Abstract
We test the performance of the polarizable embedding variational quantum eigensolver self-consistent field (PE-VQE-SCF) model for computing electric field gradients with comparisons to conventional complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) calculations and experimental results. We compute quadrupole coupling constants for ice VIII and ice IX. We find close agreement of the quantum-computing PE-VQE-SCF results with the results from the classical PE-CASSCF calculations and with experiment. Furthermore, we observe that the inclusion of the environment is crucial for obtaining results that match the experimental data. The calculations for ice VIII are within the experimental uncertainty for both CASSCF and VQE-SCF for oxygen and lie close to the experimental value for ice IX as well. With the VQE-SCF, which is based on an adaptive derivative-assembled problem-tailored (ADAPT) ansatz, we find that the inclusion of the environment and the size of the different basis sets do not directly affect the gate counts. However, by including an explicit environment, the wavefunction and therefore the optimization problem become more complicated, which usually results in the need to include more operators from the operator pool, thereby increasing the depth of the circuit.

Abstract
K-means clustering, as a classic unsupervised machine learning algorithm, is the key step to select the interpolation sampling points in interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF) decomposition for hybrid functional electronic structure calculations. Real-valued K-means clustering for accelerating the ISDF decomposition has been demonstrated for large-scale hybrid functional enabled ab initio molecular dynamics (hybrid AIMD) simulations within plane-wave basis sets where the Kohn-Sham orbitals are real-valued. However, it is unclear whether such K-means clustering works for complex-valued Kohn-Sham orbitals. Here, we propose an improved weight function defined as the sum of the square modulus of complex-valued Kohn-Sham orbitals in K-means clustering for hybrid AIMD simulations. Numerical results demonstrate that the K-means algorithm with a new weight function yields smoother and more delocalized interpolation sampling points, resulting in smoother energy potential, smaller energy drift, and longer time steps for hybrid AIMD simulations compared to the previous weight function used in the real-valued K-means algorithm. In particular, we find that this improved algorithm can obtain more accurate oxygen-oxygen radial distribution functions in liquid water molecules and a more accurate power spectrum in crystal silicon dioxide compared to the previous K-means algorithm. Finally, we describe a massively parallel implementation of this ISDF decomposition to accelerate large-scale complex-valued hybrid AIMD simulations containing thousands of atoms (2,744 atoms), which can scale up to 5,504 CPU cores on modern supercomputers.

Abstract
The H2O and H2O2 molecules resemble each other in a multitude of ways as has been noted in the literature. Here, we present density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the H2O2(s) and H2O2·2H2O(s) crystals and make selected comparisons with ice polymorphs. The performance of a number of dispersion-corrected density functionals-both self-consistent and a posteriori ones-are assessed, and we give special attention to the D3 correction and its effects. The D3 correction to the lattice energies is large: for H2O2(s) the D3 correction constitutes about 25% of the lattice energy using PBE, much more for RPBE, much less for SCAN, and it primarily arises from non-H-bonded interactions out to about 5 Å.The large D3 corrections to the lattice energies are likely a consequence of several effects: correction for missing dispersion interaction, the ability of D3 to capture and correct various other kinds of limitations built into the underlying DFT functionals, and finally some degree of cell-contraction-induced polarization enhancement. We find that the overall best-performing functionals of the twelve examined are optPBEvdW and RPBE-D3. Comparisons with DFT assessments for ices in the literature show that where the same methods have been used, the assessments largely agree.

Abstract
This manuscript provides an overview of the current state of the art in terms of the molecular modelling of the thermophysical properties of fluids. It is intended to manage the expectations and serve as guidance to practising physical chemists, chemical physicists and engineers in terms of the scope and accuracy of the more commonly available intermolecular potentials along with the peculiarities of the software and methods employed in molecular simulations while providing insights on the gaps and opportunities available in this field. The discussion is focused around case studies which showcase both the precision and the limitations of frequently used workflows.

