Nonetheless, the choice of the appropriate density functional, critically affecting the outcome of the simulation, has remained arbitrary. Here, we assess the performance of various exchange−correlation (XC) functionals, based on the metrics relevant to sum-frequency generation spectroscopy. The structure and dynamics of water at the water−air interface are governed by heterogeneous intermolecular interactions, thereby providing a critical benchmark for XC functionals.

Bertsch c and Angel Rubio a aDepartamento de F´ısica de Materiales, Facultad de Qu´ımicas, Universidad del Pa´ıs Vasco, Centro Mixto CSIC-UPV/EHU and Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), 20080 San Sebastian,´ Spain bDepartamento de F´ısica Teorica,´ Universidad de Valladolid, E-47011 Valladolid, Spain cPhysics Department and Institute for Nuclear Theory, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195 USA Abstract We present a computer package aimed at the simulation of the electron-ion dynamics of finite systems, both in one and three dimensions, under the influence of time-dependent electromagnetic fields. The electronic degrees of freedom are treated quantum mechani- cally within the time-dependent Kohn-Sham formalism, while the ions are handled classi- cally. All quantities are expanded in a regular mesh in real space, and the simulations are performed in real time. Although not optimized for that purpose, the program is also able to obtain static properties like ground-state geometries, or static polarizabilities. The method employed proved quite reliable and general, and has been successfully used to calculate linear and non-linear absorption spectra, harmonic spectra, laser induced fragmentation, etc. of a variety of systems, from small clusters to medium sized quantum dots. Key words: Electronic structure, time-dependent, density-functional theory, non-linear optics, response functions PACS: 33.20.-t, 78.67.-n, 82.53.-k PROGRAM SUMMARY Title of program: octopus Catalogue identifier: Program obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen’s University of Belfast, N.

Cohen, and Nicholas C. Handy Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1EW, United Kingdom ͑Received 7 June 2000; accepted 8 September 2000͒ To gain an understanding of the variational behavior of kinetic energy functionals, we perform a numerical study of the Thomas–Fermi–Dirac–von Weizsa¨cker theory in finite systems. A general purpose Gaussian-based code is constructed to perform energy and geometry optimizations on polyatomic systems to high accuracy. We carry out benchmark studies on atomic and diatomic systems. Our results indicate that the Thomas–Fermi–Dirac–von Weizsa¨cker theory can give an approximate description of matter, with atomic energies, binding energies, and bond lengths of the correct order of magnitude, though not to the accuracy required of a qualitative chemical theory. We discuss the implications for the development of new kinetic functionals. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. ͓DOI: 10.1063/1.1321308͔ I. INTRODUCTION

    Simulation Studies of the Mechanisms of Interaction between Carbon Nanotubes and Amino Acids by George Bassem Botros Abadir B.Sc., Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 2000 M.Sc., Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Electrical and Computer Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 c George Bassem Botros Abadir 2010 Abstract In this thesis, molecular dynamics and ab initio density functional theory/non- equilibrium Green’s function simulations are used to study the interaction between carbon nanotubes and amino acids. Firstly, rules for the proper choice of the parameters used in these simulations are established. It is demonstrated how the improper choice of these parameters (particularly the basis set used in ab initio simulations) can lead to quantitatively and qualitatively erroneous conclusions regarding the bandgap of the nanotubes. It is then shown that the major forces responsible for amino-acid adsorp- tion on carbon nanotubes are van der Waals forces, and that hydrophobic interactions may accelerate the adsorption process, but are not necessary for it to occur. The mechanisms of interaction between carbon nanotubes and amino acids are elucidated. It is found that geometrical deformations do not play a major role in the sensing process, and that electrostatic inter- actions represent the major interaction mechanism between the tubes and amino acids. Fully metallic armchair tubes are found to be insensitive to various amino acids, while small-radius nanotubes are shown to be inade- quate for sensing in aqueous media, as their response to the motion of the atoms resulting from the immersion in water is comparable to that of an- alyte adsorption.
