The ubiquity of aqueous solutions in contact with charged surfaces and the realization that
the molecular-level details of water–surface interactions often determine interfacial functions …

Intersystem crossing (ISC), formally forbidden within nonrelativistic quantum theory, is the
mechanism by which a molecule changes its spin state. It plays an important role in the …

Interatomic or intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a nonlocal electronic decay
mechanism occurring in weakly bound matter. In an ICD process, energy released by …

This review describes the theory and implementation of implicit solvation models based on
continuum electrostatics. Within quantum chemistry this formalism is sometimes …

Biomolecular radiation damage is largely mediated by radicals and low-energy electrons
formed by water ionization rather than by direct ionization of biomolecules. It was speculated …

The position of electronic energy levels in a phase depends on the surface potentials at its
boundaries. Bringing two phases in contact at an interface will alter the surface potentials …

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical component of industrial processes such as
electrowinning of metals and the chlor-alkali process. It also plays a central role in the …

In pioneering work by Cederbaum et al an excitation mechanism was proposed that occurs
only in loosely bound matter (Cederbaum et al 1997 Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 4778): it turned out …

Liquid–vapor interfaces, particularly those between aqueous solutions and air, drive
numerous important chemical and physical processes in the atmosphere and in the …

To understand the yield and patterns of damage in aqueous condensed matter, including
biological systems, it is essential to identify the initial products subsequent to the interaction …
