The Neaton Group
We are a multidisciplinary theory and computation group working at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and materials science. We interact closely with experimental groups to guide and be inspired by studies of new materials and phenomena in the context of nanoscience and renewable energy applications, and to validate and further develop our understanding of condensed phase systems. More » We are part of the Theory of Nanostructured Materials Facility of the Molecular Foundry, a DOE nanoscience center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Free access to our computational tools and expertise is available through the Molecular Foundry User Program. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
 Predicted adsorption behavior of small molecules at open-metal sites in MOF-74 variants provides insight into gas storage and separation properties of nanoporous materials.
 Self-energy corrected DFT calculation of spin-dependent transport, within non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) framework.
SrTiO3 may be engineered for more efficient absorption of solar energy.
 Ligand choice can enhance carbon dioxide's ability to bind to MOFs by a factor of 2 to 3, yielding clues for making better carbon-capture systems.
 Visualizing optical excitations in a pentacene crystal reveals a delocalized exciton wavefunction with charge transfer character.
