Intermolecular interaction energies and conformer geometries of the hydrogen bonded acrylamide dimers have been studied by using the second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory and the density functional theory (DFT) with 17 density functionals. Dunning's correlation consistent basis sets (up to aug-cc-pVTZ) have been used to study the basis set effects. The DFT calculated interaction energies are compared to the reference energy data calculated by the MP2 method and the coupled cluster method at the complete basis set (CCSD(T)/CBS) limit in order to determine the relative performance of the studied density functionals. Overall, dispersion-energy-corrected density functionals outperform uncorrected ones. The ${\omega}B97XD$ density functional is particularly effective in terms of both accuracy and computational cost in estimating the reference energy values using small basis sets and is highly recommended for similar calculations for larger systems.

The electronic state of ZnO doped with Al, Ga and In, which belong to III family elements in periodic table, was calculated using the density functional theory. In this study, the program used for the calculation on theoretical structures of ZnO and doped ZnO was Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP), which is a sort of pseudo potential method. The detail of electronic structure was obtained by the describe variational $X{\alpha}(DV-X{\alpha})$(DV-Xa) method, which is a sort of molecular orbital full potential method. The optimized crystal structures obtained by calculations were compared to the measured structure. The density of state and energy levels of dopant elements was shown and discussed in association with properties.

We investigate the doublet and quartet potential energy surfaces associated with the gas-phase reaction between $Ti^+$ and $CF_3COCH_3$ for two plausible reaction pathways, $TiF_2^+$ and $TiO^+$ formation pathways by using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The molecular structures of intermediates and transition states involved in these reaction pathways are optimized at the DFT level by using the PBE0 functional. All transition states are identified by using the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) method, and the resulting reaction coordinates describe how $Ti^+$ activates $CF_3COCH_3$ and produces $TiF_2^+$ and $TiO^+$ as products. On the basis of presented results, we propose the most favorable reaction pathway in the reaction between $Ti^+$ and $CF_3COCH_3$.

The total energy and strength of Mg alloy doped with Al, Ca and Zn, were calculated using the density functional theory. The calculations was performed by two programs; the discrete variational $X{\alpha}\;(DV-X{\alpha})$ method, which is a sort of molecular orbital full potential method; Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP), which is a sort of pseudo potential method. The fundamental mixed orbital structure in each energy level near the Fermi level was investigated with simple model using $DV-X{\alpha}$. The optimized crystal structures calculated by VASP were compared to the measured structure. The density of state and the energy levels of dopant elements was discussed in association with properties. When the lattice parameter obtained from this study was compared, it was slightly different from the theoretical value but it was similar to Mk, and we obtained the reliability of data. A parameter Mk obtained by the $DV-X{\alpha}$ method was proportional to electronegativity and inversely proportional to ionic radii. We can predict the mechanical properties because $\Delta{\overline{Mk}}$is proportional to hardness.

The embedded atom method based on the density functional theory is used for calculating ground state properties of realistic metal systems. In this paper, we had corrected constitutive formulae and parameters on the palladium for the purpose of doing Embedded Atom Method analysis. And then we have computed the properties of the palladium on the fundamental scale of the atomic structure. In result, simulated ground state properties, such as the lattice constant, elastics constants and the sublimation energy, show good agreement with Daw's simulation data and with experimental data.

The embedded atom method based on density functional theory was developed as a new means for calculating ground state properties of realistic metal system by Murray S. Daw, Stephen M. Foiles and Michael I. Baskes. In the paper, we had corrected constitutive formulae and parameters on the nickel for the purpose of doing Embedded Atom Method analysis. And then we have computed the properties of the nickel on the fundamental scale of the atomic structure. In result, simulated ground state properties, such as the lattice constant, elastics constants and sublimation energy, show good agreement with Daw's simulation data and with experimental data.

Several critical geometries associated with the rearrangement of $CH_3SNO_2\;to\;CH_3SONO$ are calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method and compared with those of the ab initio molecular orbital methods. There are two probable pathways for this rearrangement, one involving the transition state of an oxygen migration and the other through the homolytic decomposition to radicals. The reaction barrier via the transition state is about 60 kcal/mol and the decomposition energy into radicals about 35 kcal/mol, suggesting that the reaction pathway via the homolytic cleavage to radical species is energetically favorable. Since even the homolytic cleavage requires large energies, the rearrangement reaction is unlikely without the aid of catalysts.

ZnSe는 가시광선 영역에서 넓은 밴드갭을 가지고 있는 II-VI족 화합물 반도체 소자로서 레이저 다이오드, 디스플레이 그리고 태양전지와 같은 다양한 응용분야에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적 전착방법을 이용하여 ITO 전극상에 ZnSe 박막을 합성하여, XRD와 SEM으로 ZnSe 결정의 합성과 zinc blende 구조의 형태를 관측하였고, UV 분광기를 활용하여 밴드갭을 측정한 결과 2.76 eV이었다. 또한, 분자동역학에서 활용되는 밀도범함수 이론 (DFT, Density Functional Theory)을 도입하여 ZnSe 결정에 대한 밴드 구조의 해석을 수행하였다. Zinc blende구조를 갖는 ZnSe 결정에 대하여 LDA (Local Density Approximation), PBE (Perdew Burke Ernzerhof), 그리고 B3LYP (Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr) 범함수를 이용하여 밴드구조와 상태밀도 (Density of State)를 모사하였다. 각각의 경우에 대해 에너지 밴드갭을 구한 결과, B3LYP 범함수로 해석한 경우에 실험치와 근사치인 2.65 eV의 밴드갭을 보여주었다.

The accurate prediction of vertical excitation energies is very important for the development of new materials in the dye and pigment industry. A time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approach coupled with 22 different exchange-correlation functionals was used for the prediction of vertical excitation energies in the halogenated copper phthalocyanine molecules in order to find the most appropriate functional and to determine the accuracy of the prediction of the absorption wavelength and observed spectral shifts. Among the tested functional, B3LYP functional provides much more accurate vertical excitation energies and UV-vis spectra. Our results clearly provide a benchmark calibration of the TD-DFT method for phthalocyanine based dyes and pigments used in industry.
