Five doublet isomers of the Al3H2 cluster lying
within a narrow range of 5 kcal/mol, along with the isomerization transition
states connecting them, have been located with the coupled-cluster CCSD(T)
and DFT methods. The two most stable doublet structures, the C2v planar
including the two Hs bound terminally and C1 non-planar showing one H
in terminal site and the other in threefold site are found to be essentially
degenerate. Although the reaction of Al3 with H2 to yield
Al3H2 is found to be significantly exothermic, by 23.5 kcal/mol,
this hydrogenation is impeded by a considerable kinetic barrier of 16 kcal/mol. Our result is consistent with the observed
lack of reactivity of
Aln towards H2(D2) for n=3 under thermal conditions [3].
The quartet Al3H2 isomers are predicted to lie 16–21 kcal/mol higher
in energy than the doublet analogues. Further dimerization of
Al3H2 to form Al6H4 has also been examined.

We extensively search for the endohedral silicon-fullerene
structures of Si31–Si39 using the combination of a
tight-binding potential with the density functional theory. The
resulting structures of our best candidates characterize more
compact features comparing to previous isomers [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 126, 13845 (2004); J. Chem. Phys. 124, 164311 (2006)]. Most of our best candidates belong to new families
featuring different core/cage combinations or different original
carbon fullerene cages with respect to those of previous isomers.
Energy calculations reveal that our best candidates are more
stable than the previous best ones at the PW91 level, except for
n = 34 and 38. The predicted relative stabilities of these isomers remain even at finite
temperatures. In addition, the densities of dangling-bond atoms in
the surfaces of our Si33 and Si39 isomers are
significantly lower than the previous best candidates, as well as
lower than those of their neighbors. This finding together with
the densities of the active sites in the surfaces of the previous best candidates
of Si34 and Si38 is roughly consistent with the observed relative reactivities of the silicon
clusters in the size range of n = 31-39. 相似文献

Optical absorption of isolated silver cluster-tryptophan:
A joint experimental and theoretical study
T. Tabarin R. Antoine I. Compagnon M. Broyer P. Dugourd R. Mitrić J. Petersen V. Bonačić-Koutecký 《The European Physical Journal D - Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics》2007,43(1-3):275-278
We present a joint experimental and theoretical gas phase study of photoabsorption and photofragmentation of silver cluster-biomolecule
complexes. We demonstrate on the example of [ Trp.Ag3] + that binding of the metal cluster to a biomolecule leads to a significant enhancement of the photoabsorption in comparison
with [Trp.H]+ and [Trp.Ag]+. This enhancement arises due to the coupling between the excitations in the metallic subunit with charge transfer excitations
between silver cluster and tryptophan. Our experimental studies show that silver clusters up to eleven atoms can be bound
to tryptophan and we present first results on the photofragmentation of the Trp.Ag11
+ complex cation, in which properties of cluster subunit remain preserved. 相似文献

Ultrafast ground state nuclear dynamics of Au4 and Ag4 is theoretically explored in the framework of negative ion - to neutral - to positive ion (NeNePo) pump-probe spectroscopy
based on the ab initio Wigner distribution approach. This involves the preparation of a nonequilibrium neutral ensemble by pump induced photodetachment
of a thermal anionic ground state distribution, gradient corrected DFT classical trajectory simulations “on the fly” on the
neutral ground state, and detection of the relaxation process of the ensemble in the cationic ground state by a time-delayed
probe pulse. In Au4, the initially prepared linear structure is close to a local minimum of the neutral state giving rise to characteristic vibrations
in the signals for probe wavelength near the initial Franck-Condon transition. A timescale of ∼1 ps for the structural relaxation towards the stable rhombic D2h neutral isomer was determined by the increase of the signal for probe wavelength in vicinity of the vertical ionization energy
of the rhombic structure. In contrast, the relaxation dynamics in Ag4 is characterized by normal mode vibrations since both the initially prepared anionic ground state and the neutral ground
state have rhombic minimum geometries. Thus, time-resolved oscillations of pump-probe signals are fingerprints of structural
behaviour which can be used experimentally for the identification of particular isomers in the framework of NeNePo spectroscopy.

