Experimental Stark broadening studies of the CI transition 3s 1 P 1o − 3p 1 S 0 at 833.5 nm
2011
AbstractExperimental Stark broadening studies of the infrared CI transition 3s 1 P 1o − 3p 1 S 0 at 833.5 nm are reported for the first time. A high-current wall-stabilized arc, operated in a mixture of helium, argon, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, was applied as the plasma source. Radiation emitted from homogeneous and optically thin plasma layers was analyzed. Stark broadening studies of the selected CI transition and the hydrogen Balmer β line were performed. As expected from theoretical considerations, the CI line width depends linearly on the electron density of the plasma. Applying theoretical Stark broadening data for the Hgb line, the measured Stark widths of the CI line were calibrat…

The electronic properties of an oxygen vacancy at ZrO2-terminated (001) surfaces of a cubic PbZrO3: computer simulations from the first principles
2008
Combining B3PW hybrid exchange-correlation functional within the density functional theory (DFT) and a supercell model, we calculated from the first principles the electronic structure of both ideal PbZrO(3) (001) surface (with ZrO(2)- and PbO-terminations) and a neutral oxygen vacancy also called the F center. The atomic relaxation and electronic density redistributions are discussed. Thermodynamic analysis of pure surfaces indicates that ZrO(2) termination is energetically more favorable than PbO-termination. The O vacancy on the ZrO(2)-surface attracts approximately 0.3 e (0.7 e in the bulk PbZrO(3)), while the remaining electron density from the missing O(2-) ion is localized mostly on …
Inter- and intramolecular bonding in 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene: An experimental and theoretical quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAI…
2017
Chemical bonding in the triclinic phase of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) has been analyzed based on the experimental electron density derived from X-ray diffraction data obtained at 20 K. The results have been compared with those from solid state theoretical calculations. The total electron density has been analyzed in terms of the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM). Features of the covalent bonds demonstrate the presence of multiple bonds of various order. Strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds and weaker intermolecular bonds within the layer structure are characterized by the properties of their (3, −1) critical points. Weaker interactions, predominantly O···O, betwe…
Hydrogen-Bond Cooperative Effects in Small Cyclic Water Clusters as Revealed by the Interacting Quantum Atoms Approach
2013
The cooperative effects of hydrogen bonding in small water clus- ters (H2O)n (n = 3-6) have been studied by using the partition of the electronic energy in accordance with the interact- ing quantum atoms (IQA) approach. The IQA energy splitting is comple- mented by a topological analysis of the electron density (1(r)) compliant with the quantum theory of atoms-in-mole- cules (QTAIM) and the calculation of electrostatic interactions by using one- and two-electron integrals, thereby avoiding convergence issues inherent to a multipolar expansion. The results show that the cooperative effects of hy- drogen bonding in small water clusters arise from a compromise between: 1) the deformation energ…
Theoretical Multipolar Atom Model Transfer in Nitro-Derivatives of N-Methylaniline
2014
The nitroanilines are an example of compounds in which the coexistence of electron-rich and electron-deficient substituents, connected through a conjugated π-electronic system, makes their molecular second-order hyperpolarizability and second-harmonic generation efficiency particularly high. This property makes them extremely interesting from the point of view of charge density distribution analysis. The electron density of three isomeric molecules, i.e., N-methyl-2-nitroaniline, N-methyl-3-nitroaniline, and N-methyl-4-nitroaniline, was calculated theoretically through the multipolar atom model transfer. Two types of refinement models, i.e., multipolar atom model (MAM) and independent atom …
Unravelling the strain-promoted [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of phenyl azide with cycloalkynes from the molecular electron density theory perspective
2020
The strain-promoted [3+2] cycloaddition (SP-32CA) reactions of phenyl azide with a series of five strained cycloalkynes C5–C9 have been studied within molecular electron density theory (MEDT) at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) computational level. These zwitterionic type SP-32CA reactions take place through a one-step mechanism, with activation enthalpies in acetonitrile between −4.2 and 19.9 kcal mol−1. An excellent linear correlation between the decrease in activation enthalpies and the ring size of this series of cycloalkynes can be established. The present study shows that the highly strained cycloalkynes C5 and C6 experience a different chemical reactivity than less strained cycloalkynes C7–C9,…
The adhesion nature of the Ag/MgO(100) interface: an ab initio study
1998
The atomic and electronic structure of the Ag/MgO(100) interface are calculated by means of the ab initio Hartree-Fock approach combined with a supercell model. The electronic density distribution and the interface binding energy/distance are analyzed for different Ag adsorption positions, slabs of different thicknesses and varying Ag surface coverage. It is demonstrated that the adhesion energy arises mainly due to the electrostatic interaction of substrate atoms with a complicated charge redistribution in the metal layer(s), characterized by large quadrupole moments as well as electron density redistribution towards bridge and hollow positions between the nearest and next-nearest Ag atoms…