Abstract
We introduce a new formulation of the many-body expansion (MBE) for periodic systems and apply it to 7 ice polymorphs (Ih, II, VIII, IX, XIII, XIV, and XV). This new formulation is built via a hierarchical procedure that connects gas-phase clusters that mimic unit cells over finite supercells to infinite solids. For periodic systems, the method is validated by showing that the lattice energies computed up to the 4-body in the MBE reproduce the lattice energies obtained using periodic boundary conditions with an Ewald summation for the 7 ice polymorphs. This development makes it possible to quantify, for the first time, the many-body contributions to the lattice energy of various ice polymorphs, which vary significantly among the 7 ice phases, amounting to between 7 and 24% of the total lattice energies. This development opens the door for obtaining insights into solid-state properties, while leveraging the computational benefits of the MBE.

Abstract
The anomalous volume isotope effect (VIE) of ice Ih is calculated and analyzed based on the quasi-harmonic approximation to account for nuclear quantum effects in the Helmholtz free energy. While a lot of recently developed polarizable many-body potential functions give a normal VIE contrary to experimental results, we find that one of them, MB-pol, yields the anomalous VIE in good agreement with the most recent high-resolution neutron diffraction measurements─better than DFT calculations. The short-range three-body terms in the MB-pol function, which are fitted to CCSD(T) calculations, are found to have a surprisingly large influence. A vibrational mode group decomposition of the zero-point pressure together with a hitherto unconsidered benchmark value for the intramolecular stretching modes of H2O ice Ih obtained from Raman spectroscopy data unveils the reason for the VIE: a delicate competition between the latter and the librations.

Abstract
Molecular crystals of energetic materials (EMs) are denser than typical molecular crystals and are characterized by distinct intermolecular interactions between nitrogen-containing moieties. To assess the performance of dispersion-inclusive density functional theory (DFT) methods, we have compiled a data set of experimental sublimation enthalpies of 31 energetic materials. We evaluate the performance of three methods: the semilocal Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional coupled with the pairwise Tkatchenko-Scheffler (TS) dispersion correction, PBE with the many-body dispersion (MBD) method, and the PBE-based hybrid functional (PBE0) with MBD. Zero-point energy contributions and thermal effects are described using the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA), including explicit treatment of thermal expansion, which we find to be non-negligible for EMs. The lattice energies obtained with PBE0+MBD are the closest to experimental sublimation enthalpies with a mean absolute error of 9.89 kJ/mol. However, the state-of-the-art treatment of vibrational and thermal contributions makes the agreement with experiment worse. Pressure-volume curves are also examined for six representative materials. For pressure-volume curves, all three methods provide reasonable agreement with experimental data with mean absolute relative errors of 3% or less. Most of the intermolecular interactions typical of EMs, namely nitro-amine, nitro-nitro, and nitro-hydrogen interactions, are more sensitive to the choice of the dispersion method than to the choice of the exchange-correlation functional. The exception is π-π stacking interactions, which are also very sensitive to the choice of the functional. Overall, we find that PBE+TS, PBE+MBD, and PBE0+MBD do not perform as well for energetic materials as previously reported for other classes of molecular crystals. This highlights the importance of testing dispersion-inclusive DFT methods for diverse classes of materials and the need for further method development.

Abstract
While density functional theory (DFT) at the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) level has made great success in catalysis, it fails in some important systems such as the adsorption of the oxygen molecule on the Ag(111) surface. Previous DFT studies at the GGA level revealed theoretical inconsistencies on the adsorption energies and dissociation barriers of O2 on Ag(111) in comparison with the experimental conclusion. In this study, the strongly constrained and appropriately normed-revised Vydrov van Voorhis van der Waals correction functional (SCAN-rVV10) method at the meta-GGA level with the nonlocal van der Waals (vdW) force correction was used to reinvestigate the adsorption properties of O2 on the Ag(111) surface. The SCAN-rVV10 results successfully confirm the experimental observation that both molecular and dissociative adsorptions can exist for oxygen on Ag(111). The calculated adsorption energy for the physisorption state and the relevant dissociation energy barrier are close to the experimental data. It demonstrates that SCAN-rVV10 can outperform functionals at the GGA level for O2/Ag(111). Therefore, our findings suggest that SCAN-rVV10 can be the desired method for systems where the correct description of intermediate-ranged vdW forces is essential, such as the physisorption of small molecules on the solid surface.

