The fusion excitation function for the systems [Formula: see text]S+[Formula: see text]Zr is investigated using a microscopic internuclear potential derived from Skyrme energy density functional. The inputs in this approach are the proton and neutron density distributions of the interacting nuclei, which are derived from Skyrme–Hartree–Fock calculations. The SkM[Formula: see text] interaction is used in the calculation of the nuclear densities as well as the internuclear potential. The coupling to low lying inelastic excited states of target and projectile is considered. The role of the neutron transfer is discussed, where it is considered through the CCFULL model calculation. A good agreement with the experimental data is obtained without adjustable parameters.

Titanium dioxide in the anatase configuration plays an increasingly important role for photo(electro)catalytic applications due to its superior electronic properties when compared to rutile. In aqueous environments, the surface chemistry and energetic band positions upon contact with water determine charge-transfer processes over solid--solid or solid--electrolyte interfaces. Here, we study the interaction of anatase (001) and (101) surfaces with water and the resulting energetic alignment by means of hybrid density functional theory. While the alignment of band positions favours charge-transfer processes between the two facets for the pristine surfaces, we find the magnitude of this underlying driving force to crucially depend on water coverage and degree of dissociation. It can be largely alleviated for intermediate water coverages. Surface states and their passivation by dissociatively adsorbed water play an important role here. Our results suggest that anatase band positions can be controlled over a range of almost one eV via its surface chemistry.

Accelerated chemistry at the interface with water has received increasing attention. The mechanisms behind the enhanced reactivity On-Water are not yet clear. In this work we use a Langevin scheme in the spirit of second generation Car-Parrinello to accelerate the second-order density functional Tight-Binding (DFTB2) method in order to investigate the free energy of two Diels-Alder reaction On-Water: the cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene and ethyl cinnamate or thionocinnamate. The only difference between the reactants is the substitution of a carbonyl oxygen for a thiocarbonyl sulfur, making possible the distinction between them as strong and weak hydrogen-bond acceptors. We find a different mechanism for the reaction during the transition states and uncover the role of hydrogen bonds along with the reaction path. Our results suggest that acceleration of Diels-Alder reactions do not arise from an increased number of hydrogen bonds at the transition state and charge transfer plays a significant role. However, the presence of water and hydrogen-bonds is determinant for the catalysis of these reactions.

We have investigated the possible formation of charge transfer (CT) complexes of metallotetraphenylporphyrins (MTPhP with M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) and metallooctaethylporphyrins (MOEtP with M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) with the aromatic solvents, namely benzene, chlorobenzene, benzonitrile and toluene, respectively, in the tetrahydrofuran (THF) media. We have carried out energy minimization calculations of the hybrid systems (metalloporphyrins and aromatic solvents) in 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry in presence of THF media. We have analyzed the role of metal present in the metalloporphyrin in the formation of complexes for both 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry. Our analysis reveals that the MTPhP-solvent hybrid system is more stable compared to the MOEtP-solvent hybrid system.
