Electronic Structure of TlBa2CaCu2O(7-Delta)

The core levels of TlBa2CaCu2O(7-delta) (Tl-1212) epitaxial films have been measured with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The valence electronic structure has been determined using the full-potential linear muffin-tin-orbital band-structure method and measured with XPS. The calculations show that a van Hove singularity (VHS) lies above the Fermi level (E(sub F)) for the stoichiometric compound (delta = 0.5), while for 50% oxygen vacancies in the Tl-O layer (delta = 0.5) E(sub F) is in close proximity to the VHS. Samples annealed in nitrogen (to reduce the hole overdoping by the removal of oxygen) exhibit higher core-level binding energies and a higher T(sub c), consistent with a shift of E(sub F) closer to the VHS. Comparisons are made to the core levels and valence bands of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O(8 + delta)(Tl-2212) and HgBa2CaCu2O)6 + delta) (Hg- 1212). The similarity of the Cu 2p(sub 3/2) spectra for Tl-1212 and Tl-2212 indicates that the number of Tl-O layers has little effect on the Cu-O bonding. However, the Tl-1212 and Hg-1212 Cu 2p(sub 3/2) signals exhibit differences which suggest that the replacement of T(sup 3+) with Hg(sup 2+) results in a decrease in the O 2p right arrow Cu 3d charge-transfer energy and differences in the probabilities of planar vs apical oxygen charge transfer and/or Zhang-Rice singlet-state formation. Differences between the Tl-1212 and the Tl-2212 and Hg-1212 measured valence bands are consistent with the calculated Cu 3d and (Tl,Hg) 6s/5d partial densities of states.

Electronic structure of the honeycomb iridate Cu 2 ⁢IrO 3 at high pressure

Cu 2 IrO 3 has attracted recent interest due to its proximity to the Kitaev quantum spin liquid state and the complex structural response observed at high pressures. We use x-ray spectroscopy and scattering as well as electrical transport techniques to unveil the electronic structure of Cu 2 IrO 3 at ambient and high pressures. Despite featuring a Ir 4+ J eff = 1/2 state at ambient pressure, Ir L 3 -edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering reveals broadened electronic excitations that point to the importance of Ir 5d-Cu 3d interaction. High pressure first drives an Ir-Ir dimer state with collapsed < L · S > and < L z >/< S z >, signaling the formation of 5d molecular orbitals. A novel Cu → Ir charge transfer is observed above 30 GPa at low temperatures, leading to an approximate Ir 3+ and Cu 1.5+ valence, with persistent insulating electrical transport seemingly driven by charge segregation of Cu 1+ /Cu 2+ ions into distinct sites. Concomitant x-ray spectroscopy and diffraction measurements through different thermodynamic paths demonstrate a strong electron-lattice coupling, with J eff = 1/2 and Ir 3+ /Cu 1.5+ electronic states occurring only in phases 1 and 5, respectively. Remarkably, the charge-transfer state can only be reached if Cu 2 IrO 3 is pressurized at low temperature, suggesting that phonons play an important role in the inhibiting this phase. Furthermore, these results point to the choice of thermodynamic path across interplanar collapse transition as a key parameter to access novel states in intercalated iridates.

Unveiling the electronic structure and chemical bonding of the deprotonated cisplatin anion [(NH 3 )(NH 2 )PtCl 2 ] − via low-temperature photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations

The dehydrogenated cisplatin anion, [(NH 3 )(NH 2 )PtCl 2 ] − , was investigated via low-temperature photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Seven and four spectral peaks are respectively resolved at 193 and 266 nm, yielding rich electronic structure information for both the anion and neutral. From the threshold and maximum of the lowest electron binding energy band, the experimental adiabatic (ADE) and vertical detachment energies (VDE) are determined to be 3.3 ± 0.1 and 3.525 ± 0.025 eV, respectively. Theoretical calculations indicate the dominant isomer adopting a cis-geometry, in which the platinum center is coplanar with two chlorine and two nitrogen ligands. The calculated VDE of 3.54 eV based on this structure agrees well with the experimental value. Charge analyses reveal that the excess electron in the anion is primarily localized on the Pt and Cl atoms. A suite of theoretical analysis tools was employed to elucidate the bonding characteristics and interaction strength between Pt and its ligands.

