We consider the Dean–Kawasaki (DK) equation of overdamped Brownian particles that forms the basis of the stochastic density functional theory. Recently, the linearized DK equation has successfully reproduced the full Onsager theory of symmetric electrolyte conductivity. In this paper, the linear DK equation is applied to investigate density fluctuations around the ground state distribution of strongly coupled counterions near a charged plate, focusing especially on the transverse dynamics along the plate surface. Consequently, we find a crossover scale above which the transverse density dynamics appears frozen and below which diffusive behavior of counterions can be observed on the charged plate. The linear DK equation provides a characteristic length of the dynamical crossover that is similar to the Wigner–Seitz radius used in equilibrium theory for the 2D one-component plasma, which is our main result. Incidentally, general representations of longitudinal dynamics vertical to the plate further suggest the existence of advective and electrical reverse-flows; these effects remain to be quantitatively investigated.

In a recent beam deflecting experiment was found that high and low spin states of pure Fe<sub>n</sub> and Co<sub>n</sub> clusters with <em>n</em> ≤ 300 atoms coexist at cryogenic temperatures. In this work we have studied the high spin (HS) and low spin (LS) states of several structural isomers of Co<sub>23</sub>, Co<sub>34</sub>, Fe<sub>34</sub>, and Fe<sub>40</sub> using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to density functional theory as implemented in the first-principles pseudo-potential code SIESTA. The calculated energy difference between these HS and LS isomers is not consistent with the observed coexistence, which can be due to an insufficient account of many body correlation effects in the GGA description, or to unknown isomer structures of these clusters. We have calculated within the same tools the magnetic isomers of Co<sub>12</sub>Cu cluster aimed to re-visit a former DFT prediction of an anti-ferromagnetic ground state. We find, however, a ferromagnetic ground state as expected on physical grounds. Our results exemplify the difficulties of the current DFT approaches to describe the magnetic properties of transition metal systems.

The structural and electronic properties of 1-(5-Hydroxymethyl - 4 –[ 5 – (5-oxo-5-piperidin- 1 -yl-penta- 1,3 -dienyl)-benzo [1,3] dioxol- 2 -yl]- tetrahydro -furan-2 -yl)-5-methy l-1Hpyrimidine-2,4dione (AHE) molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing density functional theory (DFT), and semi empirical molecular orbital calculations. The geometry of the molecule is optimized at the level of Austin Model 1 (AM1), and the electronic properties and relative energies of the molecules have been calculated by density functional theory in the ground state. The resultant dipole moment of the AHE molecule is about 2.6 and 2.3 Debyes by AM1 and DFT methods respectively, This property of AHE makes it an active molecule with its environment, that is AHE molecule may interacts with its environment strongly in solution.

We investigate hole transfer in open carbynes, i.e., carbon atomic nanowires, using Real-Time Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (RT-TDDFT). The nanowire is made of N carbon atoms. We use the functional B3LYP and the basis sets 3-21G, 6-31G*, cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ, cc-pVQZ. We also utilize a few Tight-Binding (TB) wire models, a very simple model with all sites equivalent and transfer integrals given by the Harrison ppπ expression (TBI) as well as a model with modified initial and final sites (TBImod) to take into account the presence of one or two or three hydrogen atoms at the edge sites. To achieve similar site occupations in cumulenes with those obtained by converged RT-TDDFT, TBImod is sufficient. However, to achieve similar frequency content of charge and dipole moment oscillations and similar coherent transfer rates, the TBImod transfer integrals have to be multiplied by a factor of four (TBImodt4times). An explanation for this is given. Full geometry optimization at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory shows that in cumulenes bond length alternation (BLA) is not strictly zero and is not constant, although it is symmetrical relative to the molecule center. BLA in cumulenic cases is much smaller than in polyynic cases, so, although not strictly, the separation to cumulenes and polyynes, approximately, holds. Vibrational analysis confirms that for N even all cumulenes with coplanar methylene end groups are stable, for N odd all cumulenes with perpendicular methylene end groups are stable, and the number of hydrogen atoms at the end groups is clearly seen in all cumulenic and polyynic cases. We calculate and discuss the Density Functional Theory (DFT) ground state energy of neutral molecules, the CDFT (Constrained DFT) “ground state energy” of molecules with a hole at one end group, energy spectra, density of states, energy gap, charge and dipole moment oscillations, mean over time probabilities to find the hole at each site, coherent transfer rates, and frequency content, in general. We also compare RT-TDDFT with TB results.

Density functional theory (DFT) within Wien2k code is utilized to compute the mechanical, thermal, electronic, magnetic and thermoelectric properties of the cubic spinel CoV2O4. The ground state lattice constant of CoV2O4 alloy agrees with previous literature. The calculated elastic constants of CoV2O4 predict that the present alloy is anisotropic, elastically stable and brittle. Beneficial acoustical applications are expected for the present alloy due to its high calculated Debye temperature and average sound velocities values. The longitudinal and transverse sound velocities modes of vibrations are found maximum along [110] directions compared to [100] and [111] directions. The calculated DOS and band structure show that CoV2O4 is electronically stable. The present alloy possesses a total magnetic moment of 12.0 [Formula: see text] and is classified as a half-metallic ferromagnet. CoV2O4 shows [Formula: see text]-type behavior and favors holes as charge carriers. The present alloy owns beneficial thermoelectric properties and can be used in thermoelectric applications.
