Title: Solid Oganesson via a Many-Body Interaction Expansion Based on Relativistic Coupled-Cluster Theory and from Plane-Wave Relativistic Density Functional Theory

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry. A, Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, and General Theory

In this work, many-body potentials up to fourth order in the expansion are constructed using non-relativistic, scalar-relativistic and relativistic coupled-cluster theory to accurately describe the interaction between superheavy oganesson atoms. The obtained distance dependent energy values were fitted to extended two-body Lennard-Jones and three-body Axilrod-Teller-Muto potentials, with the fourth-order term treated through a classical long-range Drude dipole interaction model. From these interac tion potentials, spectroscopic constants for the oganesson dimer and solid state properties were obtained. Furthermore, these high-level results are compared to scalar relativistic and two-component plane-wave DFT calculations based on a tailor-made projector augmented-wave pseudopotential (PAW-PP) and newly derived parameters for Grimme’s dispersion correction. It is shown that the functionals PBE-D3(BJ), PBEsol and in particular SCAN provide excellent agreement with the many-body ref erence for solid Og. Finally, the results for Og are compared and related to the lighter rare gas elements and periodic trends are discussed.
