Structural optimization, magnetic ground state and electronic structure calculations of tetragonal PbMnO3have been carried out using local density approximation (LDA) implementations of density functional theory (DFT). Structural optimizations were done on tetragonal P4mm (non-centrosymmetric) and P4/mmm (centrosymmetric) structures using experimental lattice parameters and our results indicate that P4mm is more stable than P4/mmm. In order to determine the stable magnetic ground state of PbMnO3, total energies for different magnetic configurations such as nonmagnetic (NM), ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) were computed for both P4mm and P4/mmm structures. The total energy results reveal that the FM non-centrosymmetric structure is found to be the most stable magnetic ground state. The electronic band structure, density of states (DOS) and the electron localization function (ELF) were calculated for the stable FM structure. ELF revealed the distorted non-centrosymmetric structure. The band structure and DOS for the majority spins of FM PbMnO3showed no band gap at the Fermi level. However, a gap opens up at the Fermi level in minority spin channel suggesting that it could be a half-metal and a potential spintronic candidate.

Sequences of even-tempered basis sets of atom-centered Gaussian-type functions are employed to explore the accuracy that can be achieved for the ground state energies of the H32+ and H43+ species in calculations using finite basis sets. These systems are considered as prototypes for the treatment of polyatomic molecules of arbitrary symmetry within the algebraic approximation. Keywords: algebraic approximation, basis sets, even-tempered, universal.

Virtual screenings can accelerate and reduce the cost of discovering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for their applications in gas storage, separation, and sensing. In molecular simulations of gas adsorption/diffusion in MOFs, the adsorbate-MOF electrostatic interaction is typically modeled by placing partial point charges on the atoms of the MOF. For the virtual screening of large libraries of MOFs, it is critical to develop computationally inexpensive methods to assign atomic partial charges to MOFs that accurately reproduce the electrostatic potential in their pores. Herein, we design and train a message passing neural network (MPNN) to predict the atomic partial charges on MOFs under a charge neutral constraint. A set of ca. 2,250 MOFs labeled with high-fidelity partial charges, derived from periodic electronic structure calculations, serves as training examples. In an end-to-end manner, from charge-labeled crystal graphs representing MOFs, our MPNN machine-learns features of the local bonding environments of the atoms and learns to predict partial atomic charges from these features. Our trained MPNN assigns high-fidelity partial point charges to MOFs with orders of magnitude lower computational cost than electronic structure calculations. To enhance the accuracy of virtual screenings of large libraries of MOFs for their adsorption-based applications, we make our trained MPNN model and MPNN-charge-assigned computation-ready, experimental MOF structures publicly available.<br>
