In this work, an accurate potential energy curve (PEC) for the ground electronic state of phosphorus mononitride (PN) molecule has been determined from a variationally improved Hulburt-Hirschfelder (VIHH) oscillator model in conjunction with the experimental spectral constants (D,ω,ωx,B,α,r). We have numerically solved the Schrödinger equation for the VIHH potential using the LEVEL program, obtaining the pure vibrational spectrum that converges to the dissociation limit. In addition, the partition functions of PN molecule are calculated using the full rovibrational energies. Ultimately, thermodynamic properties like molar heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy were calculated for the PN molecule and show good agreement with those data from the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) database.

Ice interfaces are pivotal in mediating key chemical and physical processes such as heterogeneous chemical reactions in the environment, ice nucleation, and cloud microphysics. At the ice surface, water molecules form a quasi-liquid layer (QLL) with properties distinct from those of the bulk. Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies, a molecular-level understanding of the QLL has remained elusive.

The proton bond is a pivotal chemical motif in many areas of science and technology. Its quantum chemical description is remarkably challenged by nuclear and charge delocalization effects and the fluxional perturbation that it induces on molecular substrates. This work seeks insights into proton bonding at sub-kelvin temperatures.

CuZnSn(S,Se) (CZT(S,Se)) thin films exhibit the characteristics necessary to be effective absorbers in solar cells. In this report, the room temperature experimental Raman scattering spectra, recorded at different excitation wavelengths, are systematically analyzed theoretically using the results of DFT harmonic frequencies calculations at the Γ-point for various modifications of kesterite (KS), stannite (ST), and pre-mixed Cu-Au (PMCA) crystal structures. The specific anharmonism-induced features in the spectra of CZT(S,Se) crystals are identified, and the spectral lineshapes at varied strengths of anharmonic interaction are simulated.

Brain tumors are among the most dangerous, due to their location in the organ that governs all life processes. Moreover, the high differentiation of these poses a challenge in diagnostics. Therefore, this study focused on the chemical differentiation of glioblastoma G4 (GBM) and two types of meningiomas (atypical - MAtyp and angiomatous - MAng) were done using Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy, combined with statistical, multivariate, machine learning and rate of spectrum changes methods.
