The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

56.4K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

The Uncertainty Principle

31.2K
Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how accurately one can measure properties of an electron or other microscopic particles. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how accurately one can measure both a particle’s position and its momentum simultaneously. The more accurate the measurement of the momentum of a particle is known, the less accurate the position at that time is known and vice versa. This is what is now called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. He...

Potential-Energy Criterion for Equilibrium

882
Potential energy or potential function plays an essential role in determining the stability of a mechanical system. If a system is subjected to both gravitational and elastic forces, the potential function of the system can be expressed as the algebraic sum of gravitational and elastic potential energy. If the system is in equilibrium and is displaced by a small amount, then the work done on the system equals the negative of the change in the system's potential energy from the initial to the...

Van der Waals Interactions01:24

Van der Waals Interactions

69.9K
Atoms and molecules interact with each other through intermolecular forces. These electrostatic forces arise from attractive or repulsive interactions between particles with permanent, partial, or temporary charges. The intermolecular forces between neutral atoms and molecules are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, and dispersion forces, collectively known as van der Waals forces.

π Electron Effects on Chemical Shift: Overview

1.6K
An applied magnetic field causes loosely bound π-electrons in organic molecules to circulate, producing a local or induced diamagnetic field over a large spatial volume. As the molecules tumble in solution, the field generated by π-electrons in spherical substituents results in a zero net field. However, the net field generated by π-electrons in non-spherical substituents is not zero. The effect of this induced field depends on the orientation of the molecule with respect to B0,...

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Computational Materials Science
  • Machine Learning in Chemistry

Background:

  • Approximate density functionals are crucial for materials science but struggle with accuracy in valence regions.
  • Existing methods face challenges with gauge ambiguity and lack of exact constraints.
  • Hand-crafted inhomogeneity measures limit the performance of local hybrid functionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a transparent, data-driven route for improving approximate density functionals.
  • To replace traditional inhomogeneity measures with neural-network local mixing functions (n-LMFs).
  • To enhance the accuracy and reliability of local hybrid and double hybrid functionals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized neural-network local mixing functions (n-LMFs) evaluated on rung-3 or rung-4 descriptors.
  • Kept the overall functional structure transparent and explainable.
  • Extended the approach to rung-5 functionals, incorporating SCS-PT2 correlation.
  • Trained an n-LMF with an explicit strong-correlation factor to address delocalization and static-correlation errors.

Main Results:

  • Developed LH24n-B95 and LH24n functionals with broad main-group accuracy.
  • Successfully suppressed gauge artifacts without calibration functions, allowing real-space analysis.
  • Introduced the first local double hybrids with position-dependent exact-exchange admixture and SCS-PT2 correlation.
  • The LH25nP functional achieved state-of-the-art rung-4 performance, improved bond dissociation curves, fractional-spin behavior, and reduced spin contamination.

Conclusions:

  • Limited machine learning integration preserves explainability and facilitates rational design.
  • The developed functionals offer significant improvements in accuracy and robustness for chemical applications.
  • This data-driven approach provides a powerful tool for advancing density functional theory.