Beyond real: alternative unitary cluster Jastrow models for molecular electronic structure calculations on near-term quantum computers

Near-term quantum devices require wavefunction ansätze that are expressive while also of shallow circuit depth in order to both accurately and efficiently simulate molecular electronic structure. While the unitary coupled cluster ansatz (e.g., UCCSD) has become a standard, the high gate count associated with the implementation of this limits its feasibility on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware. k -Fold unitary cluster Jastrow (uCJ) ansätze mitigate this challenge by providing O( kN 2 ) circuit scaling and favorable linear depth circuit implementation. Previous work has focused on the real orbitalrotation (Re-uCJ) variant of uCJ, which allows an exact (Trotter-free) implementation. Here we extend and generalize the k -fold uCJ framework by introducing two new variants, Im-uCJ and g-uCJ, which incorporate imaginary and fully complex orbital rotation operators, respectively. Similar to Re-uCJ, both of the new variants achieve quadratic gate-count scaling. Our results focus on the simplest k = 1 model, and show that the uCJ models frequently maintain energy errors within chemical accuracy (∼1 kcal mol −1 ). Both g-uCJ and Im-uCJ are more expressive in terms of capturing electron correlation and are also more accurate than the earlier Re-uCJ ansatz. We further show that Im-uCJ and g-uCJ circuits can also be implemented exactly, without any Trotter decomposition. Numerical tests using k = 1 on H 2 , H 3 + , Be 2 , C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 6 and C 6 H 6 in various basis sets confirm the practical feasibility of these shallow Jastrow-based ansätze for applications on near-term quantum hardware.

Structural, electronic, and optical-absorption properties of 2D Si thin films

Recent experimental studies highlighted the potential of thin-film crystalline silicon (Si) for high-efficiency solar cells. Using density functional theory, we investigated 2D Si thin films across various orientations, thicknesses, and surface structures to elucidate their structure–property relationships. Through surface-energy calculations and Wulff construction, we determined the crystal habit of Si, which aligns with available experimental observations. Electronic-structure calculations underscored the critical role of valence saturation on surfaces in enabling semiconducting behavior in Si thin films, essential for optical applications. From optical-absorption calculations, we identified the surface index exhibiting the highest absorption coefficients for thin films Si solar cell applications.

Impurity effects on local electronic structure of twisted bilayer cuprates

It has been recently proposed that a fully gapped d-wave superconducting phase emerges in twisted bilayer cuprates when twist angle is in the vicinity of 45°. By considering a twisted bilayer model with a moiré cell, we study the local electronic structure around a single-site impurity and impurity dimer in both topologically trivial and nontrivial superconducting states. Here we find that the topological nontrivial superconducting phase is robust against single scalar-potential impurity scattering but is very sensitive to the interlayer impurity dimer scattering, which avoids and enforces the creation of the subgap quasiparticle state. This behavior is intrinsic to the bilayer structure and topological nature, in contrast to the other types of impurities that inevitably bring subgap quasiparticle states. We expect that our results can contribute to the understanding of electronic properties of twisted bilayer cuprates systems.

Electronic structures and pseudogap nature of the strongly correlated Kondo semimetals and insulators CeNiSn and CeRhX(X=As, Sb)

Employing temperature (T)-dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) near the Ce 4d absorption edge, we have investigated the electronic structures of the strongly correlated Kondo insulators (KIs) and/or Kondo semimetals of CeNiSn and CeRhX (X=As, Sb), which also belong to potential topological KIs (TKIs). Good agreement is found between the Fermi surfaces (FSs) measured at the Ce 4d→4f on resonance and those calculated and unfolded into the Ce-only Brillouin zone, supporting the crucial Ce 4f contribution to the Fermi-edge states in them. While the FSs of CeRhSb and CeNiSn are similar to each other, they are quite different from those of CeRhAs, which is understood to originate from the semimetallic Kondo ground states of CeNiSn and CeRhSb in contrast to the insulating Kondo ground state of CeRhAs. T-dependent ARPES demonstrates the existence of the Kondo resonance above the Fermi level (EF) and its T-driven decoherence in CeNiSn and CeRhSb, and the existence of the Ce 4f Kondo-like peak well below EF with a pseudogap in CeRhAs. With increasing T, the tail of the Kondo resonance in CeNiSn and CeRhSb loses its coherence, whereas the Ce 4f Kondo-like peak in CeRhAs persists up to T≥200 K. The Kondo temperatures (TKs) are estimated via the analysis of T-dependent ARPES, yielding TK≈80 K (CeNiSn), TK≈180 K (CeRhSb), and TK≫200 K (CeRhAs). High-resolution, low-T ARPES confirms the Kondo resonance just above EF in CeNiSn and CeRhSb Kondo semimetals and the KI ground state of CeRhAs with a pseudogap of Δ≈30 meV, demonstrating the importance of the coherent Kondo states in determining their potential topological properties. The differences in the T-dependent ARPES of CeNiSn and CeRhSb suggest the weaker f-c hybridization in CeNiSn than in CeRhSb (c: conduction electron), which is likely due to the more localized Ni 3d orbitals than the delocalized Rh 4d orbitals. The differences between the T-dependent ARPES of CeNiSn/CeRhSb Kondo semimetals and those of CeRhAs Kondo insulator are likely due to the smaller volume of CeRhAs than those of CeNiSn/CeRhSb.

