The structural and electronic properties of isolated linear and zigzag type polyacene molecules have been investigated by density functional theory calculations using B3LYP exchange-correlation functional with 6-31G(d) basis set. The zigzag polyacene molecules found to be energetically more stable than the linear structures and the optimized molecules of both types have planar geometries. In the present study, more attention has been given to the picene molecule which is a rival to pentacene molecule and has to be investigated for its potential applications in nanodevices. Furthermore, the energetics of two picene molecules with having different configurations have been calculated and the binding energies of dimers indicated that the shifted alignments have been energetically favored.

Density functional theory investigation of two-dimensional dipolar fermions in a harmonic trap
Toffoli, Hande; TANATAR, BİLAL (2014-08-13)
We investigate the behavior of polarized dipolar fermions in a two-dimensional harmonic trap in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) formalism using the local density approximation. We treat only a few particles interacting moderately. Important results were deduced concerning key characteristics of the system such as total energy and particle density. Our results indicate that, at variance with Coulombic systems, the exchangecorrelation component was found to provide a large contribution to...
Density functional theory for molecular multiphoton ionization in the perturbative regime
Toffolı, Danıele; Decleva, Piero (2012-10-07)
A general implementation of the lowest nonvanishing order perturbation theory for the calculation of molecular multiphoton ionization cross sections is proposed in the framework of density functional theory. Bound and scattering wave functions are expanded in a multicentric basis set and advantage is taken of the full molecular point group symmetry, thus enabling the application of the formalism to medium-size molecules. Multiphoton ionization cross sections and angular asymmetry parameters have been calcul...
