    Sammanfattning : Lithium ion insertion into electrode materials is commonly used in rechargeable battery technology. The insertion implies changes in both the crystal structure and the electronic structure of the electrode material. LÄS MER

  2. 12. Quantum chemical calculations of multidimensional dynamics probed in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

    Författare :Emelie Ertan; Michael Odelius; Åsa Larson; Oriol Vendrell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum chemistry; X-ray spectroscopy; RASSCF; density functional theory; ultrafast nuclear dynamics; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is devoted to the theoretical study of the dynamical processes induced by light-matter interactions in molecules and molecular systems. To this end, the multidimensional nuclear dynamics probed in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) of small molecules, exemplified by H2O (g) and H2S (g), as well as more complex molecular systems, exemplified by NH3 (aq) and kaolinite clay, are modelled.

  3. 13. Ab initio simulations of core level spectra : Towards an atomistic understanding of the dye-sensitized solar cell

    Författare :Ida Josefsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multiconfigurational quantum chemistry; CASSCF calculations; core-level spectroscopy; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; x-ray absorption; resonant x-ray scattering; dye solar cells; transition metals; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The main focus of this thesis is ab initio modeling of core level spectra with a high-level quantum chemical description both of the chemical interactions and of local atomic multiplet effects. In particular, the combination of calculations and synchrotron-based core-level spectroscopy aims at understanding the local structure of the electronic valence in transition metal complexes, and the details of the solvation mechanisms of electrolyte solutions, systems relevant for the dye-sensitized solar cell.

  4. 14. Ab initio simulations of vibrational and electronic structure evaluated against K-edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

    Författare :Emelie Ertan; Michael Odelius; Laurent Duda; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resonant inelastic X-ray scattering; hydrogen bonding; ultra fast dynamics; density functional theory; multi-configurational calculations; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The work of this thesis is focused on investigation of electronic and molecular structure and dynamics a molecular species in solutions and minerals in relation to resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). The studies have been carried out by means of quantum chemistry calculations using density functional theory (DFT) and multi-configurational methods and quantum dynamics simulations using wave packet dynamics and ab initio molecular dynamics.

  5. 15. Electronic structure investigations of transition metal complexes through X-ray spectroscopy

    Författare :Meiyuan Guo; Marcus Lundberg; Hélène Bolvin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transition metal complexes; x-ray spectroscopy; electronic structures; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Catalysts based on the first-row (3d) transition metals are commonly seen in chemical and biological reactions. To understand the role of the transition metal in the catalyst, the element specific technique core level spectroscopy is used to probe the electronic structure and geometric properties centered around the metal site.
