We employ classical density-functional theory to investigate the phase diagram of an assembly of mutually penetrable, parallel ellipsoids interacting via the generalized exponential model of index four (GEM-4) pair potential. We show that the crystal phases of the system are obtained from those of the spherically symmetric GEM-4 model by rescaling the lattice vectors. Performing this rescaling in combination with an arbitrary rotation of the lattice leads to infinitely many different structures with the same free energy, thereby implying their infinite degeneracy.

We investigate the phase ordering (pattern formation) of systems of two-dimensional core-shell particles using Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations and classical density functional theory (DFT). The particles interact via a pair potential having a hard core and a repulsive square shoulder. Our simulations show that on cooling, the liquid state structure becomes increasingly characterized by long wavelength density modulations and on further cooling forms a variety of other phases, including clustered, striped, and other patterned phases.

Rapid generation of a plausible reaction path connecting a given reactant and product in advance is crucial for the efficient computation of precise reaction paths or transition states. We propose a computationally efficient potential energy based on the molecular structure to generate such paths. This potential energy has a flat bottom consisting of structures without atomic collisions while preserving nonreactive chemical bonds, bond angles, and partial planar structures.

Using an ab initio methodology that incorporates pseudopotential technique in conjunction with pair potential approaches, core polarization potentials (CPP), large basis sets of Gaussian type, and full configuration interaction calculations, we investigate interaction of neutral and charged Sr( = 0,1,2) with helium atom. In this context, the core-core interaction of Sr-He is included using an accurately performed potential for the ground state at CCSD(T) level of calculation. Also, the potential energy curves and permanent and transition dipole moments of the ground state and numerous excited states have been performed respectively for SrHe and SrHe systems.