Abstract
Local stretching force constants derived from periodic local vibrational modes at the vdW-DF2 density functional level have been employed to quantify the intrinsic hydrogen bond strength of 16 ice polymorphs, ices Ih, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVII, and XIX, that are stable under ambient to elevated pressures. Based on this characterization on 1820 hydrogen bonds, relationships between local stretching force constants and structural parameters such as hydrogen bond length and angle were identified. Moreover, different bond strength distributions, from uniform to inhomogeneous, were observed for the 16 ices and could be explained in relation to different local structural elements within ices, that is, rings, that consist of different hydrogen bond types. In addition, criteria for the classification of hydrogen bonds as strong, intermediate, and weak were introduced. The latter was used to explore a different dimension of the water-ice phase diagram. These findings will provide important guidelines for assessing the credibility of new ice structures.

Abstract
In the previous paper of this series [Ko, H.-Y. et al. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2020, 16, 3757-3785], we presented a theoretical and algorithmic framework based on a localized representation of the occupied space that exploits the inherent sparsity in the real-space evaluation of the exact exchange (EXX) interaction in finite-gap systems. This was accompanied by a detailed description of exx, a massively parallel hybrid message-passing interface MPI/OpenMP implementation of this approach in Quantum ESPRESSO (QE) that enables linear scaling hybrid density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) in the microcanonical/canonical (NVE/NVT) ensembles of condensed-phase systems containing 500-1000 atoms (in fixed orthorhombic cells) with a wall time cost comparable to semi-local DFT. In this work, we extend the current capabilities of exx to enable hybrid DFT-based AIMD simulations of large-scale condensed-phase systems with general and fluctuating cells in the isobaric-isoenthalpic/isobaric-isothermal (NpH/NpT) ensembles. The theoretical extensions to this approach include an analytical derivation of the EXX contribution to the stress tensor for systems in general simulation cells with a computational complexity that scales linearly with system size. The corresponding algorithmic extensions to exx include optimized routines that (i) handle both static and fluctuating simulation cells with non-orthogonal lattice symmetries, (ii) solve Poisson's equation in general/non-orthogonal cells via an automated selection of the auxiliary grid directions in the Natan-Kronik representation of the discrete Laplacian operator, and (iii) evaluate the EXX contribution to the stress tensor. Using this approach, we perform a case study on a variety of condensed-phase systems (including liquid water, a benzene molecular crystal polymorph, and semi-conducting crystalline silicon) and demonstrate that the EXX contributions to the energy and stress tensor simultaneously converge with an appropriate choice of exx parameters. This is followed by a critical assessment of the computational performance of the extended exx module across several different high-performance computing architectures via case studies on (i) the computational complexity due to lattice symmetry during NpT simulations of three different ice polymorphs (i.e., ice Ih, II, and III) and (ii) the strong/weak parallel scaling during large-scale NpT simulations of liquid water. We demonstrate that the robust and highly scalable implementation of this approach in the extended exx module is capable of evaluating the EXX contribution to the stress tensor with negligible cost (<1%) as well as all other EXX-related quantities needed during NpT simulations of liquid water (with a very tight 150 Ry planewave cutoff) in ≈5.2 s ((H2O)128) and ≈6.8 s ((H2O)256) per AIMD step. As such, the extended exx module presented in this work brings us another step closer to routinely performing hybrid DFT-based AIMD simulations of sufficient duration for large-scale condensed-phase systems across a wide range of thermodynamic conditions.

