A brief introduction to the diffusion Monte Carlo method and the fixed-node approximation
Alfonso Annarelli, Dario Alfè, Andrea Zen
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods represent a powerful family of computational techniques for tackling complex quantum many-body problems and performing calculations of stationary…
An accurate and efficient framework for modelling the surface chemistry of ionic materials
Benjamin X. Shi, Andrew S. Rosen, Tobias Schäfer +4
Quantum-mechanical simulations can offer atomic-level insights into chemical processes on surfaces. This understanding is crucial for the rational design of new solid catalysts as…
Systematic discrepancies between reference methods for non-covalent interactions within the S66 dataset
Benjamin X. Shi, Flaviano Della Pia, Yasmine S. Al-Hamdani +3
The accurate treatment of non-covalent interactions is necessary to model a wide range of applications, from molecular crystals to surface catalysts to aqueous solutions and many m…
Basis set incompleteness errors in fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo calculations on non-covalent interactions
Kousuke Nakano, Benjamin X. Shi, Dario Alfè +1
Basis set incompleteness error (BSIE) is a common source of error in quantum chemistry (QC) calculations, but it has not been comprehensively studied in fixed-node Diffusion Monte…
On the increase of the melting temperature of water confined in one-dimensional nano-cavities
Flaviano Della Pia, Andrea Zen, Venkat Kapil +3
Water confined in nanoscale cavities plays a crucial role in everyday phenomena in geology and biology, as well as technological applications at the water-energy nexus. However, ev…
Cooperative CO capture via oxalate formation on metal-decorated graphene
Inioluwa Christianah Popoola, Benjamin Xu Shi, Fabian Berger +5
CO capture using carbon-based materials, particularly graphene and graphene-like materials, is a promising strategy to deal with CO emissions. However, significant gaps rem…
