나노입자의 특성과 기능은 bulk 물질과 달리, 나노 입자를 이루는 원소의 종류 뿐만아니라 크기와 모양에도 밀접한 연관이 있다. 이를 계산화학적으로 예측할 수 있다면 나노입자의 합성과 응용에 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 일정한 크기의 은 나노입자의 구조를 계산한 뒤, 바깥쪽의 두 원자 층을 무작위로 섞은 뒤 다시 구조최적화 계산을 거쳐 다양한 나노입자들의 구조를 찾았다. 이렇게 구해진 구조들의 에너지를 계산하고 원자를 하나 떼어낼 때의 에너지를 계산하여 응집 에너지를 구해 경향성을 분석해 보았다. 더 나아가, 나노입자를 이루는 각 원자 층의 개수가 하나 더 커질 때 필요한 에너지를 계산하여, 원자 하나당 평균을 내어 분석해보았다. 본 연구에서는 병렬화 된 밀도범함수이론 계산 프로그램을 이용해 100개가 넘는 입자의 계산이 가능하다는 것을 확인했고, 은 나노입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 원자 하나가 추가되는 경우와, 원자 층 하나가 추가되는 경우의 그래프를 보고 경향성을 분석하였다. 이는 다른 화학적 환경에 있는 은 원자의 에너지를 계산하여 각각의 환경에서의 은 나노 입자의 크기를 예측하는 계산하는 데 초석이 될 것이다.

The electronic structures and properties of layered perovskite $LaSrMnO_4$ and $SR^2MnO_4$ have been determined using the local-density full potential Imearized augmented plane wave method. The total energy calculations show that the antiterromagnetic state has lower energy than the ferromagnetic state in $LaSrMnO_4$. The jahn-Teller distortion of Mn-O octahedron produces the energy gap and the $3z^2-r^2$ orbital ordering, which stabilizes 2 dimensional antiferromagnetis state.

We compared methodologies based on the density functional theory (DFT), e.g., time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT), TD-DFT within Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA-DFT), and spin-unrestricted DFT (UDFT), that are usually employed to optimize the geometries of ${\pi}$-conjugated molecules in their lowest lying triplet excited ($T_1$) state. As a model system for ${\pi}$-conjugated molecules, we employed 1,2,3,4,5-pentacyano-6-phenyl-benzene. In conjunction with 6-31G(d) basis sets, we made use of gap-tuned range-separated ${\omega}B97X$ functional which is often employed recently in the calculations of molecular excited states. Near the equilibrium geometries, we found that the important difference between the geometries derived at UDFT level and those at TD-DFT or TDA-DFT methods: more stable ground-state energies but higher triplet excitation energies for UDFT derived geometries. In the studies, we discuss such differences in more detail.

Computational material science as an application of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to the discipline of material science has emerged and applied to the research and development of energy materials and electronic materials such as semiconductor. However, there are a few difficulties, such as generating input files for various types of materials in both the same calculating condition and appropriate parameters, which is essential in comparing results of DFT calculation in the right way. In this tutorial status report, we will introduce how to create crystal structures and to prepare input files automatically for the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) and Gaussian, the most popular DFT calculation programs. We anticipate this tutorial makes DFT calculation easier for the ones who are not experts on DFT programs.

In this study, we analyzed the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate dependant on the column depths using various absorbents such as zeolite silica sand, and activated carbon through the column test. In addition, we analyzed electrochemical adsorption behaviors of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate through the quantum mechanical calculation based on density functional theory calculation. Experimental results represent the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate are zeolite > activated carbon > silica sand, and activated carbon > zeolite > silica sand, respectively. Zeolite shows high adsorption property for ammonia nitrogen over 90%, regardless of the column depth, while activated carbon exhibits high adsorption property for both ammonia nitrogen and phosphate as the column depth for filter media increases. Theoretical findings using DFT calculation for the adsorption behaviors of adsorbents (activated carbon and silica sand) and nutrients ($PO_4{^{3-}}$, $NH_4{^{+}}$) show that activated carbon represented narrower HOMO-LUMO band gap with high adsorption energy, and even more favorable environment for electron adsorption than silica sand, which leads to the effective removal of nutrients.

The density functional theory (DFT) calculations on $(H_2O)_n@C_{60}$, (n=1-10) complexes have been performed to elucidate hydrogen interaction between fullerene and water clusters. The optimized geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and binding energies are predicted at various levels of theory. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for the molecules considered in this study show all real numbers implying true minima. We also compare the H-bond interaction between $(H_2O)_n$ and $(H_2O)_n@C_{60}$, (n=1-10) clusters.

The embedded atom method based on the density functional theory is used for calculating ground state properties of realistic metal systems. In this paper, we had corrected constitutive formulae and parameters on the palladium for the purpose of doing Embedded Atom Method analysis. And then we have computed the properties of the palladium on the fundamental scale of the atomic structure. In result, simulated ground state properties, such as the lattice constant, elastics constants and the sublimation energy, show good agreement with Daw's simulation data and with experimental data.

We search for an appropriate initial adsorption coordination of precursor on surface by using genetic algorithm (GA) and density functional theory. SiH₄ and Al(CH₃)₃ as precursor, and OH-terminated Si (001) as surface are used for this study. Selection, crossover, and mutation as hyperparameters of GA are applied to search for the adsorption coordination of the precursors on the surface as a function of generation. Bond distances between precursors and the surface are used to explain the adsorption behavior of the precursors.

The theoretical investigation has been performed to predict detonation velocity, detonation pressure, and thermodynamic stability of HMX/LLM-116 cocrystal. All possible geometries of HMX, LLM-116, and cocrystal have been optimized at the B3LYP/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The binding energy for the trigger bond and cluster has been calculated to predict the thermodynamic stability. The MP2 binding energies were obtained using single point energy calculation at the B3LYP optimized geometries, and the density has been calculated from monte carlo integration. The detonation velocity and detonation pressure have been calculated using Kamlet-Jacobs equation, while enthalpy has been predicted at the CBS-Q level of theory.