Abstract
We gauge the importance of self-interaction errors in density functional approximations (DFAs) for the case of water clusters. To this end, we used the Fermi-Löwdin orbital self-interaction correction method (FLOSIC) to calculate the binding energy of clusters of up to eight water molecules. Three representative DFAs of the local, generalized gradient, and metageneralized gradient families [i.e., local density approximation (LDA), Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE), and strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN)] were used. We find that the overbinding of the water clusters in these approximations is not a density-driven error. We show that, while removing self-interaction error does not alter the energetic ordering of the different water isomers with respect to the uncorrected DFAs, the resulting binding energies are corrected toward accurate reference values from higher-level calculations. In particular, self-interaction-corrected SCAN not only retains the correct energetic ordering for water hexamers but also reduces the mean error in the hexamer binding energies to less than 14 meV/[Formula: see text] from about 42 meV/[Formula: see text] for SCAN. By decomposing the total binding energy into many-body components, we find that large errors in the two-body interaction in SCAN are significantly reduced by self-interaction corrections. Higher-order many-body errors are small in both SCAN and self-interaction-corrected SCAN. These results indicate that orbital-by-orbital removal of self-interaction combined with a proper DFA can lead to improved descriptions of water complexes.

Abstract
Abstract
Due to their great importance in science, technology, and the life sciences, water and ice have been extensively investigated over many years. In particular, hexagonal ice Ih has been of great interest since it is the most common form of ice, and several modifications, Ih(a), Ih(b) and Ih(c) are known, whose structural details are still under discussion. In this study, we present an alternative theoretical model, called Ih(d), for the hexagonal ice modification in space group P63/mmc (no. 194), based on first-principles calculations that have been performed using DFT-LDA, GGA-PBE, and hybrid B3LYP and PBE0 functionals.

Abstract
A new approach to estimate atomic energies is introduced. The method is based on utilization of experimental ionization energies as well as conversion of "n-electron atomic systems" to n "one-electron systems." Sample detail calculations are presented with typical graphs to show the distribution of different types of energy within an atom. The breakdown of atomic energies into kinetic, electron-nucleus attraction, and electron-electron repulsion is shown within an atom as well the total of energies of each type for elements. Then in a following step, the variations in kinetic, electron-electron, and electron-nucleus interaction energies of electrons as evidence for atomic shell changes are presented. Furthermore, the article overviews the spatial gaps between orbitals as an added evidence for existence of electronic shells. The findings in this article have significant implications for the structure of atoms and the layout of periodic table.

Abstract
This article relies only on experimental data rather than getting involved with theories, calculations, approximations, or interpolations. Experimental ionization energies of all atoms in the periodic table are collected and utilized to discover the order of electronic shells. The assumption in this paper is mainly the energy difference between atomic shells. In other words, one should observe an abrupt change in the energy moving from one atomic shell to another. Electronic energies within an atom are either kinetic or potential. Potential energy can be further broken into "electron-nucleus attraction" and "electron-electron repulsion" energies. The ionization energy that holds an electron onto an atom is equal to the balance of electronic energies. Electronic energies should show jumps and drops when moving from one atomic shell to another and ionization energy is the only part of total energy that can be obtained experimentally. Hence, the variations of experimental ionization energies between consecutive electrons were utilized to investigate the order of atomic shells. The variations of ionization energy were drawn versus the electron numbers to find abrupt changes in the energy, which are so-called "peaks". Then the observed peaks in the graphs were recorded as evidence for the order of atomic shells. The observed order of peaks did not completely match and support the order of atomic shells given by the well-known aufbau (or Madelung) rule. Thus, the observation is reported and a consistent view of the periodic table according to the new order is presented.

