Quantum‐mechanical condensed matter simulations with CRYSTAL

10.1002/wcms.1360

2018-03-04

The latest release of the Crystal program for solid‐state quantum‐mechanical ab initio simulations is presented. The program adopts atom‐centered Gaussian‐type functions as a basis set, which makes it possible to perform all‐electron as well as pseudopotentia...

Gas sensing and capturing based on two‐dimensional layered materials: Overview from theoretical perspective

10.1002/wcms.1361

2018-02-16

Toxic gas detection and capture are two important topics, which are highly related with human health and environments. Recently, theoretical simulations based on first‐principles calculations have suggested two‐dimensional (2D) materials to be as ideal candid...

Revisiting the earliest signatures of amyloidogenesis: Roadmaps emerging from computational modeling and experiment

10.1002/wcms.1359

2018-02-13

Neurodegenerative amyloidogenesis begins with the aggregation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which is the first step in a cascade of assembly events that can lead to insoluble fibrous deposits in brain tissue. IDP conformations that promote form...

Molecular simulations in drug delivery: Opportunities and challenges

10.1002/wcms.1358

2018-02-01

Molecular simulations are promising tools for in silico design of drug delivery formulations, as they provide a prediction of formulation properties prior to synthesis thus minimizing the need for in vitro and in vivo experimentation. The detailed molecular i...

Periodic and fragment models based on the local correlation approach

10.1002/wcms.1357

2018-01-17

A rigorous treatment of dynamical electron correlation in crystalline solids is one of the main challenges in today's materials quantum chemistry and theoretical solid state physics. In this study, we address this problem by using the local correlation approa...

The GW approximation: content, successes and limitations

2017-12-27

Many observables such as the density, total energy, or electric current, can be expressed explicitly in terms of the one-body Green's function, which describes electron addition or removal to or from a system. An efficient way to determine such a Green's func...
