AbstractTitanium dioxide represents one of the most widely studied transition metal oxides due to its high chemical stability, non-toxicity, abundance, electron transport capability in many classes of optoelectronic devices and excellent photocatalytic properties. Nevertheless, the wide bang gap of pristine oxide reduces its electron transport ability and photocatalytic activity. Doping with halides and other elements has been proven an efficient defect engineering strategy in order to reduce the band gap and maximize the photocatalytic activity. In the present study, we apply Density Functional Theory to investigate the influence of fluorine and chlorine doping on the electronic properties of TiO2. Furthermore, we present a complete investigation of spin polarized density functional theory of the (001) surface doped with F and Cl in order to elaborate changes in the electronic structure and compare them with the bulk TiO2.

We present a recyclable SERS-based immunoassay for CA19-9 with a low detection limit of 5 U mL−1. The linking between TiO2-NTs and 4MBA was destroyed by catalyzing 4MBA into 4-sulfobenzoate upon UV irradiation, which was clarified by UPLC/ESI-tqMS and density functional theory.

<div>The Pauli potential is an essential quantity in orbital-free density-functional theory (DFT) and in the exact electron factorization (EEF) method for many-electron systems. Knowledge of the Pauli potential allows the description of a system relying on the density alone, without the need to calculate the orbitals.</div><div>In this work we explore the behavior of the exact Pauli potential in finite systems as a function of the number of electrons, employing the ensemble approach in DFT. Assuming the system is in contact with an electron reservoir, we allow the number of electrons to vary continuously and to obtain fractional as well as integer values. We derive an expression for the Pauli potential for a spin-polarized system with a fractional number of electrons and find that when the electron number surpasses an integer, the Pauli potential jumps by a spatially uniform constant, similarly to the Kohn-Sham potential. The magnitude of the jump equals the Kohn-Sham gap. We illustrate our analytical findings by calculating the exact and approximate Pauli potentials for Li and Na atoms with fractional numbers of electrons.</div>

The electronic band structures of the ordered L12 and L10 phases of the PtxM1−x (M = Fe, Co and Ni) alloys were investigated using spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT). The relative contributions of both itinerant (Stoner) and localized magnetism at the high-symmetry k-points were determined and discussed qualitatively. Significant directional effects were identified along the A and R directions of the L10 and L12 alloys, respectively, and are discussed in terms of charge channeling effects.
