In this study, we analyzed the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate dependant on the column depths using various absorbents such as zeolite silica sand, and activated carbon through the column test. In addition, we analyzed electrochemical adsorption behaviors of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate through the quantum mechanical calculation based on density functional theory calculation. Experimental results represent the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate are zeolite > activated carbon > silica sand, and activated carbon > zeolite > silica sand, respectively. Zeolite shows high adsorption property for ammonia nitrogen over 90%, regardless of the column depth, while activated carbon exhibits high adsorption property for both ammonia nitrogen and phosphate as the column depth for filter media increases. Theoretical findings using DFT calculation for the adsorption behaviors of adsorbents (activated carbon and silica sand) and nutrients ($PO_4{^{3-}}$, $NH_4{^{+}}$) show that activated carbon represented narrower HOMO-LUMO band gap with high adsorption energy, and even more favorable environment for electron adsorption than silica sand, which leads to the effective removal of nutrients.

$MoS_2$ 단일층에 단축 방향으로 스트레인을 가해 Mo와 S 사이의 거리를 변화시키면서 밴드 구조의 변화를 밀도 범함수 이론에 기반해 계산했다. $MoS_2$ 단일층의 전자 구조는 스트레인에 민감하게 변화하여 밴드갭의 감소와 직접 밴드갭에서 간접 밴드갭으로 밴드갭의 특성이 변화함을 확인했다. 이러한 전자 구조의 변화는 스트레인에 의한 전하 분포의 변화와 로컬 오비탈의 상호작용에 의한 영향으로 해석된다.

Computational studies were carried out on the opiates morphine, heroin, codeine, pentazocine, and buprenorphine, under the density functional theory. The geometric parameters of the pharmacophore and substituents were evaluated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory. The electronic structure calculations were performed using the same hybrid functional at the B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level of theory. The atomic charges were obtained by Mulliken population analysis. Given the reported biological activity, calculated partition coefficients, and electronic and geometric analysis, pentazocine and buprenorphine were chosen as models for proposed analogues. These analogues were then studied and compared with the model molecules. The study reveals that the geometry and electronic structure of the pharmacophore remains consistent in the presence of different substituents. Because the proposed analogues preserve the studied properties of the model molecules, it is likely that these analogues display biological activity.

Using density functional theory calculations, we study the Schottky barrier (SB) change in a two-dimensional (2D) lateral heterostructure consisting of semiconducting $2H-MoS_2$ and the ferromagnetic metal $2H-VS_2$ by applying a uniaxial tensile strain from 0% to 10%. We find that the SB for holes is much smaller than that for electrons and that SB height decreases monotonically under increasing tensile strain. In particular, we find that a critical strain where the spin-up SB for holes is abruptly reduced to zero exists near a strain of 8%, implying that only the spin-up holes are allowed to flow through the $MoS_2-VS_2$ lateral heterostructure. Our results provide fundamental information and can be utilized to guide the design of 2D lateral heterostructure-based novel rectifying devices by using strain engineering.

Computational material science as an application of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to the discipline of material science has emerged and applied to the research and development of energy materials and electronic materials such as semiconductor. However, there are a few difficulties, such as generating input files for various types of materials in both the same calculating condition and appropriate parameters, which is essential in comparing results of DFT calculation in the right way. In this tutorial status report, we will introduce how to create crystal structures and to prepare input files automatically for the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) and Gaussian, the most popular DFT calculation programs. We anticipate this tutorial makes DFT calculation easier for the ones who are not experts on DFT programs.

The theoretical investigation has been performed to predict thermodynamic stability, density, detonation velocity, and detonation pressure of energetic salts produced by pairing of nitrogen-rich anions (tetrazine, oxadiazole etc.) and cations (NH₃OH⁺, NH₂NH₃⁺, CH₉N₆⁺, C₂H₆N₅⁺). All possible geometries and the binding energy for the trigger bond of energetic salts have been optimized at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level of theory. The detonation velocity and detonation pressure have been calculated using Kamlet-Jacobs equation, while enthalpy has been predicted at the G2MP2 level of theory. The predicted results reveal that the energetic salts including small sized NH₃OH⁺(1) and NH₂NH₃⁺(2) cations increase detonation property. And also the energetic salts including more amino group (-NH₂) such as CH₉N₆⁺(3) cation increase thermodynamic stability. These results provide basic information for the development the high energy density materials (HEDMs).

