We present a family of minimally empirical double-hybrid DFT functionals parametrized against the very large and diverse GMTKN55 benchmark. The very recently proposed wB97M(2) empirical double hybrid (with 16 empirical parameters) has the lowest WTMAD2 (weighted mean absolute deviation over GMTKN55) ever reported at 2.19 kcal/mol. However, our xrevDSD-PBEP86-D4 functional reaches a statistically equivalent WTMAD2=2.22 kcal/mol, using just a handful of empirical parameters, and the xrevDOD-PBEP86-D4 functional reaches 2.25 kcal/mol with just opposite-spin MP2 correlation, making it amenable to reduced-scaling algorithms. In general, the D4 empirical dispersion correction is clearly superior to D3BJ. If one eschews dispersion corrections of any kind, noDispSD-SCAN offers a viable alternative. Parametrization over the entire GMTKN55 dataset yields substantial improvement over the small training set previously employed in the DSD papers.

<p>Materials design increasingly relies on first-principles calculations for screening important candidates and for understanding quantum mechanisms. Density functional theory (DFT) is by far the most popular first-principles approach due to its efficiency and accuracy. However, to accurately predict structures and thermodynamics, DFT must be paired with a van der Waals (vdW) dispersion correction. Therefore, such corrections have been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent years. Despite significant successes in organic molecules, no existing model can adequately cover the full range of common materials, from metals to ionic solids, hampering the applications of DFT for modern problems such as battery design. Here, we introduce a universally optimized vdW-corrected DFT method that demonstrates an unbiased reliability for predicting molecular, layered, ionic, metallic, and hybrid materials without incurring a large computational overhead. We use our method to accurately predict the intercalation potentials of layered electrode materials of a Li-ion battery system – a problem for which the existing state-of-the-art methods fail. Thus, we envisage broad use of our method in the design of chemo-physical processes of new materials.</p>

Systematic periodic density functional theory computations including dispersion correction (DFT-D) were carried out to determine the preferred location site of Zr atoms in sodalite (SOD) and CHA-type topology frameworks, including alumino-phosphate-34 (AlPO-34) and silico-alumino-phosphate-34 (SAPO-34), and to determine the relative stability and Brönsted acidity of Zr-substituted forms of SOD, AlPO-34, and SAPO-34. Mono and multiple Zr atom substitutions were considered. The Zr substitution causes obvious structural distortion because of the larger atomic radius of Zr than that of Si, however, Zr-substituted forms of zeolites are found to be more stable than pristine zeolites. Our results demonstrate that in the most stable configurations, the preferred favorable substitutions of Zr in substituted SOD have Zr located at the neighboring sites of the Al-substituted site. However, in the AlPO-34 and SAPO-34 frameworks, the Zr atoms are more easily distributed in a dispersed form, rather than being centralized. Brönsted acidity of substituted zeolites strongly depends on Zr content. For SOD, substitution of Zr atoms reduces Brönsted acidity. However, for Zr-substituted forms of AlPO-34 and SAPO-34, Brönsted acidity of the Zr-O(H)-Al acid sites are, at first, reduced and, then, the presence of Zr atoms substantially increased Brönsted acidity of the Zr-O(H)-Al acid site. The results in the SAPO-34-Zr indicate that more Zr atoms substantially increase Brönsted acidity of the Si-O(H)-Al acid site. It is suggested that substituted heteroatoms play an important role in regulating and controlling structural stability and Brönsted acidity of zeolites.

Using sound physical principles we modify the DFT-D2 atom pairwise semiempirical dispersion correction to density functional theory to work for metallic systems and in particular self-assembled monolayers of thiols on gold surfaces. We test our approximation for two functionals PBE-D and revPBE-D for lattice parameters and cohesive energies for Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au, adsorption energies of CO on (111) surfaces of Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, and Au, and adsorption energy of benzene on Ag(111) and Au(111). Agreement with experimental data is substantially improved. We apply the method to self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols on Au(111) and find reasonable agreement for PBE-D and revPBE-D for both physisorption of n-alkanethiols as well as dissociative chemisorption of dimethyl disulfide as an Au-adatom-dithiolate complex. By modifying the C6 coefficient for Au, we obtain quantitative agreement for physisorption and chemisorption for both PBE-D and revPBE-D using the same set of parameters. Our results confirm that inclusion of dispersion forces is crucial for any quantitative analysis of the thiol and thiolate bonds to the gold surface using quantum chemical calculations.

A second-order accurate finite-difference (FD) approximation is commonly used to approximate the second-order time derivative of wave equation. The second-order accurate FD scheme may introduce time dispersion in wavefield extrapolation. Lax-Wendroff methods can suppress such dispersion by replacing the high-order time FD error-terms with space FD error correcting terms. However, the time dispersion cannot be completely eliminated and the computation cost dramatically increases with increasing order of (temporal) accuracy. To mitigate the problem, we extend the existing time dispersion correction scheme for second- or fourth-order Lax-Wendroff method to a scheme for arbitrary even-order methods, which uses the forward and inverse time dispersion transform (FTDT and ITDT) to add and remove the time dispersion from synthetic data. We test the correction scheme using a homogeneous model and the Sigsbee2A model. Modeling examples suggest that the use of derived FTDT and ITDT pairs on high-order Lax-Wendroff methods can effectively remove time dispersion errors from high-frequency waves while using longer time steps than allowed in low-order Lax-Wendroff methods. We investigate the influence of the time dispersion on full waveform inversion (FWI) and show an anti-dispersion workflow. We apply the FTDT to source terms and recorded traces before inversion, resulting in that the source and adjoint wavefields contain equal time dispersion from source-side wave propagation, and the modeled and observed traces accumulate equal time dispersion from source- and receiver-side wave propagation. Inversion results reveal that the anti-dispersion workflow is capable of increasing the accuracy of FWI for arbitrary even-order Lax-Wendroff methods. Additionally, the high-order method can obtain better inversion results compared to the second-order method with the same anti-dispersion workflow.
