We investigate the equation of states of the $beta$-polymorph of cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine (HMX) energetic molecular crystal using DFT-D2, a first-principles calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) with van der Waals (vdW) corrections. The atomic structures and equation of states under hydrostatic compressions are studied for pressures up to 100 GPa. We found that the N-N bonds along the minor axis of the ring are more sensitive to the variation of pressure, which indicates that they are potential weak spots in atomic level within a single molecule of $beta$-HMX. Our study suggested that the van der Waals interactions are critically important in modeling this molecular crystal.

Different stoichiometric configurations of graphane and graphene fluoride are investigated within density functional theory. Their structural and electronic properties are compared, and we indicate the similarities and differences among the various c
onfigurations. Large differences between graphane and graphene fluoride are found that are caused by the presence of charges on the fluorine atoms. A new configuration that is more stable than the boat configuration is predicted for graphene fluoride. We also perform GW calculations for the electronic band gap of both graphene derivatives. These band gaps and also the calculated Youngs moduli are at variance with available experimental data. This might indicate that the experimental samples contain a large number of defects or are only partially covered with H or F.
Paramagnetic molecules can show long spin-coherence times, which make them good candidates as quantum bits. Reducing the efficiency of the spin-phonon interaction is the primary challenge towards achieving long coherence times over a wide temperature
range in soft molecular lattices. The lack of a microscopic understanding about the role of vibrations in spin relaxation strongly undermines the possibility to chemically design better performing molecular qubits. Here we report a first-principles characterization of the main mechanism contributing to the spin-phonon coupling for a class of vanadium(IV) molecular qubits. Post Hartree Fock and Density Functional Theory are used to determine the effect of both reticular and intra-molecular vibrations on the modulation of the Zeeman energy for four molecules showing different coordination geometries and ligands. This comparative study provides the first insight into the role played by coordination geometry and ligand field strength in determining the spin-lattice relaxation time of molecular qubits, opening the avenue to a rational design of new compounds.
We discuss the key steps that have to be followed to calculate coherent quantum transport in molecular and atomic-scale systems, making emphasis on the ab-initio Gaussian Embedded Cluster Method recently developed by the authors. We present various r
esults on a simple system such as a clean Au nanocontact and the same nanocontact in the presence of hydrogen that illustrate the applicability of this method in the study and interpretation of a large range of experiments in the field of molecular electronics.
Electronic and magnetic properties of Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$As, obtained from first-principles calculations employing the hybrid HSE06 functional, are presented for $x=6.25%$ and $12.5%$ under pressures ranging from 0 to 15 GPa. In agreement with photoem
ission experiments at ambient pressure, we find for $x=6.25%$ that non-hybridized Mn-3$d$ levels and Mn-induced states reside about 5 and 0.4 eV below the Fermi energy, respectively. For elevated pressures, the Mn-3$d$ levels, Mn-induced states, and the Fermi level shift towards higher energies, however, the position of the Mn-induced states relative to the Fermi energy remains constant due to hybridization of the Mn-3$d$ levels with the valence As-4$p$ orbitals. We also evaluate, employing Monte Carlo simulations, the Curie temperature ($T_{{rm C}}$). At zero pressure, we obtain $T_{{rm C}}=181$K, whereas the pressure-induced changes in $T_{{rm C}}$ are d$T_{{rm C}}$/d$p=+4.3$K/GPa for $x=12.5%$ and an estimated value of d$T_{{rm C}}$/d$papprox+2.2$K/GPa for $x=6.25%$ under pressures up to 6 GPa. The determined values of d$T_{{rm C}}$/d$p$ compare favorably with d$T_{{rm C}}$/d$p=+$(2-3) K/GPa at $pleq1.2$GPa found experimentally and estimated within the $p$-$d$ Zener model for Ga$_{0.93}$Mn$_{0.07}$As in the regime where hole localization effects are of minor importance [M. Gryglas-Borysiewicz $et$ $al$., Phys. Rev. B ${bf 82}$, 153204 (2010)].
The ground state band structure, magnetic moments, charges and population numbers of electronic shells of Cu and Fe atoms have been calculated for chalcopyrite CuFeS2 using density functional theory. The comparison between our calculation results and
experimental data (X-ray photoemission, X-ray absorption and neutron diffraction spectroscopy) has been made. Our calculations predict a formal oxidation state for chalcopyrite as Cu$^{1+}$Fe$^{3+}$S$_{2}$$^{2-}$. However, the assignment of formal valence state to transition metal atoms appears to be oversimplified. It is anticipated that the valence state can be confirmed experimentally by nuclear magnetic and nuclear quadrupole resonance and Mossbauer spectroscopy methods.
