Benchmarking Core Excitations
High level quantum mechanical calculations produce a benchmark dataset of 1s core levels for organic molecules
The GW Green's function method has become a popular tool to compute valence excitations for a wide range of substances and materials. In this article, we test the GW method on X-ray photoelectron spectra. We present a benchmark study for 65 molecular 1s excitations. Our absolute and relative GW core-level binding energies agree within 0.3 and 0.2 eV with experiment, respectively. More information can be found in

The TAIMI project builds an equal working life – a six-year consortium project seeks solutions to recruitment and skill challenges
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing skill requirements, the population is aging, and the labor shortage is deepening. Meanwhile, the potential of international experts often remains unused in Finland. These challenges in working life are addressed by the six-year TAIMI project funded by the Strategic Research Council, and implemented by a broad consortium.