Abstract
The recent back-to-back findings of low-density porous ice XVI and XVII have rekindled the century-old field of the solid-state physics and chemistry of water. Experimentally, both ice XVI and XVII crystals can be produced by extracting guest atoms or molecules enclosed in the cavities of preformed ice clathrate hydrates. Herein, we examine more than 200 hypothetical low-density porous ices whose structures were generated according to a database of zeolite structures. Hitherto unreported porous EMT ice, named according to zeolite nomenclature, is identified to have an extremely low density of 0.5 g/cm3 and the largest internal cavity (7.88 Å in average radius). The EMT ice can be viewed as dumbbell-shaped motifs in a hexagonal close-packed structure. Our first-principles computations and molecular dynamics simulations confirm that the EMT ice is stable under negative pressures and exhibits higher thermal stability than other ultralow-density ices. If all cavities are fully occupied by hydrogen molecules, the EMT ice hydrate can easily outperform the record hydrogen storage capacity of 5.3 wt % achieved with sII hydrogen hydrate. Most importantly, in the reconstructed temperature-pressure (T-P) phase diagram of water, the EMT ice is located at deeply negative pressure regions below ice XVI and at higher temperature regions next to FAU. Last, the phonon spectra of empty-sII, FAU, EMT, and other zeolite-like ice structures are computed by using the dispersion corrected vdW-DF2 functional. Compared with those of ice XI (0.93 g/cm3), both the bending and stretching vibrational modes of the EMT ice are blue-shifted due to their weaker hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
Clathrate hydrates are crystalline compounds consisting of water molecules forming cages (so-called "host") inside of which "guest" molecules are encapsulated depending on the thermodynamic conditions of formation (systems stable at low temperature and high pressure). These icelike systems are naturally abundant on Earth and are generally expected to exist on icy celestial bodies. Carbon monoxide hydrate might be considered an important component of the carbon cycle in the solar system since CO gas is one of the predominant forms of carbon. Intriguing fundamental properties have also been reported: the CO hydrate initially forms in the sI structure (kinetically favored) and transforms into the sII structure (thermodynamically stable). Understanding and predicting the gas hydrate structural stability then become essential. The aim of this work is, thereby, to study the structural and energetic properties of the CO hydrate using density functional theory (DFT) calculations together with neutron diffraction measurements. In addition to the comparison of DFT-derived structural properties with those from experimental neutron diffraction, the originality of this work lies in the DFT-derived energy calculations performed on a complete unit cell (sI and sII) and not only by considering guest molecules confined in an isolated water cage (as usually performed for extracting the binding energies). Interestingly, an excellent agreement (within less than 1% error) is found between the measured and DFT-derived unit cell parameters by considering the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (denoted PBE) functional. Moreover, a strategy is proposed for evaluating the hydrate structural stability on the basis of potential energy analysis of the total nonbonding energies (i.e., binding energy and water substructure nonbonding energy). It is found that the sII structure is the thermodynamically stable hydrate phase. In addition, increasing the CO content in the large cages has a stabilizing effect on the sII structure, while it destabilizes the sI structure. Such findings are in agreement with the recent experimental results evidencing the structural metastability of the CO hydrate.

Abstract
We propose that crystalline ionic hydrates constitute a valuable resource for benchmarking theoretical methods for aqueous ionic systems. Many such structures are known from the experimental literature, and they contain a large variety of water-water and ion-water structural motifs. Here we have collected a data set (CRYSTALWATER50) of 50 structurally unique "in-crystal" water molecules, involved in close to 100 nonequivalent O-H···O hydrogen bonds. A dozen well-known DFT functionals were benchmarked with respect to their ability to describe these experimental structures and their OH vibrational frequencies. We find that the PBE, RPBE-D3, and optPBE-vdW methods give the best H-bond distances and that anharmonic OH frequencies generated from B3LYP//optPBE-vdW energy scans outperform the other methods, i.e., here we performed B3LYP energy scans along the OH stretching coordinate while the rest of the structure was kept fixed at the optPBE-vdW-optimized positions.

Abstract
The formation of gas hydrates and clathrates critically depends on the interaction between the host water network and the guest gas species. Density functional calculations can struggle to quantitatively capture these dispersion-type interactions. Here, we report wave function-based calculations on hydrogen hydrates that combine periodic Hartree-Fock with a localized treatment of electronic correlation. We show that local second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (LMP2) reproduces the stability of the different filled-ice-like hydrates in excellent agreement with experimental data. In contrast to various dispersion-corrected density functional theory implementations, LMP2 correctly identifies the pressures needed to stabilize the C0, C1, and C2 hydrates and does not find a spurious region of stability for an ice-Ih-based dihydrate. Our results suggest that LMP2 or similar approaches can provide quantitative insights into the mechanisms of formation and eventual decomposition of molecular host-guest compounds.

