Optical magnetometers measure magnetic fields with extremely high precision and without cryogenics. However, at geomagnetic fields, important for applications from landmine removal to archaeology, they suffer from nonlinear Zeeman splitting, leading to systematic dependence on sensor orientation. We present experimental results on a method of eliminating this systematic error, using the hexadecapole atomic polarization moment. In particular, we demonstrate selective production of the atomic hexadecapole moment at Earth's magnetic field and verify its immunity to nonlinear Zeeman splitting. This technique promises to eliminate directional errors in all-optical atomic magnetometers, potentially improving their measurement accuracy by several orders of magnitude.

FFLUX, a novel force field based on quantum chemical topology, can perform molecular dynamics simulations with flexible multipole moments that change with geometry. This is enabled by Gaussian process regression machine learning models, which accurately predict atomic energies and multipole moments up to the hexadecapole. We have constructed a model of the formamide monomer at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory capable of sub-kJ mol accuracy, with the maximum prediction error for the molecule being 0.

A polarizable potential function describing the interaction between acetonitrile molecules is introduced. The molecules are described as rigid and linear, with three mass sites corresponding to the CH group (methyl, Me), the central carbon atom (C), and the nitrogen atom (N). The electrostatic interaction is represented using a single-center multipole expansion as has been done previously for HO [Wikfeldt et al.

We present a classical induction model to evaluate the three-body ion-water-water (I-W-W) and water-water-water (W-W-W) interactions in aqueous ionic systems. The classical description of the induction energy is based on electrostatic distributed multipoles up to hexadecapole and distributed polarizabilities up to quadrupole-quadrupole on the O and H atoms of water. The monatomic ions were described by a point charge and a dipole-dipole polarizability, while for the polyatomic ions, distributed multipoles up to hexadecapole and distributed polarizabilities up to quadrupole-quadrupole were used.

The experimental electron density distribution (EDD) of 1-methyluracil (1-MUR) was obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments at 23 K. Four different structural models fitting an extensive set of XRD data to a resolution of (sinθ/λ) = 1.143 Å are compared.
