Molecular Clusters in gas and liquid phases

Our research group contributes in development of theoretical approaches, far beyond simplified models, and the design of specific computational tools to address efficiently real problems of physicochemical interest in the field that links science to technology and innovation. The main goal is the detailed understanding of a variety of molecular processes through quantum dynamics simulations. Our investigation focuses on the study of reactive collisions, large helium clusters doped with impurities, quantum molecular processes in nanoconfined systems and hydration effects in aqueous solutions. Our activities cooperate to build a proper environment for training young researchers and foster well-established collaborations ensuring progress in scientific knowledge/transfer.

Investigadores del IFF profundizan en los secretos de los polarones

Nuestros compañeros, Dra. María del Pilar de Lara-Castells y Prof. Salvador Miret Artés, lideran una investigación sobre los polarones y sus interacciones en diversos materiales con átomos cercanos. Su trabajo ha sido recientemente publicado en la revista de la Sociedad Europea de Física, "Europhysics News: Quantum Technology". Su trabajo abrirá un abanico científico y tecnológico en el campo de las ciencias sub-nanométricas. En concreto, el estudio amplia nuestros conocimientos fundamentales sobre el comportamiento de los polarones en la superficie de distintos materiales (TiO2), mediante la observación de fonómenos de polarización que surgen de efectos químico cuánticos. Así mismo, muestran la [...]

Atom scattering as a probe of the surface electron-phonon interaction at conducting surfaces

Authors: Manson, J. R.; Benedek, G.; Miret-Artés, S. Journal: SURFACE SCIENCE REPORTS Publication date: 2022/05/01 DOI: 10.1016/j.surfrep.2022.100552 Abstract: An atomic projectile colliding with a surface at kinetic energies in the thermal or hyperthermal range interacts with and is reflected by the electronic density well in front of the first layer of target atoms, and it is generally accepted that the repulsive interaction potential is proportional to the density of electrons extending outside the surface. This review develops a complete treatment of the elastic and inelastic scattering of atoms from a conducting surface in which the interaction with the electron density [...]

Delving into guest-free and He-filled sI and sII clathrate hydrates: a first-principles computational study

Authors: Yanes-Rodríguez, R.; Cabrera-Ramírez, A.; Prosmiti, R. Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/06/01 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp00701k Abstract: The dynamics of the formation of a specific clathrate hydrate as well as its thermodynamic transitions depend on the interactions between the trapped molecules and the host water lattice. The molecular-level understanding of the different underlying processes benefits not only the description of the properties of the system, but also allows the development of multiple technological applications such as gas storage, gas separation, energy transport, etc. In this work we investigate the stability of periodic crystalline structures, such as He@sI and He@sII [...]
