The energy of the two-dimensional electron–hole complex has been calculated in the framework of the density functional theory. We show that the energy of a direct two-dimensional exciton, without taking into consideration the exchange–correlation interaction, is very different from the exact value. We find that the number of particles in the indirect electron–hole complexes decreases with increasing interlayer distance in a strong magnetic field.

The properties of Heusler alloys of the Mn2ScZ family (Z = Al, Si, P, Ga, Ge, As, In, Sn, Sb) are investigated within the framework of the density functional theory. The PBE GGA and meta-GGA SCAN functionals were used for approximation of the exchange-correlation interactions. Calculations show that PBE does not predict ideal half-metallic behavior, unlike SCAN. It is shown that at Z = P, Si, a transition from the half-metallic state to the metallic one is observed. This effect can be used to develop tunable spintronic devices.

We analyze in depth two widely used definitions (from the theory of conditional probablity amplitudes and from the adiabatic connection formalism) of the exchange-correlation energy density and of the response potential of Kohn-Sham density functional theory. We introduce a local form of the coupling-constant-dependent Hohenberg-Kohn functional, showing that the difference between the two definitions is due to a corresponding local first-order term in the coupling constant, which disappears globally (when integrated over all space), but not locally. We also design an analytic representation for the response potential in the strong-coupling limit of density functional theory for a model single stretched bond.<br>

Electron-phonon interaction in the Si(111)-supported rectangular √(7 ) ×√3 phases of In is investigated within the density-functional theory and linear-response. For both single-layer and double-layer √(7 ) ×√3 structures, it...

AbstractCatechin – a natural polyphenol substance – has excellent antioxidant properties for the treatment of diseases, especially for cholesterol lowering. Catechin can reduce cholesterol content in micelles by forming insoluble precipitation with cholesterol, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. In this study, to better understand the molecular mechanism of catechin and cholesterol, we studied the interaction between typical catechins and cholesterol by the density functional theory. Results show that the adsorption energies between the four catechins and cholesterol are obviously stronger than that of cholesterol themselves, indicating that catechin has an advantage in reducing cholesterol micelle formation. Moreover, it is found that the molecular interactions of the complexes are mainly due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of the catechins as well as the hydrogen bond interactions. Unlike the intuitive understanding of a complex formed by hydrogen bond interaction, which is positively correlated with the number of hydrogen bonds, the most stable complexes (epicatechin–cholesterol or epigallocatechin–cholesterol) have only one but stronger hydrogen bond, due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of catechins.
