Strain-Dependent Wetting of Graphene
Darren Wayne Lim, Xavier R. Advincula, William C. Witt +3
Understanding how water wets graphene is critical for predicting and controlling its behaviour in nanofluidic, sensing, and energy applications. A key measure of wetting is the con…
Breaking the Air-Water Paradigm: Ion Behavior at Hydrophobic Solid-Water Interfaces
Xavier R. Advincula, Kara D. Fong, Yongkang Wang +4
Hydrophobic solid-water interfaces underpin processes in nanofluidics, electrochemistry, and energy technologies. Microscopic insights into these systems are often inferred from ou…
A foundation model for atomistic materials chemistry
Ilyes Batatia, Philipp Benner, Yuan Chiang +85
Atomistic simulations of matter, especially those that leverage first-principles (ab initio) electronic structure theory, provide a microscopic view of the world, underpinning much…
Reproducibility of fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo across diverse community codes: The case of water-methane dimer
Flaviano Della Pia, Benjamin X. Shi, Yasmine S. Al-Hamdani +30
Fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) is a widely-trusted many-body method for solving the Schrödinger equation, known for its reliable predictions of material and mol…
Towards Routine Condensed Phase Simulations with Delta-Learned Coupled Cluster Accuracy: Application to Liquid Water
Niamh O'Neill, Benjamin X. Shi, William Baldwin +5
Simulating liquid water to an accuracy that matches its wealth of available experimental data requires both precise electronic structure methods and reliable sampling of nuclear (q…
How reactive is water at the nanoscale and how to control it?
Xavier R. Advincula, Yair Litman, Kara D. Fong +3
Nanoconfined water plays a key role in nanofluidics, electrochemistry, and catalysis, yet its reactivity remains a matter of debate. Prior studies have reported both enhanced and s…
