Dear CCL members,

I have known recently about the photo-acoustic phenomenon:
some photo-active crystals (or crystals in polymer matrixes)
sounds during the UV-irradiation. The energy of the photo-chemical
reaction is converted to the phonon energy during the exposure.
The resulting acoustic spectrum is very complex and may include
some important information about the crystal.

As far as I know the theory of this phenomenon does not exist yet
(am I wrong?) Is there anybody who worked on this problem,
i.e. who tried to model the photo-acoustic energy conversion or
tried to develop the theory of this phenomenon?
Could anybody tell me about the existing approaches to the problem?
I should greatly appreciate receiving your references, advices or
opinions on the theoretical (and experimental too) consideration
of photo-acoustic spectra.

The answers may be summarized.

Best regards, Stanislav Ignatov.

Most programs that import EPS files can also scale them (note that I
wrote "EPS", not "PS"). This is sufficient for most applications that
I can think of. If I do have to change the size of a PostScript image
manually, I simply add a statement using a standard text editor.
The statement is something like
   1.5 2. scale
(which will scale everything that follows by 1.5 in the x direction
and by 2 in the y direction). Where exactly to put it unfortunately
depends on the way the original file was created. In general, it
should be as close to the beginning as possible (although the
patched file might then no longer follow the conventions for
header comments). In practice trial and error might be the best
solution, if learning PostScript in detail looks like too much
of an effort.

Dear Netters,

recently a friend came up with the problem of geometry optimization of
deuterated species. He is expecting slighthly different geometries for
the different isotopic species that are not only originated in the 
zero point vibrations.
Packages like GAMESS and gaussian only use isotopic information in
frequency calculations. Are there any other packages that use this
information in geometry optimizations.

Thank you,
Jochen

Not quite. Unfortunately the term "Encapsulated PostScript" is used
for two different things. Originally it referred to a special kind of
PostScript file with some limitations (e.g. only one page) and a
special set of comments indicating size, fonts etc. The idea is that
programs can read in these EPS files and integrate them into a larger
PostScript document. Any desktop publisher can do that, and also some
graphics programs and the TeX dvips program. Any EPS file is a valid
PostScript file, but the inverse is not necessarily true. And of
course EPS files are just as machine-independent as general PS files,
although some EPS files may include additional information (such as a
preview bitmap) that might not be useful on all platforms. Most
programs that produce images in PostScript format can produce EPS or
even do so automatically.

The confusion about EPS began when some programs (e.g. Adobe Illustrator)
started to usea *subset* of EPS as an ordinary graphics file format that
can be read in and analyzed without having a full PostScript interpreter.
Instead of choosing a distinct name for this subset, people started
to call this "EPS" too. There is some variation in the format for this
kind of file, i.e. it can't be interchanged freely between platforms
and programs.

  number = "23",

  abstract = {A consistent force field for the simulation of protonated
    aluminosilicates is presented. It has been developed on the basis of
    ab initio calculations on molecular models following a method proposed
    in a previous paper (J. Phys. Chem. 1994, 98, 1238). The molecular models
    consist of SiO4 and protonated AlO4 tetrahedra connected to chains, rings,
    and cages. The ab initio calculations used a ''double-zeta plus
    polarization'' basis set on the Si, Al, and H atoms and a ''triple-zeta
    plus polarization'' one on the O atoms. The calculated structures of the
    finite models yield a structural model of Bornsted acidic sites which is
    consistent with observed data but more complete than models derived from
    experiments. Compared with these ab initio results the derived force field
    predicts reasonable structures for aluminosilicates, but the errors are
    larger than the errors that our all-silica potential yielded for all-silica
    polymorphs. A new method is proposed for calculating the atomic charges as
    a function of the structure, and the corresponding potential results in
    better structure predictions. The force field is applied to the calculation
    of the local structures of different bridging hydroxyl groups in faujasite,
    and it is shown that results of the same accuracy as with a shell model
    potential are obtained. The predictions for a H-faujasite (Si/Al = 2.43)
    are consistent with mean bond distances and angles deduced from neutron
    diffraction data.}

Hello,
I would like to use Iris Explorer to make pretty pictures for a publication.
They consist of molecules and potential energy isosurfaces and slices.
So far, they look very nice on the screen but not so nice printed.
My questions:
a) How does one get a file (ps or tiff) with a resolution higher than
the screen resolution from Explorer?
b) Does anyone has a BallStick module that makes nicer balls for atoms
(i.e. more triangles).

Thanks in advance,  Gert

NIST is assembling a database of calculations relevant to molecular 
thermochemistry. This computational database will tie in with the 
current NIST chemical database (http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry) of 
experimental enthalpies, heat capacities, entropies, ionization energies 
and appearance energies. We are interested in the same quantities that 
have been obtained through computational chemistry (ab initio, density 
functional theory, semiempirical, molecular mechanics). In addition we 
want properties relevant to the derivation of thermochemical data, such 
as absolute energies, geometries, and vibrational frequencies.

The goal is to have an evaluated database for use by both computational 
and non-computational chemists, with a web access similar to or included 
in the WebBook mentioned above for easy access. 

There are existing databases which we know about, such as Carl Melius' 
database on his BAC-MP4 calculations: 
(http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/cgi-bin/carlbrowser.tcl) 
At the start of this project, I would like to know what other databases 
are already available, and what is desired in a database. 
So my questions are:

What other databases of computational information relevant to 
thermochemistry are available? How are they accessed? 

What databases do you use? What databases do you want? How should they 
be accessed?

Dear CCL,

I read the postings of a year or two ago regarding the use of effective 
core potentials in ab initio calculations, and I would like to submit a 
few questions on this subject.

As I understand it, ECPs were developed primarily to speed up
calculations by reducing the number of electrons that needed to be
considered independently.  An added benefit was that relativistic energy
corrections could then be made for the electrons in the core.  Since core
electrons aren't thought to participate much in bonding, this was
justified.  So my first question is, If I am doing a *geometry
optimization* (and don't care about what the energy is) on an
organometallic complex, and can afford to use an all-electron basis,
should I do so?  In other words, does the use of an ECP generally have a 
neglible effect upon the geometry? 

I know that relativistic effects increase with atomic number.  Are such 
effects already drastic on first-row transition metals, or do they become 
significant (in terms of energy or geometry) only by the second-row?

After looking over the literature on this subject, I am confused as to
whether there is a difference between an "effective core potential" and a
"pseudopotential" for the core.  I use Gaussian 94/Rev. C.3, and when I
tried to input the PPs of Dolg, et al. [JCP 86 (1987) 866], the program
would not accept them, but seemed to be expecting information on the
different "projections", like P-D, S-D, and so forth.  I'm not sure what
these are, and in any case, they are not explicity described by Dolg, et
al., so I don't know whether the problem is one of format or not.

I shall collect and post all responses!

Thank you,

In surfing the World Wide Web I have found that Web sites with useful
chemical data such as enthalpies of formation are scattered among the
thousands of sites which serve a promotional function.  I have collected
these nuggets and organized them according to discipline and subdisciplines
in chemistry and chemical physics.  The URL for the Web page which I have
named MolData is

   http://pages.pomona.edu/~wsteinmetz/moldata.html

I welcome your comments.

Both Explorer 2.2.2 and 3.0 come with the EyeBalls module that will do
what you want. Make sure the "unsupported" distribution is installed.
