model system for dipole switching upon highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) electronic excitation), and Ag22. The computational analysis tools presented in this article can be employed to help the interpretation of fast and ultrafast spectroscopies on molecular, supramolecular, and composite systems.

Two fluid model in low energy excited states within spin-ice systems.

Project description:Excitations in magnetic structures of the so-called spin-ice materials generate two different peaks in the specific heat and anomalies in entropy in the temperature interval between 0 and 1 K. These points are due to the existence of two low-energy excited global states which seem to transit from a bosonic condensate towards a magnetic neutral plasma in a narrow temperature interval between 0.05 ≤ T ≤ 1 K. In this paper, we determine the characteristic features of two states and we analyze the possibilities of existence of a BEC state and its phase transition to the magnetic plasma state from a model of two magnetic charge fluids. From the structural analysis of the many-body excitation states, we obtain theoretical results about entropy and specific heat since these two key physical magnitudes announce the phase transitions. We give criteria for distinguishing if some of these phase transitions is of either first or second order.

Adsorbed States of Hydrogen on Platinum: A New Perspective.

Project description:The interaction of hydrogen with platinum is enormously important in many areas of catalysis. The most significant of these are in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), in which carbon-supported platinum is used to dissociate hydrogen gas at the anode. The nature of adsorbed hydrogen on platinum has been studied for many years on single-crystal surfaces, on high-surface area-platinum metal (Raney platinum and platinum black), and on supported catalysts. Many forms of vibrational spectroscopy have played a key role in these studies, however, there is still no clear consensus as to the assignment of the spectra. In this work, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and lattice dynamics were used to study a 1.1?nm nanoparticle, Pt44 H80 . The results were compared to new inelastic neutron scattering spectra of hydrogen on platinum black and of a carbon-supported platinum fuel cell catalyst and an assignment scheme that rationalises all previous data is proposed.

Combined TDDFT and AIM Insights into Photoinduced Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) Mechanism in Hydroxyl- and Amino-Anthraquinone Solution.

Project description:Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and atoms in molecules (AIM) theory are combined to study the photoinduced excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) dynamics for eight anthraquinones (AQs) derivatives in solution. The calculated absorption and emission spectra are consistent with the available experimental data, verifying the suitability of the theory selected. The systems with the excited-state exothermic proton transfer, such as 1-HAQ, 1,5-DHAQ and TFAQ, emit completely from transfer structure (T), while the reactions for those without ESIPT including 1,4-DHAQ and AAAQ appear to be endothermic. Three reaction properties of three systems (1,8-DHAQ, DCAQ and CAAQ) are between the exothermic and endothermic, sensitive to the solvent. Energy scanning shows that 1,4-DHAQ and AAAQ exhibit the higher ESIPT energy barriers compared to 1-HAQ, 1,5-DHAQ and TFAQ with the "barrierless" ESIPT process. The ESIPT process is facilitated by the strengthening of hydrogen bonds in excited state. With AIM theory, it is observed that the change in electrons density ρ(r) and potential energy density V(r) at BCP position between ground state and excited state are crucial factors to quantitatively elucidate the ESIPT.

Low-lying excited states in crystalline perylene.

Project description:Organic materials are promising candidates for advanced optoelectronics and are used in light-emitting diodes and photovoltaics. However, the underlying mechanisms allowing the formation of excited states responsible for device functionality, such as exciton generation and charge separation, are insufficiently understood. This is partly due to the wide range of existing crystalline polymorphs depending on sample preparation conditions. Here, we determine the linear optical response of thin-film single-crystal perylene samples of distinct polymorphs in transmission and reflection geometries. The sample quality allows for unprecedented high-resolution spectroscopy, which offers an ideal opportunity for judicious comparison between theory and experiment. Excellent agreement with first-principles calculations for the absorption based on the GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) approach of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) is obtained, from which a clear picture of the low-lying excitations in perylene emerges, including evidence of an exciton-polariton stopband, as well as an assessment of the commonly used Tamm-Dancoff approximation to the GW-BSE approach. Our findings on this well-controlled system can guide understanding and development of advanced molecular solids and functionalization for applications.
