A unified formalism and its implementation is presented for Foster-Boys, fourth moment, Pipek-Mezey, and Edmiston-Ruedenberg type localization schemes of molecular orbitals through unitary optimization of the localizing transform matrix using a recently proposed algorithm [Abrudan; et al. Signal Processing 2009, 89, 1704]. A conjugate gradient algorithm is used with an efficient line search method. The option of using complex valued orbitals is included. Applications to fullerenes from C-20 to C-100, as well as benzene and arachic acid are presented, showing the capability of the method, which has been implemented in ERKALE, an open source program for electronic structure calculations of atoms and molecules.

Accurate Hellmann-Feynman forces from density functional calculations with augmented Gaussian basis sets

Shivesh Pathak, Ignacio Ema Lopez, Alex J. Lee, William P. Bricker, Rafael Lopez Fernandez, Susi Lehtola, Joshua A. Rackers

Summary: The HF theorem allows efficient force calculations for large systems using ML models for the electron density. However, the well-known Pulay force has hindered the general acceptance of the HF approach for atom-centered basis sets due to its significant error. This work demonstrates that by using an augmented Gaussian basis set for density functional calculations, the Pulay force can be suppressed and HF forces can be computed as accurately as analytical forces, enabling reliable geometry optimization and molecular dynamics simulations. These results provide a clear path for accurate and efficient simulation of large systems using ML densities and the HF theorem.

New Insights into the Volume Isotope Effect of Ice Ih from Polarizable Many-Body Potentials

Soroush Rash, Elvar Orn Jonsson, Hannes Jonsson, Jorg Meyer

Summary: This study calculates and analyzes the anomalous volume isotope effect of ice Ih, taking into account nuclear quantum effects in the Helmholtz free energy. The results show that the MB-pol potential function yields better agreement with experimental measurements than DFT calculations. The short-range three-body terms in the MB-pol function are found to have a significant influence on the results. A decomposition of vibrational modes and the use of benchmark values from Raman spectroscopy reveal the delicate competition between different modes as the reason for the volume isotope effect.

A general-purpose machine learning Pt interatomic potential for an accurate description of bulk, surfaces, and nanoparticles

Jan Kloppenburg, Livia B. Partay, Hannes Jonsson, Miguel A. Caro

Summary: A Gaussian approximation machine learning interatomic potential for platinum is developed based on density-functional theory (DFT) data. The potential exhibits excellent transferability and agreement with DFT in various properties such as bulk elasticity, surface energetics, and nanoparticle stability. It provides state-of-the-art accuracy at a low computational cost. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the potential's capability in modeling Pt systems: the pressure-temperature phase diagram of Pt calculated using nested sampling and a study of the spontaneous crystallization of a large Pt nanoparticle based on classical dynamics simulations over several nanoseconds.

Meta-GGA Density Functional Calculations on Atoms with Spherically Symmetric Densities in the Finite Element Formalism

Susi Lehtola

Summary: Density functional calculations on atoms are used to determine accurate initial guesses and generate various types of pseudopotential approximations and efficient atomic-orbital basis sets. This study describes the implementation of the spherical symmetric densities for density functional approximations (DFAs) and discusses the importance of density thresholding. The results show that all the functionals studied in this work yield total energies converged to 0.1 mu Eh when densities smaller than 10-11a0-3 are screened out.

Calculations of Excited Electronic States by Converging on Saddle Points Using Generalized Mode Following

Yorick L. A. Schmerwitz, Gianluca Levi, Hannes Jonsson

Summary: Excited electronic states are calculated by finding saddle points on the energy surface. This method has advantages in density functional calculations as it avoids collapse to the ground state and allows for variationally optimized orbitals. A mode following method is presented to find higher-order saddle points, allowing for calculations even at avoided crossings. Results are presented for charge transfer excitations and a diplatinum-silver complex, demonstrating the applicability of the method to larger molecules.

Accuracy of a Recent Regularized Nuclear Potential

Susi Lehtola

Summary: This study re-examines the determination of the regularized nuclear potential and finds errors in the original tabulations. Using a simple radial quadrature scheme, higher accuracy and normalization condition satisfaction can be achieved. Furthermore, the study shows that the regularized potential can accurately reproduce orbital energies and shapes even with small parameter values and can converge to sub-meV precision in specific cases.

Atomic Electronic Structure Calculations with Hermite Interpolating Polynomials

Susi Lehtola

Summary: This article describes the implementation of atomic electronic structure calculations using numerical radial basis functions within the finite element method. The stability of the calculation method at small r is discussed, as well as the choice of shape functions. The performance of different shape functions is compared, and it is found that first-order Hermite interpolating polynomials perform well even with large numbers of nodes and nonuniform element grids. The implications of Hermite interpolating polynomials on calculations with meta-GGA functionals are also discussed, and issues with Minnesota functionals are identified.

Stability of magnetic skyrmions: Systematic calculations of the effect of size from nanometer scale to microns

M. N. Potkina, I. S. Lobanov, H. Jonsson, V. M. Uzdin

Summary: The lifetime of a magnetic skyrmion in a two-dimensional lattice is investigated and found to increase with the size of the skyrmion. This is due to the decrease in entropy of the transition state compared to the skyrmion state, resulting in a significant increase in the pre-exponential factor, and the activation energy reaching an upper bound. The largest skyrmions studied include over 20,000,000 spins.

Is the doped MoS2 basal plane an efficient hydrogen evolution catalyst? Calculations of voltage-dependent activation energy

Sander o. Hanslin, Hannes Jonsson, Jaakko Akola

Summary: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are inexpensive and abundant alternatives to precious metals as catalyst materials. Experimental measurements show that MoS2 has significant electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the activity varies depending on the preparation method. To understand the mechanism and active sites for HER, calculations were performed on transition metal doped basal plane of MoS2 under electrochemical conditions, taking into account electrode potential and solvent effects.

Stability of hopfions in bulk magnets with competing exchange interactions

Moritz Sallermann, Hannes Jonsson, Stefan Bluegel

Summary: Magnetic hopfions are three-dimensional, string-like topological solitons with a Hopf number. They serve as a fundamental prototype for magnetic quasiparticles and have potential applications in spintronics. While their existence has been predicted in certain magnets, the physical realization of freely moving hopfions in bulk magnets has been challenging.

Orbital-optimized density functional calculations of molecular Rydberg excited states with real space grid representation and self-interaction correction

Alec E. Sigurdarson, Yorick L. A. Schmerwitz, Dagrun K. V. Tveiten, Gianluca Levi, Hannes Jonsson

Summary: In this study, density functional calculations were performed on several molecules to investigate their Rydberg excited states up to high energy. The results show that the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional of Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (PBE) can accurately predict the excitation energy when combined with self-interaction correction and complex-valued orbitals. The results from the Tao, Perdew, Staroverov, and Scuseria (TPSS) and r2SCAN meta-GGA functionals did not provide a systematic improvement over the uncorrected PBE functional.

Sulfur-deficient edges as active sites for hydrogen evolution on MoS2

Sander O. Hanslin, Hannes Jonsson, Jaakko Akola

Summary: This study employs a grand-canonical approach to calculate the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction on intrinsic sites of MoS2. The results reveal that certain edge configurations, particularly S-deficient edges on the Mo-termination, exhibit significantly higher activity. The findings suggest that catalyst design for transition metal dichalcogenides should focus on modifying the metal sites rather than activating the chalcogen sites.
