Dr. Paier erforscht mit computergestützten Methoden (Dichtefunktionaltheorie und verwandte Verfahren) die Wechselwirkung von Molekülen wie CO₂, Wasserstoff und Kohlenwasserstoffen mit Oberflächen von Metalloxiden und Metallen. Sein aktueller Fokus liegt auf der Aktivierung von CO₂ an Oxidoberflächen sowie auf katalytischen Prozessen an unterstützten Metallclustern — Themen mit direkter Relevanz für die Katalyse-Industrie, insbesondere für Anwendungen in der CO₂-Umwandlung und der heterogenen Katalyse. Er kombiniert dabei theoretische Vorhersagen mit experimentellen Daten (Spektroskopie, Rastertunnelmikroskopie) und entwickelt hybride Rechenmethoden, um die Genauigkeit von Oberflächenreaktionen zu verbessern. Seine Arbeiten ermöglichen es, Katalysatoren auf atomarer Ebene zu verstehen und gezielt zu optimieren.

Hybrid Fock exchange/density functional theory functionals have shown to be very successful in describing a wide range of molecular properties. For periodic systems, however, the long-range nature of the Fock exchange interaction and the resultant large computational requirements present a major drawback. This is especially true for metallic systems, which require a dense Brillouin zone sampling. Recently, a new hybrid functional [HSE03, J. Heyd, G. E. Scuseria, and M. Ernzerhof, J. Chem. Phys. 118, 8207 (2003)] that addresses this problem within the context of methods that evaluate the Fock exchange in real space was introduced. We discuss the advantages the HSE03 functional brings to methods that rely on a reciprocal space description of the Fock exchange interaction, e.g., all methods that use plane wave basis sets. Furthermore, we present a detailed comparison of the performance of the HSE03 and PBE0 functionals for a set of archetypical solid state systems by calculating lattice parameters, bulk moduli, heats of formation, and band gaps. The results indicate that the hybrid functionals indeed often improve the description of these properties, but in several cases the results are not yet on par with standard gradient corrected functionals. This concerns in particular metallic systems for which the bandwidth and exchange splitting are seriously overestimated.

Present local and semilocal functionals show significant errors, for instance, in the energetics of small molecules and in the description of band gaps. One possible solution to these problems is the introduction of exact exchange and hybrid functionals. A plane-wave-based algorithm was implemented in VASP (Vienna ab-initio simulation package) to allow for the calculation of the exact exchange. To systematically assess the precision of the present implementation, calculations for the 55 molecules of the G2-1 quantum chemical test set were performed applying the PBE and PBE0 functionals. Excellent agreement for both atomization energies and geometries compared with the results obtained by GAUSSIAN 03 calculations using large basis sets (augmented correlation consistent polarized valence quadruple zeta for the geometry optimization and augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence quintuple zeta for the energy calculations) was found. The mean absolute error for atomization energies between VASP and the experiment is 8.6 and 3.7 kcalmol, as calculated with the PBE and PBE0 functionals, respectively. The mean deviations between VASP and GAUSSIAN are 0.46 and 0.49 kcalmol for the PBE and PBE0 functionals, respectively.
