Abstract
This talk will highlight recent developments enabling first principles Monte Carlo (FPMC) simulations for which energies are calculated on the fly using Kohn-Sham density functional theory. Applications of FPMC to the prediction of vapor-liquid equilibria for water, methanol, and methane, adsorption isotherms for gas molecules in a metal-organic framework with undercoordinated metal nodes, and reaction equilibria in compressed vapors and in porous materials will be discussed.
Series This talk is part of the Theory - Chemistry Research Interest Group series.