We report data on the structure of liquid Al and an Al67Mg33 alloy obtained from state-of-the-art X-ray diffraction experiments and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. To facilitate a direct comparison between these data, we develop a method to elongate the AIMD pair correlation function in order to obtain reliable AIMD structure factors. The comparison reveals an appreciable level of discrepancy between experimental and AIMD liquid structures, with the latter being consistently more ordered than the former at the same temperature. The discrepancy noted in this study is estimated to have significant implications for simulation-based calculations of liquid transport properties and solid–liquid interface kinetic properties. 相似文献

We study the classical dynamics of the rare gas-dihalogen Ne?Br2 complex in its ground electronic state. By considering the dihalogen bond frozen at its equilibrium distance, the system has two degrees of freedom and its potential energy surface presents linear and T-shape isomers. We find the nonlinear normal modes of both isomers that determine the phase space structure of the system. By means of surfaces of section and applying the numerical continuation of families of periodic orbits, we detect and identify the different bifurcations suffered by the normal modes as a function of the system energy. Finally, using the Orthogonal Fast Lyapunov Indicator (OFLI), we study the evolution of the fraction of the phase space volume occupied by regular motions. 相似文献

We have explored the lowest doublet and quartet potential
energy surfaces (PES) for the reaction of gallium trimer with H2. This
reaction was studied experimentally by Margrave and co-workers in a noble
gas matrix. The detailed reaction paths ending up with the low-energy
Ga3H2 hydride isomers have been predicted based on the high level
ab initio coupled-cluster calculations (CCSD(T)) with large basis set. We
have found that the reaction occuring on the lowest doublet PES is described
by the activation barrier for H2 cleavage of about 15 kcal/mol,
consistent with experiment. In the most stable Ga3H2 hydride
structure, whose formation is exothermic by 15 kcal/mol, both H atoms assume
three-fold bridged positions. The diterminal planar structure of
Ga3H2, proposed experimentally from the observed IR spectra, is
found to be only 1 kcal/mol less stable than the dibridged form. 相似文献

Lattice dynamics of lithium iron orthophosphate (LiFePO4) isostructural with olivine have been investigated using the first-principles calculations taking into account the on-site Coulomb interaction within the GGA + U scheme. Born effective charge tensors, phonon frequencies at the Brillouin zone center and phonon dispersion curves are calculated and analyzed. The Born effective charge tensors exhibit anisotropy, which gives a convincing evidence for the one-dimensional Li migration tunnel along the [010] direction in LiFePO4, which has been proposed by other theoretical calculations and experimental observation. The calculated phonon frequencies at the Γ point of the Brillouin zone show good agreement with the available experimental observations. 相似文献

The structures, binding energies, and electronic properties of
Cn and NaCn (n=2–12) clusters have been systematically
investigated using density functional theory (DFT). A number of
previously undiscovered isomers of NaCn clusters are reported,
including fan-like, linear and three-dimensional structures.
Moreover, NaCn clusters with even n are found to be more
stable than those with odd n, in contrast with
the case of Cn clusters. 相似文献

Bimetallic silver-gold clusters are well suited to study
changes in metallic versus
ionic properties involving charge transfer as a function of
the size and the composition. We present structures, ionization
potentials (IP) and vertical detachment energies (VDE) for
neutral and charged bimetallic
AunAgm (
2(n +
m)5) clusters obtained from
density functional level of theory. In the stable structures of
these clusters Au atoms assume positions which favor charge
transfer from Ag atoms. In clusters with equal numbers of hetero
atoms (n =
m = 1- 4) heteronuclear
bonding is preferred to homonuclear bonding, giving rise to
large values of ionization potentials. For larger clusters
(n=m=5, 10) stable structures do not favor
neither hetero bonding nor segregation into the single
components, although they exhibit more metallic than ionic
features. This remains valid also for
Au8Ag12 cluster
characterized by strong charge transfer to gold subunit. The
influence of doping of pure gold clusters with silver atoms on
VDE and IP values is discussed in context of their reactivity
towards O2 and CO molecules. As a
starting point we consider reactivity towards CO and
O2 molecules on the example of
AgAu- dimer. The results show that
the catalytic cycle can be fullfilled. 相似文献

Ground state and excited state properties of ethylene, C2H4, and several ethylene isomers have been studied by Feynman path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations. The PIMC treatment of the atomic nuclei has been combined with different electronic Hamiltonians in order to analyse the influence of the nuclear degrees of freedom on electronic quantities. Electronic expectation values at the minimum of the potential energy surface (PES) have been compared with PIMC based ensemble averaged values. Ensemble averaged quantities have been derived by Hamiltonians of the ab initio type and a tight-binding (TB) one-electron model. The combined influence of anharmonicities in the interatomic potential and the quantum fluctuations of the atomic nuclei lead to ensemble averaged bondlengths r g which are significantly larger than the parameters r e, at the minimum of the PES. The implications of this bond length elongation for the electronic properties of ethylene are discussed. The occupied canonical molecular orbitals (CMOs) of ethylene are destabilized under the influence of the nuclear degrees of freedom while virtual CMOs are stabilized. These shifts of one-electron energies suggest a comparison of electronic excitation energies at the minimum of the PES with PIMC based ensemble averages. The quantum fluctuations of the nuclei cause a strong redistribution in the intensities of electronic transitions. Transitions, which are dipole allowed in the planar D2h geometry of ethylene, lose intensity under the influence of nuclear quantum effects, and vice versa for electronic excitations that are dipole forbidden under D2h symmetry. This ‘vibrational borrowing’ is enhanced with decreasing atomic masses. The Feynman centroid density has been used to calculate the anharmonic vibrational wavenumbers of C2H4 and C2D4. The results of the present PIMC simulations have been employed to emphasize general problems of electronic structure calculations based on a single nuclear configuration (i.e. the configuration at the minimum of the PES). 相似文献

