The results of density functional theory potential surface investigations are presented for small ZnS, ZnSe, CdS, and CdSe clusters, up to the heptamer. Clusters of CdSe are investigated further by geometry optimizations of larger crystal structure sections with up to 198 atoms that correspond to the wurtzite modification. In addition to structures and energies of these clusters, we present electron affinities, ionization potentials as well as electronic excitation spectra, obtained from time dependent density functional theory.
Quantum chemistry methods require various linear algebra routines for symmetric matrices, for example, diagonalization or Cholesky decomposition for positive matrices. We present a small set of these basic routines that are efficient and minimize memory requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
