In this paper molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate energy and momentum transfer of hydrogen ions impacted on the Ni (100) surface with $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ incident angles. The initial kinetic energies of the hydrogen ion were ranged from 100 eV to 1,600 eV to study the layer-by-layer energy variation as a dependence of incident energies and angles. At low incident energies, the scattering energy transfer is dominated by the normal motion of surface layers due to thermal vibrations and multiple collision effects. For higher incident energies, the scattering energy transfer in a normal direction is greater than that in a parallel direction. In the case of penetration, the amount of transferred energies do not affect much on Ni layers at low incident energy. It was found channeling effects through Ni layers with increasing incident energies.

The stabilization energies by interconjugations at the transition states in various Diels-Alder reactions were calculated. It has been found that the stabilization energies are inversely proportional to resonance energies of isolated molecules of polyene and heterocyclic system before reactions. It has been noted that the resonance energies of dienes are smaller than those of dienophiles in two different molecules. Therefore, the possibility of charge-transfer from dienes to dienophiles is hinted.

Oribtal energies for AuH and AgH are calculated by an all-electron relativistic self-consistent-field method using Slater type basis functions. Major relativistic effects for AgH are spin-orbit splittings and those for AuH are large shifts in orbital energies in addition to spin-orbit splittings. Relativistic effects on orbital energies in AgH and AuH imply that changes in correlation energies for relativistic calculations of AuH will be significantly larger than those of AgH, providing partial explanation for the large discrepencies in equilibrium bond length and the dissociation energy between experiments and theoretical estimates for AuH. Large relativistic effects on orbital energies indicate that relativistic contributions should be included for the correct interpretation of ionization potentials for these molecules. Relativistic effects are also evident in dipole moments for these molecules.

The potential energies of HIV-1 protease, inhibitor, and their complex have been calculated by molecular mechanics and the "binding energy", defined as the difference between the potential energy of complex and the sum of potential energies of HIV-1 protease and its inhibitor, has been compared to the free energy in inhibition reaction. The trend in these binding energies seems to agree with that in free energies.

Computations are presented for the ortho- and para-substituted benzyl alcohol-$H_2O$ clusters. A variety of conformers are predicted, and their relative energies are compared. Binding energies of the clusters are computed, and detailed analysis is presented on the effects of substitution on the strength of the hydrogen bond in the clusters. F- and $NH_2-$ substituted clusters are studied to analyze the effects of electron-withdrawing and electron-pushing groups. In para-substituted clusters, the inductive effects are dominant, affecting the binding energies in opposite way depending on whether the hydroxyl group is proton-donating or -accepting. For ortho-substituted clusters, more direct involvement of the substituting group and the resulting geometry change of the hydrogen bond should be invoked to elucidate complicated pattern of the binding energy of the clusters.

In phtosynthetic light harvesting complexes, the electronic transition energies of chlorophylls are influenced by the Coulombic interaction with nearby molecules. Variation of the interactions caused by structural inhomogeneity in biological environment results in a distribution of disordered electronic transition energies of chlorophylls. In order to provide a practical guide to predict qualitative tendency of such distribution, we model four porphyrin derivatives including chlorophyll a molecule interacting with an external positive charge and calculate their transition energies using the time dependent density functional method. It is found that ${\pi}-{\pi}^*$ transition energies of the molecules are generally blue-shifted by the charge because this stabilizes occupied molecular orbitals to a greater extent than unoccupied ones. Furthermore, new transitions in the visible region emerge as a result of the red-shift in energy of an unoccupied Mg orbital and it is suggested that light-induced electron transfer may occur from the tetrapyrrole ring to the central magnesium when the molecules are interacting with a positive charge.

In an attempt to understand the nature of hyperthermal ion-surface collisions, noble gas ion beams (He+, Ne+, Ar+, and Xe+) are scattered from a Si(100) surface for collision energies of 20-300 eV and for 45°incidence angle. The scattered ions are mass-analyzed using a quadrupole mass spectrometer and their kinetic energy is measured in a time-of-flight mode. The scattering event for He+ and Ne+ can be approximated as a sequence of quasi-binary collisions with individual Si atoms for high collision energies (Ei > 100 eV), but it becomes of a many-body nature for lower energies, Ar+ and Xe+ ions undergo mutliple large impact parameter collisions with the surface atoms. The effective mass of a surface that these heavy ions experience during the collision increases drastically for low beam energies.

The solvent effects on the relative free energies of binding of K+ and Na+ ions to 12-crown-4 and Dlog Ks (the difference of stability constant of binding) have been investigated by a Monte Carlo simulation of statistical perturbation theory (SPT) in several solvents. Comparing the relative free energies of binding of K+ and Na+ ions to 12-crown-4, in CH3OH of this study with experimental works, there is a good agreement among the studies. We have reported here the quantitative solvent-polarity relationships (QSPR) studied on the solvent effects the relative free energies of binding of K+ and Na+ ions to 12-crown-4. We noted that DN(donor number) dominates the differences in relative solvation Gibbs free energies of K+ and Na+ ions and DN dominates the negative values in differences in the stability constant (Dlog Ks) as well as the relative free energies of binding of K+ and Na+ ions to 12-crown-4 and p* (Kamlet-Tafts solvatochromic parameters) dominates the positive values in differences in the stability constant (Dlog Ks) as well as the relative free energies of binding of K+ and Na+ ions to 12-crown-4.

The coherent interface energies and misfit strain energies of Fe/XN (X=Ti, Zr, Hf) systems were calculated by first principles method. The interface energies in Fe/TiN, Fe/ZrN and Fe/HfN systems were 0.343, 0.114, and 0.030 $J/m^2$, respectively. Influence of bond energy was estimated using the discrete lattice plane/nearest neighbor broken bond(DLP/NNBB) model. It was found that the dependence of interface energy on the type of nitride was closely related to changes of the bond energies between Fe, X and N atoms before and after formation of the Fe/XN interfaces. The misfit strain energies in Fe/TiN, Fe/ZrN, and Fe/HfN systems were 0.239, 1.229, and 0.955 eV per 16 atoms(Fe; 8 atoms and XN; 8 atoms). More misfit strain energy was generated as the difference of lattice parameters between the bulk Fe and the bulk XNs increased.

This paper describes an ab Initio study on interface energies, misfit strain energies, and electron structures at coherent interfaces Fe(bcc structure)/MCs(NaCl structure M=Ti, Zr, Hf). The interface energies at relaxed interfaces Fe/TiC, Fe/ZrC and Fe/HfC were 0.263, 0.153 and $0.271 J/m^2$, respectively. It was understood that the dependence of interface energy on the type of carbide was closely related to changes of the binding energies between Fe, M and C atoms before and after formation of the interfaces Fe/MCs with the help of the DLP/NNBB (Discrete Lattice Plane/ Nearest Neighbour Broken Bond) model and data of the electron structures. The misfit strain energies in Fe/TiC, Fe/ZrC and Fe/HfC systems were 0.390, 1.692 and 1.408 eV per 16 atoms(Fe: 8 atoms and MC; 8 atoms). More misfit energy was generated as difference of lattice parameters between the bulk Fe and the bulk MCs increased.
