The structures and bonding of the CE42 clusters (E = Al, Ga, In, Tl) have been theoretically studied via B3LYP/def2-TZVP computations. Total energies were recalculated at the CCSD(T)/def2-TZVPP//B3LYP/def2-TZVP level in order to corroborate the energy differences. Our computations show that all the CE42 and CE4Li clusters (E = Al, Ga, In, Tl) have a planar tetracoordinate carbon structure. Interestingly, while the most stable form of CAl4Li and CGa4Li is planar with coordination of Li+ to an edge of the CE42 fragment, for CIn4Li and CTl4Li the pyramidal structures with C-4v symmetry are the lowest-energy structures.

Aufbau principle and singlet-triplet gap in spherical Hooke atoms

Xabier Telleria-Allika, Jesus M. Ugalde, Eduard Matito, Eloy Ramos-Cordoba, Mauricio Rodriguez-Mayorga, Xabier Lopez

Summary: In this study, the singlet and triplet spin state energies for three-dimensional Hooke atoms, specifically with an even number of electrons, were investigated using Full-CI and CASSCF wavefunctions and various basis sets. The screening effect of electron-electron interaction was also examined using a Yukawa-type potential. The results reveal that the ground state is a singlet for two and eight electron Hooke atoms, while it is a triplet for 4, 6, and 10-electron systems. This study provides insights into the energy components and effects of confinement and electron-electron interaction.

Few electron systems confined in Gaussian potential wells and connection to Hooke atoms

Xabier Telleria-Allika, Jose M. Mercero, Jesus M. Ugalde, Xabier Lopez, Jon M. Matxain

Summary: In this work, we computed and implemented one-body integrals for Gaussian confinement potentials and established an equivalence between Gaussian and Hooke atoms. We observed that both systems are equivalent for a series of even number of electrons at large confinement depths. Unlike harmonic potentials, Gaussian confinement potentials are dissociative and crucial for modeling phenomena like ionization.

Outstanding improvement in removing the delocalization error by global natural orbital functional

Juan Felipe Huan Lew-Yee, Mario Piris, Jorge M. del Campo

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of the recently proposed global natural orbital functional (GNOF) in addressing the charge delocalization error. GNOF achieves a good balance between static and dynamic electronic correlations, resulting in accurate total energies and preserved spin for systems with a highly multi-configurational character. Various analyses were conducted to assess the functional, including the charge distribution in super-systems of two fragments, stability of ionization potentials with increasing system size, and potential energy curves of a neutral and charged diatomic system. Results showed that GNOF effectively eliminates or improves the charge delocalization error in many studied systems, surpassing the previous results obtained with PNOF7.

Long-lasting XUV activation of helium nanodroplets for avalanche ionization

C. Medina, A. o Laegdsmand, L. Ben Ltaief, Z. Hoque, A. H. Roos, L. Jurkovicova, O. Hort, O. Finke, M. Albrecht, J. Nejdl, F. Stienkemeier, J. Andreasson, E. Klimesova, M. Krikunova, A. Heidenreich, M. Mudrich

Summary: We investigate the dynamics of avalanche ionization in pure helium nanodroplets activated by a weak extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulse and driven by an intense near-infrared (NIR) pulse. Short-term activation is caused by the injection of seed electrons into the droplets by XUV photoemission, while long-term activation is due to electrons remaining loosely bound to photoions, forming stable snowball structures in the droplets. These findings demonstrate that XUV irradiation can induce long-lasting changes in the optical properties of nanoparticles, potentially enabling control of avalanche-ionization phenomena in nanostructures and condensed-phase systems.

Summary: A comparative analysis was conducted on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films deposited via pneumatic spray pyrolysis and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The films were deposited on glass substrates at 460 degrees C with varying weight ratios of fluorine to tin. The analysis focused on the evolution of the film's characteristics and confirmed the presence of fluorine using resonant nuclear reaction and energy dispersive spectroscopy techniques. The findings suggest that the FTO film deposited through pneumatic spray pyrolysis with F/Sn = 0.50 exhibits the best properties for optoelectronic devices, particularly solar cells.

Marinella de Giovanetti, Sondre Hopen H. Eliasson, Abril C. Castro, Odile Eisenstein, Michele Cascella

Summary: Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study THF solutions containing LiCl and LiCl with CH3MgCl, as model compounds of the turbo Grignard reagent. LiCl aggregates as compact cubane-like Li4Cl4 structures, with an open-edge pseudotetrahedral frame promoted by solvent-assisted Li-Cl bond cleavage. LiCl prefers to coordinate MgCl2 through μ(2)-Cl bridges. The study identifies the role of LiCl in the determination of compounds present in turbo Grignard solutions.

Investigation of Ce-based buffer layers on electrochemical performance of YSZ-based symmetric solid oxide fuel cells

Chanchan Wang, Quan Yang, Yanzhi Ding, Xiaoyong Lu, Dong Tian

Summary: It has been found that the introduction of buffer layers improves the electrical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs). In this study, varying ratios of Gd-doped CeO2 were used as buffer layers in YSZ-based SSOFCs. The results demonstrate that the performance of SSOFCs is enhanced when a buffer layer is added, with the highest performance achieved using Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (GDC20) as the buffer layer. This suggests that the use of GDC series buffer layers is an attractive strategy to optimize performance loss due to electrolyte-electrode interactions.
