Exceptional shutdown of the Rheticus cluster
As part of the renewal of our computing infrastructure, we must carry out a complete shutdown of the cluster from October 5 to November 30.
During this period, the machines as well as the data hosted on the cluster will be inaccessible.
From October 5, we will make the new Hedy cluster available to you as quickly as possible. You can follow the progress of this migration work on this page: Migration progress schedule.
This shutdown is necessary to allow the migration of the current cluster to our new architecture and the integration of significant new computing resources.
22/11/2023: AMU is a partner of the Mesonet project. It is already possible to access computing resources hosted by the mesocentres partnering in the Mesonet project.

abstract = {The control of axial chirality in atropisomeric compounds has gained significant importance in modern synthetic chemistry due to their relevance in the design of materials and biologically active molecules. The study investigates the configurational stability of a series of axially chiral N ‐pyrazolyl maleimides through a combined theoretical and experimental approach. Initially, density functional theory (DFT) computations are used to predict the corresponding barriers to enantiomerisation of multiple derivatives holding a large variety of substituents at different positions of both heterocyclic nuclei on either side of the CN bond. Then, the predicted barriers are validated through dynamic chiral high performance liquid chromatography analysis, providing experimental evidence for the configurational stability of these challenging bis ‐pentatomic C–N atropisomers. Compounds featuring a 1‐N ‐t ‐butyl group as well as a C‐4‐substituent on the aminopyrazole ring exhibit high barriers to enantiomerisation, confirming their potential as a new family of atropisomerically stable heterocyclic compounds. Variation of the substitution on the maleimide nucleus has no significant influence on the overall configurational stability. The good correlation between theoretical predictions and experimental findings highlights the strength of the DFT computations in predicting configurational stability of chiral N ‐pyrazolyl maleimides, providing a predictive framework for designing new atropisomeric N ‐pyrazolyl maleimides with restricted rotation around the CN bond. },

abstract = {In rotating fluids, the viscous smoothing of inviscid singular inertial waves leads to the formation of internal shear layers. In previous works, we analysed the internal shear layers excited by a viscous forcing (longitudinal libration) in a spherical shell geometry (He et al. , 2022 J. Fluid Mech. 939 , A3; He et al. , 2023 J. Fluid Mech. 974 , A3). We now consider the stronger inviscid forcing corresponding to the vertical oscillation of the inner boundary. We limit our analysis to two-dimensional geometries but examine three different configurations: freely propagating wave beams in an unbounded domain and two wave patterns (a periodic orbit and an attractor) in a cylindrical shell geometry. The asymptotic structures of the internal shear layers are assumed to follow the similarity solution of Moore & Saffman (1969 Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. A , 264 , 597–634) in the small viscous limit. The two undefined parameters of the similarity solution (singularity strength and amplitude) are derived by asymptotically matching the similarity solution with the inviscid solution. For each case, the derivation of the latter is achieved either through separation of variables combined with analytical continuation or the method of characteristics. Global inviscid solutions, when obtained, closely match numerical solutions for small Ekman numbers far from the critical lines, while viscous asymptotic solutions show excellent performance near those lines. The amplitude scalings of the internal shear layers excited by an inviscid forcing are found to be divergent as the Ekman number
$E$
decreases, specifically
$O(E^{-1/6})$
for the critical-point singularity and
$O(E^{-1/3})$
for attractors, in contrast to the convergent scalings found for a viscous forcing. },

As we explore the system, we analyze the mathematical structure that gives rise to locked states and how the model’s non-linearity enables multiple equilibrium amplitudes for waves. We also explain the predominance of regularity as we vary the control parameters and the mechanism behind the emergence of chaos under limited parameter choices. },

abstract = {ABSTRACT Electrostatic embedding quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods in periodic boundary conditions (PBC) can successfully describe the condensed phase reactivity of a fragment treated at the QM level with an atomistic description of an electrostatic environment treated at the MM level. The computational cost of ab initio QM methods limits the phase space sampling, thus affecting statistical quantities like free energies. Here, we describe the implementation of a PBC‐adapted QM/MM model based on the semi‐empirical density‐functional based tight‐binding (DFTB) method within the GAMESS‐US quantum package interfaced with Tinker. Further, we take advantage of the free energy methods provided by a newly developed interface with the PLUMED plugin. The versatility of the implementation is illustrated by the prediction of the free energy profile for three different families of reactions in solution. Overall, using the DFTB/MM, it has been possible to obtain results that are at least in a qualitatively agreement with respect to the experimental data or high‐level ab initio simulations. },

Here, the impact of point defects on the stacking‐fault energy in nuclear fuel is investigated using a large‐set of molecular statics simulations combined to statistical analysis. A focus is made on the excess stacking‐fault energy induced by uranium Frenkel pairs usually produced during high‐temperature irradiation, in the main slip systems of the fluorite structure. The results show quantitative changes of the stacking‐fault energy that can vary up to several hundreds with point defect content, what might significantly influence dislocation core, mobility and more broadly, the mechanical behavior of the material. These results highlight the crossed link of point defects upon nuclear fuel mechanics and pave the way for further investigations into dislocation‐point defect interactions, particularly in the context of high‐temperature nuclear fuel applications.</jats:p>},

abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Electron delocalization is studied in the ground singlet and first excited triplet states of azulene‐containing helicenes. After showing that the compounds we study can be synthesized, we show that they exhibit a charge separation in the ground state, which does not appear in their triplet excited state. Then, magnetically induced properties (IMS3D and ACID) and electron density decomposition methods (EDDB) are used to rationalize aromaticity in these systems. For azulene‐based helicenes larger than a critical size, that is, for more than six fused cycles, unexpected aromatic delocalization circuits appear. This feature is understood via the decomposition of the wavefunction on sets of carefully chosen local electronic structures and fragment orbital diagrams.</jats:p>},

abstract = {<jats:p>Magnetic reconnection leads to the formation of island-shaped magnetic structure(s). Due to disagreement between theoretical evaluations of the characteristic reconnection time and observations, it is commonly accepted that the collisionality (or resistivity) is too low to explain magnetic reconnection phenomena in fusion plasmas. Thus, magnetic reconnection still raises many open questions. The work presented here aims to improve the fundamental knowledge about ‘the life of a magnetic island’. Here, in the light of the many works of the last 70 years, a new paradigm for understanding magnetic reconnection in fusion plasmas is proposed. The life of a magnetic island (whatever its scale) follows three phases: the origin, the growth and the saturation. The possible physical mechanisms at play in these three phases will be investigated. First, for the island origin, typical time scales in link with magnetic reconnection will be evaluated for three tokamaks of different sizes (TCV, WEST and JET) to verify if magnetic reconnection is such an unexplained phenomenon in fusion plasmas. Second, for the island drive, the richness of possible mechanisms leading to ‘rapid’ magnetic island growth in fusion devices will be presented for small and large scales. Third comes the island saturation step. Results on the prediction of a large island width at saturation are presented and discussed.</jats:p>},

abstract = {ABSTRACT Diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs) have attracted attention for their potential applications in organic photovoltaics due to their tunable optical properties and charge‐carrier mobilities. In this study, we investigate the excited‐state dynamics of a DPP dimer using time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations. Our results reveal a near‐barrierless hydrogen migration state intersection that facilitates ultrafast internal conversion with a lifetime of about 400 fs, leading to fluorescence quenching. Electronic density analysis along the relaxation pathway confirms a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. These findings highlight the critical role of state intersections in the photophysical properties of DPP dimers, providing new insights for the design of functionalized DPP systems aimed at suppressing nonradiative decay for enhanced performance in photovoltaic applications. },