Abstract
We have formed the long-sought He-clathrate. This was achieved by refilling helium into ice XVI, opening a new synthesis route for exotic forms of clathrate hydrates. The process was followed by neutron diffraction; structures and cage fillings were established. The stabilizing attractive van der Waals interactions are enhanced by multiple cage fillings with theoretically up to four helium atoms per large cage and up to one per small cage; He-clathrate hydrates can be considered as a solid-state equivalent of the clustering of small apolar entities dissolved in the liquid state of water. Unlike most other guests, helium easily enters and leaves the water cages at temperatures well below 100 K, hampering applications as a gas storage material. Despite the weak dispersive interactions, the inclusion of helium has a very significant effect on lattice constants; this is also established for helium inclusion in ice Ih and suggests that lattice parameters are arguably the most sensitive measure to gauge dispersive water-gas interactions.

Abstract
Ice is one of the most extensively studied condensed matter systems. Yet, both experimentally and theoretically several new phases have been discovered over the last years. Here we report a large-scale density-functional-theory study of the configuration space of water ice. We geometry optimise 74,963 ice structures, which are selected and constructed from over five million tetrahedral networks listed in the databases of Treacy, Deem, and the International Zeolite Association. All prior knowledge of ice is set aside and we introduce "generalised convex hulls" to identify configurations stabilised by appropriate thermodynamic constraints. We thereby rediscover all known phases (I-XVII, i, 0 and the quartz phase) except the metastable ice IV. Crucially, we also find promising candidates for ices XVIII through LI. Using the "sketch-map" dimensionality-reduction algorithm we construct an a priori, navigable map of configuration space, which reproduces similarity relations between structures and highlights the novel candidates. By relating the known phases to the tractably small, yet structurally diverse set of synthesisable candidate structures, we provide an excellent starting point for identifying formation pathways.

Abstract
The accuracy of several local and non-local van der Waals (vdW) corrected exchange correlation functionals on the description of the effect of pressure on ice has been investigated. In a preliminary survey, the non-local vdW correction used in conjunction with the optPBE functional was shown to provide the best overall agreement on the structural parameters of ice Ih with experiments. More importantly, this combination reproduced correctly the recently observed crystal → crystal transformation in ice Ih at 80 K prior to amorphisation. The predicted transition pressure of 1.9 GPa is somewhat higher, showing that the current generation of vdW functionals are still not sufficiently accurate for the ice system. The existence of an intermediate crystalline state with a shear-hexagonal structure confirms the earlier prediction that the collapse of crystalline structure under compression originates from the softening of phonon modes in ice Ih’s basal plane.

Abstract
Water is of the utmost importance for life and technology. However, a genuinely predictive ab initio model of water has eluded scientists. We demonstrate that a fully ab initio approach, relying on the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) density functional, provides such a description of water. SCAN accurately describes the balance among covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals interactions that dictates the structure and dynamics of liquid water. Notably, SCAN captures the density difference between water and ice Ih at ambient conditions, as well as many important structural, electronic, and dynamic properties of liquid water. These successful predictions of the versatile SCAN functional open the gates to study complex processes in aqueous phase chemistry and the interactions of water with other materials in an efficient, accurate, and predictive, ab initio manner.

Abstract
The elastic constants of ice VIII and ice X phases under pressure have been determined at static 0 K conditions using first principles calculation. A step-like increase of the elastic constants of ice VIII phase occurred at 100-110 GPa due to hydrogen bond symmetrization. The elastic constants, and the pressure dependencies of these constants, of ice X and VIII are completely distinct. Due to these differences, these two phases can be distinguished on the basis of the elastic behavior. Conversely, the experimental elastic constant of C11 of ice VII gradually changes from an ice VIII like asymmetric hydrogen bond to a symmetric bond character within a wide pressure range. This finding suggests that the transition from ice VII to ice X starts around 30 GPa and completes at 110 GPa.
