Results indicate that Pt-embedding is more energy favourable by replacing Te atom of the Janus WSTe monolayer with the formation energy of −1.78 eV, narrowing the bandgap to 0.926 eV. Besides, the Pt-WSTe monolayer performs weak physisorption upon CO2 with adsorption energy (Ead) of −0.17 eV, while strong chemisorption upon NO2 and SO2 with Ead of −1.43 and −1.17 eV, respectively. The analysis of electronic property uncovers the sensing potential of Pt-WSTe monolayer as a resistance-type NO2 or SO2 gas sensor with higher sensing response upon SO2, and the analysis of work function (WF) uncovers the sensing potential of Pt-WSTe monolayer as a WF-type NO2 or SO2 gas sensor with higher sensing response upon NO2. We are hopeful that the findings in this work can help to explore the possible application of Pt-WSTe monolayer in the gas sensing field and also to make some other explorations on Janus WSTe-based material for gas detections.KEYWORDS: Pt-WSTe monolayerfirst-principles theoryXO2gas sensing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 52207175).","PeriodicalId":18817,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Physics","volume":"13 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134991297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to obtain a cost-effective laser pulse that can selectively excite the vibrational state and cause photo-dissociation of the C–H bond in a methane molecule. We have optimised both sinusoidal and linear ramped pulses using the proposed technique, and incorporated a linear chirping in the field as well. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in designing laser pulses for targeted molecular excitation and dissociation.KEYWORDS: Photo-dissociationlaser pulse designoptimal control theorysimulated annealing techniqueFourier grid Hamiltonian method AcknowledgementsThe work was supported by UGC, Govt. of India, under CAS program [Grant no.

By using highly correlated ab initio quartic force fields (QFFs) from explicitly correlated coupled cluster theory, a complete set of rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants for D2CS and cis/trans-DCSD isomers have been produced. Comparing our new ab initio results for D2CS with new rotational spectroscopy laboratory data for the same species, the accuracy of the computed B and C rotational constants is within 0.1% while the A constant is only slightly higher. Additionally, quantum chemical vibrational frequencies are also provided, and these spectral reference data and new experimental rotational lines will provide additional references for potential observation of these deuterated sulfur species with either ground-based radio telescopes or space-based infrared observatories.Keywords: Sulfur chemistryab initio calculationsmolecular spectroscopylaboratory spectroscopy AcknowledgmentsWe dedicate this article to the memory of Tim Lee, who passed away on November 3, 2022.