Accuracies of classical, semiclassical and quantum methods are comprehensively examined in calculations of impact line widths of C2H2 molecules perturbed by Ar and He. The field of comparative study covers both infrared absorption and Raman scattering lines of acetylene having rotational quantum number J=0-30 at temperatures 173 and 296 K. Calculations have been made by fully classical method and by three basic least approximate semiclassical methods, namely, Neilsen-Gordon (NG) method, peaking approximation (PA) and Smith-Giraud-Cooper (SGC) method. Most accurate ab initio potential energy surfaces (PES) of Yang et al. (1996) [21] and Mozsynski et al. (1995) [22] have been applied to model C2H2-Ar and C2H2-He interactions. The comparison has been made also with available experimental data and with the results of rigorous fully quantum-mechanical calculations within close coupling and coupled states approaches in identical conditions. Semiclassical methods are proved to be not so much accurate as it is generally believed since all they gave in the cases considered seriously underestimated results. The fundamental issue of the adequacy of simplified trajectories in collision broadening calculations is finally reasonably solved. In cases of C2H2-Ar and C2H2-He systems the use of the “exact” isotropic trajectories (i.e. driven only by the isotropic part of PES) is the main reason of failing of NG, PA and SGC methods. Thus the neglecting of back-influence of the RT exchange on the classical path is a principal defect of semiclassical methods. Finally, the application of simplified trajectories is recognized as inadequate and risky in broadening calculations for molecules having relatively small rotational constants when accurate ab initio PES are applied. 相似文献

Three-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) have been calculated for the lowest electronic states of NCO, CNO and CON isomers, using internally contracted Multi Reference Configuration Interaction (MRCI) and Coupled-Clusters RCCSD(T) ab initio methods. For the low lying doublet and quartet excited states of the three isomers, the N–CO, O–CN, C–NO and C–ON collinear dissociation paths were mapped by the Complete Active Space SCF (CASSCF) approach and the energy variations with the bending coordinate have been explored. Several regions of conical intersections have been located and the spin–orbit interactions between states of different spin symmetry have been evaluated in the region of intersections of these states. The analysis of the PESs allows one to identify the main interactions governing the reactivity of the lowest electronic states. The NCO and CNO isomers have stable X2Π electronic ground states, for CON the X2Π ground state is separated from the dissociative [CO?+?N] asymptote by a barrier of 0.11 eV and crosses the dissociative 4Σ - state close to its minimum. At their equilibrium ground state geometries the spin–orbit interactions A SO between the two electronic components of the X2Π states were calculated to be -95.6, -109.6 and -57.1 cm?1 for NCO, CNO and CON, respectively. The predissociation of the vibrational levels of the A2Σ+ and B2Π states of NCO has been explained. 相似文献

The atomic configurations of liquid and glassy Mg65Cu25Y10 alloy have been simulated in the temperature range of 300 K to 2000 K via ab initio molecular dynamics. The variations of pair correlation function (PCF), structure factor (SF), coordination number (CN) and bond pairs with the temperature for this alloy are characterized. It has been shown that the atoms are near densely packed and icosahedral type of short-range order (SRO) is predominant in the glass state. Icosahedral medium range order (MRO) can be formed by vertex or intercross connection of icosahedral SROs. In this work, an icosahedral MRO which is composed of 55 atoms has been found. It has been also clarified that Mg and Cu occupy the centre or vertex, and Y atoms only occupy the vertex of the icosahedron in this glassy alloy. It is believed that these findings have implication for understanding the glass forming mechanism of magnesium based metallic glasses. 相似文献