유리 소재는 뛰어난 기계적, 화학적, 광학 특성으로 인해 다양한 영역에서 광범위하게 활용되어 왔으며, 최근에는 특정 물성이 강화된 기능성 유리 수요가 다양한 산업 영역에서 급속히 증가하고 있다. 유리 소재 분야에서의 연구 개발은 유리 특유의 비정질 구조 및 다원소 조성 특성에 의한 복합성 때문에 전통적으로 경험에 기반한 실험 기법에 의존하여 왔다. 그러나 적용 분야에 따른 맞춤형 물성 강화에 대한 필요성이 증대됨에 따라, 핵심 물성 발현 원리 등을 원자 단위에서 이해하고 이를 바탕으로 기능성 유리 소재를 설계하는 접근법이 주목받고 있다. 원자단위 시뮬레이션 및 이론 기반 모델링은 유리 소재의 다양한 물성과 조성 변화에 따른 원자 구조의 상관관계를 매우 효율적으로 분석할 수 있는 기법이다. 본 기고문 에서는 밀도범함수이론, 분자동역학 및 위상속박이론을 활용한 기능성 유리 소재 개발 및 연구 동향에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

ZnSe, as a II-VI compound semiconductor which has a wide band gap in the visible region is applicable to the various fields such as laser diode, display and solar cell. By using the electrochemical deposition method, ZnSe thin film was synthesized on the ITO glass substrate. The synthesis of ZnSe grains and their structure having zinc blende shape were verified through the analysis of XRD and SEM. UV spectrophotometric method determined the band gap as the value of 2.76 eV. Applying the DFT (Density Functional Theory) in the molecular dynamics, the band structure of ZnSe grains was analyzed. For ZnSe grains with zinc blende structure, the band structure and its density of state were simulated using LDA (Local Density Approximation), PBE (Perdew Burke Ernzerhof), and B3LYP (Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr) functionals. Among the calculations of energy band gap upon each functional, the simulated one of 2.65 eV based on the B3LYP functional was mostly near by the experimental measurement.

현재, 빛을 이용한 화학 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있고 이러한 연구는 양자역학을 기반으로 화학에서 상당히 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 또한 컴퓨터의 발전에 따라 여러 계산 모델들이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 회전파 근사(Rotating Wave Approximation, RWA)를 통해 라비 진동을 이론적으로 확인하고, 가장 간단한 연속파 레이저와 두 에너지 준위에서 시작하여 레이저 펄스와 두 에너지 준위, 레이저 펄스와 이원자분자인 $Na_2$ 분자의 두 전자에너지 퍼텐셜 준위, 그리고 실제 시간 밀도 범함수 이론(Real-Time Time Dependent Density Functional Theory, RT-TDDFT)이란 제일원리계산을 통해 연속파 레이저와 $H_2$ 분자와 $C_2H_4$ 분자에서까지 관찰하였다. 이 연구를 통해 공명 전이의 경우 펄스의 면적이 ${\pi}$의 홀수 배일 때 완전한 입자수 전이가 일어나는 펄스 면적 정리를 확인할 수 있었고, 이원자분자인 $Na_2$의 경우엔 펄스의 지속시간도 입자수 전이에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 더 나아가 $H_2$ 분자와 $C_2H_4$ 분자에서는 RT-TDDFT 계산을 통해 라비 진동을 확인할 수 있었고, 두 종류의 기저함수간의 대조를 통해 기저함수 선택의 중요성을 알아보았고, 가장 중요하게는 레이저를 잘 조작하면 입자를 원하는 상태로 들뜨게 할 수 있다는 것이란 결론을 얻게 되었다.
