Abstract:
Density functional theory (DFT) has been used in many fields of the physical sciences, but none so successfully as in the solid state. From its origins in condensed matter physics, it has expanded into materials science, high-pressure physics and mineralogy, solid-state chemistry and more, powering entire computational subdisciplines. Modern DFT simulation codes can calculate a vast range of structural, chemical, optical, spectroscopic, elastic, vibrational and thermodynamic phenomena. The ability to predict structure–property relationships has revolutionized experimental fields, such as vibra

Abstract:
In this work, we consider low-enthalpy polymorphs of ice, predicted previously using a modified basin-hopping algorithm for crystal-structure prediction with the TIP4P empirical potential at three pressures (0, 4 and 8 kbar). We compare and (re)-rank the reported ice polymorphs in order of energetic stability, using high-level quantum-chemical calculations, primarily in the guise of sophisticated Density-Functional Theory (DFT) approaches. In the absence of applied pressure, ice Ih is predicted to be energetically more stable than ice Ic, and TIP4P-predicted results and ranking compare well wi

Abstract:
Molecular crystal plays an important role in many fields of science and technology, but it often crystallizes in different polymorphs with different physical properties. To guide the experimental synthesis of candidate materials, the atomic-scale model is frequently used to predict the most stable polymorph and its structural properties. Here, we show how an ab initio method can be used to achieve a rapid and accurate prediction of sulfathiazole crystal polymorphs (an antibiotic drug), based on the Gibbs free energy calculation and Raman spectra analysis.

The crystal structure of CaSe, a calcium chalcogen, is studied using density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) up to 250 GPa under high hydrostatic pressure. Structurally CaSe crystallizes in cubic NaCl-type (B1) structure (space group: [Formula: see text]) at ambient conditions.
