Open DOI
Defect organization in coexisting hexagonal and square lattices on ellipsoids
Curvature and topology jointly organize defects in two-dimensional crystals, but their combined role remains unresolved when competing lattice symmetries coexist with spatially varying curvature. We use simulated-annealing Langevin dynam...

runner 2.0 : A software suite for high-dimensional neural network potentials
We present runner 2.0, the “Ruhr University Neural Network energy representation,” a highly optimized software suite for training and evaluating high-dimensional neural network potentials (HDNNPs) of the second, third, and fourth generat...

Investigation of surface and subsurface defects of Cu(111) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy
Various types of surface defects are observed using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on a clean Cu(111) surface. Detailed STM images of defects show an asymmetric structure comprised of a bright protrusion inside a hexagonal depressio...

The std2 package: A computationally efficient program to calculate molecular response properties and excited states using simplified quantum chemistry methods
The std2 modular program package is dedicated to the computation of excited states and molecular response properties using simplified quantum chemistry approaches. The framework involves several variants of the simplified time-dependent ...

Growth mechanisms of body-centered cubic and quasi-crystalline Ta
Compared with the growth of periodic crystals, the growth of aperiodic quasi-crystals remains elusive in many respects, particularly regarding their underlying growth mechanisms. Here, we perform molecular dynamics simulations to investi...

Collective intermolecular Coulombic decay beyond Coulomb
Intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a widely spread phenomenon in nature and the laboratory in which the excess energy of a donor is utilized to ionize a nearby acceptor. If the excess energy is insufficiently large to enable ICD, tw...

The development of a high-accuracy, low-cost, numerical tensor method for the P states of three-particle systems
In this paper, we solve the non-relativistic many-body Schrödinger equation (SE) for the excited P states (L = 1) of three-particle systems with natural and unnatural parity. The exact separation of the rotational degrees of freedom from...

Elucidating the relationship between protein amide I, II, and III bands and secondary structures by localized anharmonic vibrational calculations
The amide I, II, and III spectra of the insulin dimer and ubiquitin were investigated using our recently developed localized, second-order vibrational quasi-degenerate perturbation theory (VQDPT2) combined with quantum mechanics/molecula...

Variational block-correlated coupled-cluster Monte Carlo
Motivated by the recent success of quantum neural states, we present a variational implementation of the coupled-cluster method suitable for quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We introduce a Young tableaux representation of the wave-functi...

Revisiting the visible B̃2A2 ← X̃2B1 spectrum of the phenoxy radical: Multireference energetics and finite-temperature Franck–Condon simulations
The visible B̃2A2 ← X̃2B1 absorption system of the phenoxy radical is characterized by a pronounced ∼500 cm−1 vibronic progression and broad, asymmetric band profiles. The assignment of the lowest-wavenumber component to the 0–0 band is ...
