Article Abstract

Context: This study investigates the structural, mechanical and electronic properties of erythritol tetranitrate, 2,4-dinitro-1H-imidazole, 5-amino-3,4-dinitro-1H-pyrazole, 1,1'-dinitro-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-triazole, 1-(4-Nitro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-1H-tetrazole and ammonium dinitroguanidine. The calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with the experimental values, indicating that the adopted calculation method and model are reasonable. Based on the obtained elastic constants, the Voigt-Reuss-Hill method is used to calculate the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio for six energetic materials. Furthermore, the electronic properties are given and discussed.

Methods: All calculations in this study were performed using the CASTEP code. In the calculation, the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) function in the framework of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) was used as the exchange-correlation functional. Additionally, the Grimme dispersion correction method was utilized to address the weak intermoleculer interaction.

Stress engineering is an effective way to tune the performance of semiconductors, which has been verified in the work of inorganic and organic single-crystal semiconductors. However, due to the limitations of the vapor-phase growth preparation conditions, the deposited polycrystalline organic semiconductors are more susceptible to residual stress. Therefore, it is of great research significance to develop a low-cost stress engineering applicable to vapor-deposited semiconductors.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

We present a novel, flexible framework for electronic structure interfaces designed for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations, implemented in Python 3 using concepts of object-oriented programming. This framework streamlines the development of new interfaces by providing a reusable and extendable code base. It supports the computation of energies, gradients, various couplings─like spin-orbit couplings, nonadiabatic couplings, and transition dipole moments─and other properties for an arbitrary number of states with any multiplicities and charges.

Photoelectron angular distributions are reported for a series of aqueous potassium carboxylate solutions, ranging from bulk-solvated to strongly surface-active species. The quantitative information determined from this work demonstrates how the measured photoelectron angular distributions are influenced by the ions' increasing propensity for the surface in aqueous solutions. Our study provides insight into the relative depth and location of the carboxylate functional group, which is valuable for investigating the adsorption of organic molecules at liquid-vapor interfaces.
