Abstract (AI)
Actinide chemistry often lies beyond the applicability domain of the majority of modern theoretical tools due to high computational costs, relativistic effects, or just the absence of actinide data for semiempirical method fitting. On the other hand, radioactivity pushes the usage of computational methods instead of experimental ones. Here, we would like to present a novel relPBE functional as an actinide-fitted version of the PBE0 functional.
Key Findings
1
Actinide chemistry is often outside the applicability of many modern theoretical tools due to high computational costs, relativistic effects, and lack of actinide data for semiempirical fitting.
2
Radioactivity of actinides motivates greater reliance on computational methods instead of experiments.
3
The paper introduces relPBE, a novel actinide-fitted version of the PBE0 density functional tailored for actinide compounds.