Elucidating the geometric and electronic structure of a fully sulfided analog of an Anderson polyoxomolybdate cluster

The catalytic activity of transition metal sulfide (TMS) clusters in small molecule activation, redox transformations, and charge transfer has inspired the design of novel TMS-based materials for energy-related catalysis and chemical applications. Polyoxometalates (POMs), known for their structural diversity, can in principle be transformed into TMS clusters; however, fully sulfided analogs are rarely isolated, likely due to the strong tendency of uncapped TMS clusters to agglomerate. Here, we report the geometric and electronic structure of a capping ligand-free fully sulfided analog of heptamolybdate Anderson POM [Mo VI 7 O 24 ] 6− , synthesized through the sulfidation of a nanoconfined POM secured within a porous Zr-metal organic framework (NU-1000). A combined computational and experimental analysis indicates that the sulfided counterpart of the Anderson POM is geometrically and electronically more sophisticated than the parent POM. Comparison of experimental pair distribution function (PDF) data with computational simulations confirms that, unlike the oxygen-only [Mo VI 7 O 24 ] 6− cluster, the [Mo IV 7 (μ 3 -S) 6 (μ 2 -SH) 6 (S 2 ) 6 ] 2− polythiometalate (PTM) exhibits diverse sulfur anions (S 2− , HS − , S 2 2− ). DFT calculations indicate that H 2 S acts as a reducing agent, and together with terminal disulfide (S 2 2− ) ligands in the PTM structure, facilitates the complete reduction of all seven Mo VI centers in the parent POM to Mo IV . These findings are supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which confirms exclusive Mo IV , and elemental analysis, which shows quantitative sulfur incorporation. Difference envelope density (DED) mapping further reveals that the PTM clusters are spatially confined within the MOF pores, preventing agglomeration and preserving molecular integrity.

Dissipative ground state preparation in ab initio electronic structure theory

Dissipative engineering is a powerful tool for quantum state preparation, and has drawn significant attention in quantum algorithms and quantum many-body physics in recent years. In this work, we introduce a novel approach using the Lindblad dynamics to efficiently prepare the ground state for general ab initio electronic structure problems on quantum computers, without variational parameters. These problems often involve Hamiltonians that lack geometric locality or sparsity structures, which we address by proposing two generic types of jump operators for the Lindblad dynamics. Type-I jump operators break the particle number symmetry and should be simulated in the Fock space. Type-II jump operators preserves the particle number symmetry and can be simulated more efficiently in the full configuration interaction space. For both types of jump operators, we prove that in a simplified Hartree-Fock framework, the spectral gap of our Lindbladian is lower bounded by a universal constant. For physical observables such as energy and reduced density matrices, the convergence rate of our Lindblad dynamics with Type-I jump operators remains universal, while the convergence rate with Type-II jump operators only depends on coarse grained information such as the number of orbitals and the number of electrons. To validate our approach, we employ a Monte Carlo trajectory-based algorithm for simulating the Lindblad dynamics for full ab initio Hamiltonians, demonstrating its effectiveness on molecular systems amenable to exact wavefunction treatment.

WFOT: A Wave Function Overlap Tool between Single- and Multi-Reference Electronic Structure Methods for Spectroscopy Simulation

We report the development of a novel diagnostic tool, named wave function overlap tool (WFOT), designed to evaluate the overlap between wave functions computed at single-reference [i.e., time-dependent density functional theory or configuration interaction singles (CIS)] and multireference (i.e., CASSCF/CASPT2) electronic structure levels of theory. It relies on truncating the single- and multireference WFs to CIS-like expansions spanning the same configurational space and maximizing the molecular orbital overlap by means of a unitary transformation. To demonstrate the functionality of the tool, we calculate the transient spectrum of acetylacetone by evaluating excited state absorption signals with multireference quality on top of single-reference on-the-fly dynamics simulations. Semiautomatic spectra generation is facilitated by interfacing the tool with the COBRAMM package, which also allows one to use WFOT with several quantum chemistry codes such as Gaussian, NWChem, and OpenMolcas. Finally, other exciting possibilities for the utilization of the code beyond the simulation of transient absorption spectroscopy are eventually discussed.

