Quantum plasmonics: from jellium models to ab initio calculations
Light-matter interaction in plasmonic nanostructures is often treated within the realm of classical optics. However, recent experimental findings show the need to go beyond the classical models to explain and predict the plasmonic response at the nanoscale. A prototypical system is a nanoparticle dimer, extensively studied using both classical and quantum prescriptions. However, only very recen...
متن کاملAB INITIO QUANTUM CHEMICAL STUDIES IN CTAB
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACS) are employed both as disinfectants for manual processing lines and surfaces in the food industry, and in human medicine area. QACS also cause cell death by protein denaturation . One of the QAC is cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) that appears to rapture the cell membrane. The primary site of action of CTAB has been suggested to be the lipid components...
متن کاملLarge-scale ab initio quantum chemical calculations on biological systems.
In this Account we describe recent advances in two ab initio electronic structure methods, localized perturbation approaches and density functional theory, that allow accurate calculations including electron correlation to be carried out for systems with hundreds of atoms. Application of these methods to large-scale modeling of biological systems is discussed. Localized perturbation methods are...
متن کاملRobust mixing for ab initio quantum mechanical calculations
We study the general problem of mixing for ab initio quantum mechanical problems. Guided by general mathematical principles and the underlying physics, we propose a multisecant form of Broyden’s second method for solving the self-consistent field equations of Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. The algorithm is robust, requires relatively little fine tuning, and appears to outperform the curre...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo for High Accuracy ab initio Calculations
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is among the most accurate ab initio Quantum Chemistry methods available. Furthermore, in stark contrast with comparable methods, it is trivially parallelizable, it requires only a negligible amount of memory, and it’s computational cost scales as only O(N^3). Unfortunately, as a stochastic method, it requires a sizeable number of state space evaluations. We have been ...
