Density functional theory calculations reveal that the work function of Au supported on MgO(001) is substantially reduced because of an interfacial dipole moment formed at the Au/MgO interface.

Benzimidazole derivatives, especially 2-phenylbenzimidazole with various substituents on the C-5, C-2, and C-6 positions, are so important in pharmaceutical chemistry. Multiple linear regression was applied to predict the activity of 27 novel 2-phenylbenzimidazole derivatives as anticancer agents. At first, we effort to create a QSAR model for a selected series of novel 2-phenyl-benzimidazole with density functional theory and molecular docking descriptors. Then, we tried to investigate the nature of the interactions between 2-pheny-lbenzimidazole derivatives and the Estrogen Receptor by using the molecular docking method. Six descriptors of MATS4e, GATS5e, R6v, R1v+, dipole moment, and torsional free energy were selected for modelling. Due to docking results, increasing the binding energy, and decreasing the dipole moment could be increasing of inhibitor activity.

The enthalpy of four polymorphs of CaN has been scrutinized at 0 and 100 GPa using density functional theory calculations. It is shown that structures of diamagnetic calcium diazenide (Ca2N2) are preferred over the cubic ferromagnetic polymorph (CaN) postulated before, both at 0 and 100 GPa.

AbstractWe present a tensor-structured algorithm for efficient large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations by constructing a Tucker tensor basis that is adapted to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and localized in real-space. The proposed approach uses an additive separable approximation to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and an L1 localization technique to generate the 1-D localized functions that constitute the Tucker tensor basis. Numerical results show that the resulting Tucker tensor basis exhibits exponential convergence in the ground-state energy with increasing Tucker rank. Further, the proposed tensor-structured algorithm demonstrated sub-quadratic scaling with system-size for both systems with and without a gap, and involving many thousands of atoms. This reduced-order scaling has also resulted in the proposed approach outperforming plane-wave DFT implementation for systems beyond 2000 electrons.