First-Principles Studies on Sc 2 RuZ (Z = Si, Ge, Sn) Inverse Heusler Alloys: Structural, Electronic, and Transport Properties

The continuous demand for efficient, nontoxic, and thermally stable materials for room-temperature energy conversion motivates the exploration of novel thermoelectric systems beyond the traditional magnetic Heusler alloys. While full and half-Heusler compounds, especially Co-, Ni-, and Mn-based systems, have demonstrated promising thermoelectric properties, their typically high operating temperatures and magnetic complexities limit their applicability in ambient thermal management. In this context, we investigate whether Sc-based inverse Heusler alloys can offer a viable nonmagnetic alternative with competitive thermoelectric performance. In this work, we perform a systematic first-principles study of the inverse Heusler compounds Sc 2 RuZ (Z = Si, Ge, Sn), focusing on their structural, electronic, mechanical, and thermodynamic-thermoelectric properties. Density Functional Theory (DFT) was employed to compute optimized lattice structures and band dispersion, while dynamical stability was assessed via phonon calculations. Thermoelectric transport coefficients, including Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, were estimated using the semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory within the constant relaxation time approximation. Our results show that all Sc 2 RuZ compounds are thermodynamically stable semiconductors with indirect band gaps of 0.12–0.16 eV and exhibit high elastic moduli, especially Sc 2 RuSn, which demonstrates superior stiffness and incompressibility. Importantly, all compounds display promising room-temperature thermoelectric characteristics, including high Seebeck coefficients and power factors. These findings reveal that Sc 2 RuZ alloys represent a rare class of stable, nonmagnetic inverse Heusler semiconductors with intrinsic thermoelectric potential at room temperature, unlike many existing Heusler systems optimized for spintronics or high-temperature operation. This work expands the known design space for Heusler-based thermoelectrics and offers a theoretical basis for experimental realization of efficient, low-temperature, nonmagnetic thermoelectric materials.

Importance of Electron Correlation on the Geometry and Electronic Structure of [2Fe–2S] Systems: A Benchmark Study of the [Fe 2 S 2 (SCH 3 ) 4 ] 2–,3–,4– , [Fe 2 S 2 (SCys) 4 ] 2– , [Fe 2 S 2 (S- p -tol) 4 ] 2– , and [Fe 2 S 2 (S- o -xyl) 4 ] 2– Complexes

Iron–sulfur clusters are crucial for biological electron transport and catalysis. Obtaining accurate geometries, energetics, manifolds of their excited electronic states, and reduction energies is important to understand their role in these processes. Here, using a [2Fe–2S] model complex with Fe II and Fe III oxidation states, which leads to different charges, i.e., [Fe 2 S 2 (SMe) 4 ] 2–,3–,4– , we benchmarked a variety of computational methodologies ranging from density functional theory (DFT) to post-Hartree–Fock methods, including complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF), multireference configuration interaction, the second-order N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2), and the linearized integrand approximation of adiabatic connection (AC0) approaches. Additionally, we studied three experimentally well-characterized complexes, [Fe 2 S 2 (SCys) 4 ] 2– , [Fe 2 S 2 (S-o-tol) 4 ] 2– , and [Fe 2 S 2 (S-o-xyl) 4 ] 2– , via DFT methods. We conclude that the dynamic electron correlation is important for accurately predicting the geometry of these complexes. Broken symmetry (BS) DFT correctly predicts experimental geometries of low-spin multiplicity, while CASSCF does not. However, BS-DFT significantly overestimates the difference between the low- and high-spin electronic states for a given oxidation state. At the same time, CASSCF underestimates it but provides relative energies closer to the reference NEVPT2 results. Finally, AC0 provides energetics of NEVPT2 quality with the additional advantage of being able to use large CASSCF sizes. NEVPT2 gives the best estimates of the Fe III /Fe III → Fe II /Fe III (4.27 eV) and Fe II /F III → Fe II /F II (7.72 eV) reduction energies. The results provide insight into the electronic structure of these complexes and assist in the understanding of their physical properties.

