Outline

• Electronic properties of water as obtained using DFT/GGA

• Interpretation of X-Ray-Absorption (XAS) spectra

• Electronic structure properties beyond GGA: GW results for water and approximate dielectric matrices

Hydrogen Bonds

~ 3.6 bonds /molecule, consistent with several expt.

Basic physical picture as provided by standard, quasi-tetrahedral model, is reproduced by DFT/GGA

Tetrahedral network

The first coordination shell contains~ 4.2 molecules

Ab-initio simulations of water at interfaces are carried out at 350/400 K instead of 300 K

Standard model is challenged by recent XAS experiments

Ph.Wernet et al. Science 2004 (A. Nilsson’s group, Stanford)

Comparison between XAS spectra measured for ice, ice surface and water with those obtained using structures from simulations and electronic structure from DFT, was used to suggest liquid water has only ~ 2 instead of ~4 HB/molecule

Page 4: Electronic properties of water Giulia Galli University of California, Davis

The electronic properties of water are qualitatively similar to those of ice—important details are different

“Isolated” excited state (LUMO) found in “small” cell/ point calculations of liquid water is unphysical [origin is numerical accuracy, e.g. k-point/BZ folding effect] and unrelated to LUMO of water dimer.

Isolated LUMO

64 molec.; pt.

Flat valence “bands”; highly dispersive low-lying conduction states with delocalized character (poorly described by MD cells with less than 256 molecules)

Both disorder of oxygen lattice and broken hydrogen bonds determine differences between ice and water XAS

Broken Hydrogen Bonds Disorder

•All current theoretical approaches (FCH, HCH, XCH) are consistent with available measurements and with quasi-tetrahedral model

•Experimental results only partially understood

•Improvement in the theory (description including SIC and possibly beyond DFT) needed to fully understand experimental data.

No evidence justifying the dismissal of quasi-tetrahedral model, based on current interpretations of XAS experiments

•Measured XAS spectra are only partially understood.

•Open question: how to get to a thorough, complete account of measured XAS using a sound electronic structure theory.

•This is first and foremost an electronic structure problem, not (or at least not yet) a structural determination problem.

•Once we have solved in a robust and convincing fashion the electronic structure problem, if issues in the interpretation of measured XAS remain, we may go back and ask questions about current structural models.

Possible asymmetry in HB of liquid water (?)

Excited state properties of water beyond DFT/GGA

• QMC may work for optical gaps and other specific energy differences (e.g. Stoke shifts), but it is difficult to generalize to spectra calculations

• Need for affordable and accurate calculations of excited state properties beyond DFT is widespread (e.g. realistic environment –solvation model for excited states; nanostructures for a variety of applications; systems under pressure; molecular electronics….):

GW calculations and approximate dielectric matrices

The locality of the static dielectric matrix of liquid water has been characterized by the MLDMs.

The effect of the dielectric response can be separated into localized (intra-molecular screening and inter-molecular screening within nearest neighbors) modes and delocalized modes.

The contribution of the delocalized modes can be replaced by model dielectric response.

Hybrid dielectric matrices including only a small number of true dielectric eigenmodes yield good accuracy in quasiparticle energy calculations.
