We have made a formulation in which the response of the electron density through the solution of the coupled perturbed Kohn-Sham (CPKS) equations has to be obtained only once, instead of iteratively as in the case of completely analytic procedure. Our method is based on a numerical finite-field solution of derivative KS operator, followed by analytic solution of CPKS equation. Further, using the response of the electron density, the dipole moment, polarizability and first-hyperpolarizability of the molecules are evaluated. The method is particularly useful for large systems. We tested our method using HF, BH, H2O and CO as test molecules, for which, high quality ab initio results are available. Further, our study of possible incorporation of non-dynamical electron correlation by studying BH and HF at several internuclear distances is discussed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Conference on Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering (ICCMSE 2005), Corinth, GREECE, OCT 21-26, 2005</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sophy, K.

Applicability of the local HSAB rule, in context with the Li-Evans' generalized HSAB principle suggesting the hard-hard interactions to be controlled by minimum Fukui function, has been illustrated. Global and local reactivity descriptors have been computed by carrying out DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-31++G** level using Mulliken and NPA methods for charge analysis.

Three supercells, namely, 2 x 2 x x 3 x 1 x 1 and 5 x 1 x 1 are used for generating configurations with varying amounts (fractions x=0.0625, 0.1, and 0.167) of impurities. The analyses of band structure and density of states (DOS) show that, when a Mg atom is replaced by Al, the band gap vanishes as the extra electron occupies the conduction band minimum. In the case of Si-substitution, additional states are generated within the band gap of pure MgH2-significontly reducing the gap in the process. The reduced band gaps cause the Mg-H bond to become more susceptible to dissociation. For all the fractions, the calculated reaction energies for the stepwise removal of H-2 molecules from Al- and Si-substituted MgH2 ore much lower than for H-2 removal from pure MgH2. The reduced stability is also reflected in the comparatively smaller heats of formation (Delta H-f) of the substituted MgH2 systems. Si causes greater destabilization of MgH2 than Al for each x.

The intramolecular reactivity of the clusters was analyzed using density functional-based reactivity descriptors. The work shows that whereas the structural properties and vibrational modes are considerably affected by the relativistic effects, the reactivity trends based on Fukui function calculation on various atoms within this cluster remain unaffected by the absence or presence of relativistic effects. The reactivity descriptors reveal that the vertex atoms are the most reactive ones in Au(20) toward a nucleophilic attack. On the other hand, atoms connecting the missing vertex edge with the pyramid base along with the vertex atom are the most reactive for a nucleophilic attack in Au(19). The atoms lying at the center of each face are favorable for an electrophilic attack in both cases. Interestingly, the atoms with a missing cap in Aulg are highly favorable for electrophilic attack, and Au(20) has more sites for a favorable nucleophilic attack.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.520</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pal, Sourav</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Putz, M.

In the present work, density functional theory based calculations reveal doped aluminum clusters to be highly reactive toward molecular nitrogen and hence are prospective materials for its activation at low temperatures. Calculations on silicon and phosphorus doped aluminum clusters with 5-8 atoms demonstrate an enhanced N-2 activation with respect to their pristine ground state and high energy counterparts. This increased efficiency of N-2 activation by doped ground state Al clusters is corroborated by an increment of the N N bond length, a red shift in N N bond stretching frequency, and adsorption energy (E-ad). Ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations demonstrate consequential efficiency of doped clusters toward dinitrogen activation at finite temperature. The ability of doped clusters toward activation of molecular nitrogen is site and shape sensitive. In short, this theoretical study highlights the critical role of doping foreign impurities for future endeavors in the design of cost-effective and efficient catalysts for N-2 activation at ambient temperatures. This observation may spur further studies in the field of aluminum nanocatalysis by doping silicon and phosphorus atom in aluminum clusters.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;4.509&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Deepak</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krishnamurty, Sailaja</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pal, Sourav</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen on BN-doped graphene-supported aluminum clusters</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Physical Chemistry C</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">121</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26493-26498</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The present work demonstrates dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen on supported and unsupported aluminum Wclusters (Al-n, n = 4-8, 13) using density functional theory based calculations.
