Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lars G M Pettersson"
- Lars G M Pettersson's research primarily focuses on the application of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in the analysis of X-ray absorption and emission spectra, particularly related to liquid water and various metal surfaces, thereby advancing theoretical predictions and experimental validation in spectroscopy.
- Recent findings indicate the importance of functional selection and the impact of the Tamm-Dancoff approximation in TDDFT calculations, leading to improved approaches for accurately reproducing experimental X-ray spectra and better understanding of electronic structures during chemical processes.
- Pettersson also explores nuclear quantum effects in confined fermionic systems and investigates the impact of nanoparticle spatial distribution on catalytic activity and stability, emphasizing the links between theoretical models and practical applications in catalysis and surface chemistry.