Electronic structure complexity and extremely large magnetoresistance in antiferromagnetic semimetal SmAgSb 2

SmAgSb 2 , a layered magnetic semimetal in the tetragonal 𝑅⁢𝑇⁢ Sb 2 family (𝑅 = Y, Sc, rare earth; 𝑇 = transition metal), is known to exhibit extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) below its antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition temperature. Here, in this work, we present a comprehensive investigation combining magnetotransport measurements, density functional theory calculations accounting for electron correlation, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results reveal a complex electronic structure characterized by a multiband Fermi surface and intricate magnetic ground states. We demonstrate that simple two-band models, previously employed in the literature, fail to consistently describe the observed transport phenomena. Notably, we report an XMR of approximately 25200% at 2 K under a 14 T magnetic field, significantly exceeding earlier reports for this material family and rivaling the performance of prominent nonmagnetic XMR systems. This pronounced enhancement below 𝑇 𝑁 suggests that the XMR originates from a combination of multiband electron-hole compensation and enhanced magnetic scattering in this correlated AFM semimetal.

Structural, Electronic, and Photophysical Insights into a Few Atom Copper-Sulfur Cluster in the Solid and Solution States

Coinage-metal chalcogenide clusters are widely studied for their attractive photoluminescence properties. Copper chalcogenides are especially promising, but are often confined to solid-state investigations due to their limited solution stability and the difficulty of synthesizing stable, well-defined clusters. Here, we investigate copper–sulfur clusters incorporating a small number of Cu atoms to elucidate fundamental atomic interactions, ground- and excited-state characteristics, and photophysical behavior in both solid and solution. We have synthesized the Cu6(4,6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine)6 cluster in both neutral and charged states, Cu6 and Cu6-2H2+, respectively, by selective ligand protonation. The molecular structures are determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, while Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy is used to probe Cu electronic structure differences arising from the ligand modification. Steady-state and pump-probe optical spectroscopy is used to investigate photophysical properties, interpreted using density functional theory methods. Both clusters exhibit good stability in the solid state and in solution and show characteristic near-infrared emission with microsecond lifetimes. Overall, the Cu6S6 clusters display favorable charge–transfer characteristics and show potential for further use in driving photochemical transformations.

Lattice and Local Electronic Structure Modulation Enables Ultra-Long-Life Li-Rich Cathode Materials

Effectively alleviating severe performance deterioration including rapid capacity decay and continuous voltage fading of Li-rich layered oxide (LLO) cathodes by suppressing the irreversible oxygen release and transition metal (TM) migration is a critical challenge during prolonged cycling. Herein, we report a Sb-doped LLO (SLLO) cathode with shortened TM oct –TM oct distance and modulated local electronic structure, which can significantly enhance the oxygen vacancy formation energy and TM migration energy barriers. Therefore, the SLLO cathode showcases an impressive energy density of 1052 Wh kg –1 at 0.2 C and an outstanding rate capability of 214 mAh g –1 at 5 C with a remarkable capacity retention of 79.2% even after 1000 cycles. It should be pointed out that it exhibits greatly enhanced voltage stability with an outstanding voltage retention of 86.2% after cycling 1600 times at 10 C. In conclusion, this work provides a prototype for significantly enhancing the reversibility in electrochemical reactions of high-capacity layered cathode materials.

Ab Initio Electronic Structure Calculations of CNN for CN Excitation Studies

The CN molecule is an important contributor to radiative heat flux in shock layers around vehicles entering Titan’s atmosphere. Current data for heavy particle (de)excitation rate coefficients of CN leads to uncertainties in the population of CN in its first and second excited states. This in turn leads to uncertainties in the radiative heat flux predicted by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of Titan atmospheric entry. This work performs ab initio electronic structure calculations of the CNN complex to create Potential Energy Surfaces (PESs) that correlate to the ground and first and second excited states of CN. Specifically, the state combinations of CN(X,A,B) + N(4S𝑜) correlate to six states of CNN (three Quintet A” and three Triplet A”). Initial calculations of these states suggest that heavy particle (de)excitation of CN by N atoms is likely to proceed through collinear geometries on triplet surfaces. Complete PESs will show all of the reaction pathways in detail, and will be used in nonadiabatic dynamics calculations to evaluate improved rate coefficients and reduce uncertainty in the radiative heat flux during Titan entry.
