The cationic complexes of Asparagine (Asn), M +( Asn ), with M + = Li +, Na +, K +, Cs +, and H +, are models for studying the interaction between cations and Asn. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) method is employed to simulate their behavior at finite temperatures. Structural transformation between conformers is observed, which becomes progressively easier as the cation varies from Li +, to Na +, K +, Cs +, and H +. The fluctuation of the M +– N and M +– O distances and rotation of torsional angles are significant even at room temperature for K +, Cs + and H +. Vibrational profiles based on AIMD trajectories provide insights into the broadening and shifts in relative intensities observed in the vibrational spectra measured by infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) experiments.

ABSTRACTWe report the results of ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations for small clusters of Si and C atoms. Ground-state geometries and vibrational spectra are presented. We also describe a Bayesian spectral estimation technique which we have found to be useful in analyzing molecular dynamics trajectories.

The accurate ab-initio modelling of prototypical and well-representative photo-active interfaces for candidate dye-sensitised solar cells is a challenging problem. To this end, using ab-initio molecular-dynamics (AIMD) simulation based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), the effects of explicit solvation by iodide-based, I−[bmim]+ room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been assessed on modelling a N719-chromophore sensitising dye adsorbed onto an anatase-titania (101) surface. In particular, the vibrational spectra for this model photo-active interface were calculated by means of Fourier transformed mass-weighted velocity autocorrelation functions. These were compared with experiment and against each other to gain an understanding of how using iodine-based RTILs as the electrolytic hole acceptor alters the dynamical properties of the widely-used N719 dye. The effect of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) and Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (BLYP) functionals on the vibrational spectra were assessed. PBE generally performed best in producing spectra which matched the typically expected experimental frequency modes.

ABSTRACTA probable byproduct of growth of crystalline GaN is an amorphous phase of the material. In this paper, we propose a structural model of amorphous GaN obtained from ah initio molecular dynamics. The radial distribution function, local bonding, electronic density of states and vibrational spectra are described. The network we obtain is highly disordered but exhibits a large state-free optical gap, and has no wrong (homopolar) bonds. These predictions are intended to elucidate the experimental signatures of amorphous GaN.
