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.

The nature of the m/z 104 ions formed by loss of CO2 or Ph-O-NCO from the molecular ions of phthalic anhydride, N-phenoxyphthalimide, and N-phenoxyisophthalimide was investigated by means of ion/molecule reactions with acetone. This allows a clear-cut differentiation of the so-obtained ions from the isomeric molecular ions of cyclopentadienylideneketene. The different intrinsic chemical reactivities of ionized cyclopentadienylideneketene and its distonoid isomer towards neutral acetone were investigated on a large-scale hybrid mass spectrometer and confirmed by density functional theory calculations.
