Quantifying Electronic and Vibronic Contributions to Charge Transfer at the Nanoscale

Jessica Martinez, Eric Duverger, Michele Pavanello +1

Charge transfer (CT) is governed by complex multiscale dynamics sensitive to environmental factors. In molecules, charge state and vibrational effects shape energy levels, charge d…

Machine learning the two-electron reduced density matrix in molecules and condensed phases

Jessica A. Martinez B., Bhaskar Rana, Xuecheng Shao +2

Machine learning is rapidly accelerating materials and chemical discovery, but most current models target energies, forces, or selected molecular properties rather than the underly…

Pseudopotentials for Orbital-Free DFT: Capturing Nonlocality and Correcting Functional Approximants

Valeria Rios-Vargas, Ezekiel Oyeniyi, Xuecheng Shao +4

Developing reliable pseudopotentials for orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT), especially for transition metals, remains a significant challenge. In this study, we provi…

Density-Functionalized QM/MM Delivers Chemical Accuracy For Solvated Systems

Xin Chen, Jessica Martinez, Xuecheng Shao +4

We present a reformulation of QM/MM as a fully quantum mechanical theory of interacting subsystems, all treated at the level of density functional theory (DFT). For the MM subsyste…
