AbstractThe magnitude of the dipole moment at the Si-SiO2 interface resulting from partial charge transfer that takes place upon the formation of interface bonds has been calculated. The charge transfer occurs because of the difference in electronegativity between silicon atoms and SiO2 molecules which are present across the interface. Results obtained for (100) and (111) silicon substrates indicate that the magnitude of the interface dipole moment is dependent on substrate orientation and the interface chemistry. Dipole moments at the Si-SiO2 and gate-SiO2 interfaces should be included in the definition of the flatband voltage VFB of MOS structures. CV-based measurements of the metal-semiconductor workfunction difference φms on (100) and (111) silicon oxidized in dry oxygen and metallized with Al agree with the predictions of this model. Other types of interface dipoles and their processing dependence are briefly discussed.

Partial atomic charges provide an intuitive and efficient way to describe the charge distribution and the resulting intermolecular electrostatic interactions in liquid water. Many charge models exist and it is unclear which model provides the best assignment of partial atomic charges in response to the local molecular environment. In this work, we systematically scrutinize various electronic structure methods and charge models (Mulliken, Natural Population Analysis, CHelpG, RESP, Hirshfeld, Iterative Hirshfeld, and Bader) by evaluating their performance in predicting the dipole moments of isolated water, water clusters, and liquid water as well as charge transfer in the water dimer and liquid water. Although none of the seven charge models is capable of fully capturing the dipole moment increase from isolated water (1.85 D) to liquid water (about 2.9 D), the Iterative Hirshfeld method performs best for liquid water, reproducing its experimental average molecular dipole moment, yielding a reasonable amount of intermolecular charge transfer, and showing modest sensitivity to the local water environment. The performance of the charge model is dependent on the choice of the density functional and the quantum treatment of the environment. The computed molecular dipole moment of water generally increases with the percentage of the exact Hartree-Fock exchange in the functional, whereas the amount of charge transfer between molecules decreases. For liquid water, including two full solvation shells of surrounding water molecules (within about 5.5 A of the central water) in the quantum-chemical calculation converges the charges of the central water molecule. Our final pragmatic quantum-chemical charge assigning protocol for liquid water is the Iterative Hirshfeld method with M06-HF/aug-cc-pVDZ and a quantum region cutoff radius of 5.5 A.<br>

Polarized electroabsorption (E-A) spectra of highly efficient porphyrin sensitizers (YD2 and YD2-oC8) have been measured in benzene solution. Polarized E-A spectra of these push–pull porphyrins embedded in poly(methyl methacrylate) films or sensitized on TiO 2 films are also observed. Based on the analysis of the E-A spectra, the magnitude of the electric dipole moment both in the ground state and in the lowest excited state have been evaluated in solution and in solid films. The electric dipole moment in the excited state of these compounds is very large on TiO 2 films, suggesting the interfacial charge transfer on TiO 2 surface following photoexcitation of porphyrin dyes. The electric dipole moment in the excited state evaluated from the E-A spectra is very different from the one evaluated from the electrophotoluminescence spectra on TiO 2, suggesting that the strong local field of TiO 2 films is applied to the fluorescing dyes attached to TiO 2 films.

Dipole moment measurements have been made for some aliphatic and aromatic amine picrates in dioxane solution. The fractional ionic character of these complexes in the ground state has been calculated from μN, the observed value of dipole moment; μ0, the vector sum of the moments of the components of the complex; μ1, the moment resulting from complete one-electron transfer; and known values of S, using the charge-transfer theory of Mulliken. For these complexes of the n + hσd type, the charge-transfer process lies in the direction of the symmetry axis N+O−, the picture corresponding to an energy of interaction U, versus charge-transfer co-ordinate (C) curve with a shallow minimum showing an inner complex corresponding to (C = 1), b = a2 or b2 > a2, and an activated complex (roughly between C = 0.3 to 0.5) corresponding to an intermediate.

Abstract 2-dimethylamino-9-fluorenol and 2-dimethylamino-9(4'dimethylamino)phenyl-9-fiuorenol in polar solvents in the excited state undergo conformation changes in which two fluorescent isomers are created. The isomers (in the local excited (LE) and charge transfer (CT) configuration) possess separate fluorescence bands, one appearing from the S1 (LE) state and the second from the intramolecular charge transfer state S1 (CT) of the neutral, aromatic molecule. Both bands show a solvatochromic effect. Using the method of the solvent induced Stokes shift of the absorption and fluorescence spectra the permanent dipole moment of the excited state of fluorene and its two derivatives have been determined. The dipole moment of the ground state and the Onsager cavity radius of the studied molecules were calculated with the Auestion Model 1 (AM1) program.
