Article Abstract
Seven hexagonal 2D materials consisting of elements of the IIIA and VA groups (BN, BP, BAs, AlN, GaN, GaP, and GaAs) were theoretically studied using first-principles methods. Simultaneous convergence in all principal parameters of the accurate many-body perturbational GW approach and the subsequent Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) was necessary to achieve precise fundamental and optical gaps, exciton binding energies, and absorbance spectra. Various convergence rates of studied properties in the case of different materials were visualized and explained. Benchmark calculations show several 2D materials from this set that strongly absorb in the visible and ultraviolet parts of the spectra, and therefore can be promising materials for (opto)electronic applications.

Beyond Pairwise Interactions: How Interfacial Polarization Modulates Water Flow in Graphene Nanochannels.

Although incorporating many-body polarization effects is essential for accurately modeling water transport under nanoconfinement, the use of conventional pairwise additive force fields fails to account for polarization-induced charge redistribution at the interface. Using Grand Canonical Molecular Dynamics (GCMD) simulations, we demonstrate that explicitly incorporating many-body polarization effects to model graphene-water interactions as well as graphene flexibility is essential for accurately predicting water interfacial structure and dynamics under nanoconfinement. For narrow channels of 8 Å spacing, graphene polarization is shown to disrupt the confinement-induced ordering of water predicted using Lennard-Jones-based nonpolarizable force fields, resulting in (i) increased out-of-plane orientations of the water molecules, (ii) weakening of hydrogen bonding and hindering of water crystallization, and (iii) faster force decorrelation, resulting in lower interfacial friction.

The molecular origins of water's anomalous properties have long been a subject of scientific inquiry. The liquid-liquid phase transition hypothesis, which posits the existence of distinct low-density and high-density liquid states separated by a first-order phase transition terminating at a critical point, has gained increasing experimental and computational support and offers a thermodynamically consistent framework for many of water's anomalies. However, experimental challenges in avoiding crystallization near the postulated liquid-liquid critical point have focused attention to water's canonical glassy states: low-density and high-density amorphous ice.

The generalized many-body expansion for building density matrices (GMBE-DM), truncated at the one-body level and combined with a purification scheme, is applied to rank protein-ligand binding affinities across two cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) datasets and one Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) dataset, totaling 28 ligands. This quantum fragmentation-based method achieves strong correlation with experimental binding free energies (R = 0.84), while requiring less than 5 min per complex without extensive parallelization, making it highly efficient for rapid drug screening and lead prioritization.

Incremental full configuration interaction (iFCI) closely approximates the FCI limit with polynomial cost through a many-body expansion of the correlation energy, providing highly accurate total energies within a given basis set. To extend iFCI beyond previous basis set limitations, this work introduces a novel natural orbital (NO) screening approach, incremental NO full configuration interaction (iNO-FCI). By consideration of the importance of virtual orbital selection in the convergence of iFCI, iNO-FCI maximizes the consistency between orbitals selected for each correlated body.

Shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are among the most promising quantum sensors, offering high sensitivity and nanoscale spatial resolution. These systems are, however, prone to decoherence due to coupling with surface states. Here, we study subsurface NV centers embedded into large diamond slabs (8 nm) using various surface orientations (100 and 111) and terminations (hydrogen and nitrogen terminators).