Differential cross-sections for quasi-free Compton scattering from the proton and neutron bound in the deuteron have been
measured using the Glasgow/Mainz photon tagging spectrometer at the Mainz MAMI accelerator together with the Mainz [48]cm
;SPMOslash; × [64]cm NaI(Tl) photon detector and the G?ttingen SENECA recoil detector. The data cover photon energies ranging from [200]MeV
to [400]MeV at θLAB
γ = 136.2°. Liquid deuterium and hydrogen targets allowed direct comparison of free and quasi-free scattering from the proton. The neutron
detection efficiency of the SENECA detector was measured via the reaction p(γ,π+
n). The “free” proton Compton scattering cross-sections extracted from the bound proton data are in reasonable agreement with
those for the free proton which gives confidence in the method to extract the differential cross-section for free scattering
from quasi-free data. Differential cross-sections on the free neutron have been extracted and the difference of the electromagnetic
polarizabilities of the neutron has been determined to be αn - βn = 9.8±3.6(stat)+2.1
-1.1(syst)±2.2(model) in units of [10-4]fm

Ab initio total energy calculations have been performed for superconducting
GdBa2Cu3O7 and insulating PrBa2Cu3O7 using the
full-potential linear augmented plane-wave method in the local density
approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The
comparison of the calculated unit cell volume and lattice parameters with
the experimental data indicates the improvement of these parameters in the
GGA relative to LDA. LDA and GGA give the equilibrium unit cell volume about
6% smaller and 1.25% larger than the experimental data, respectively
for both systems. Thus frozen phonon calculations have been performed to
determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the k=0 Ag modes of the
two systems in equilibrium structure have been obtained in GGA. The
calculated frequencies in the GGA are in good agreement with the other LDA
calculations for similar systems. Comparison of computational data with
experimental data indicates that calculations determine the frequencies
about ten percent below the experimental data. Even by improving LDA to GGA
in these calculations, the calculated phonon frequencies have remained
almost ten percent below the experimental data, even though the calculated
unit cell volumes are nearly equal to the experimental data. So, applying
GGA has not considerably decreased the difference between the computational
and experimental data. The effect of Pr doping on the eigenvalues and
eigenvectors have also been investigated. 相似文献

Ab initio Molecular Dynamics (MD) method, based on density functional theory (DFT) with planewaves and pseudopotentials, was used to
study the stability and internal motion in silver cluster Agn, with n
=4-6. Calculations on the neutral, cationic and anionic silver dimer Ag2 show that the bond distance and vibrational frequency calculated by DFT are of good quality. Simulations of Ag4, Ag5, and Ag6 in canonical ensemble reveal distinct characteristics and isomerization paths for each cluster. At a temperature of 800 K,
an Ag4 has no definite structure due to internal motion, while for Ag5 and Ag6the clusters maintain the planar structure, with atomic rearrangement observed for Ag5 but not for Ag6. At a temperature of 200 K, Ag4 can exist in two planar structures whilst Ag5 is found to be stable only in the planar form. In contrast Ag6 is stable in both planar trigonal and 3D pentagonal structures. Micro-canonical MD simulation was performed for all three
clusters to obtain the vibrational density of states (DOS).

The compounds [3,3-(CO)2-3-NO-closo-3,1,2-ReC2B9H11] and [NEt4][3,3,3-(CO)3-8-I-closo-3,1,2-ReC2B9H10] have been shown to be emissive in MeTHF at 77 K, with λmax in the blue region of the visible spectrum. Emission from [3,3,3-(CO)3-8-I-closo-3,1,2-ReC2B9H10]-, which has been structurally characterized, is phosphorescent with a single exponential decay lifetime, τ=1.65 ms. The complex [3,3-(CO)2-3-NO-closo-3,1,2-ReC2B9H11] also emits in the solid state at 298 K and has been shown by diffuse-reflectance UV-vis measurement to have a band gap of 2.66 eV. 相似文献

The isotropic and anisotropic hyperfine coupling (hfs) constants of the C2H5 radical have been theoretically studied under the conditions of thermal equilibrium, i.e. under the explicit consideration of the nuclear degrees of freedom. For this purpose the Feynman path integral quantum Monte Carlo (PIMC) formalism has been combined with an electronic Hamiltonian of the B3LYP–EPRIII type. The density functional operator has been used to derive both the distribution functions for the isotropic and anisotropic hfs constants of the ethyl radical as well as the thermal mean values. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) timescale enables only the measurement of the thermal averages. The underlying distribution functions of these mean values, however, offer insight into the nature and strength of the nuclear degrees of freedom contributing to the observable thermal averages. The EPR parameters of C2H5 have been studied between 25 and 1000?K. This temperature (T?) window is large enough to consider nuclear fluctuations beyond zero-point effects. The deviations between the thermally averaged hfs constants and the values at the minimum of the potential energy surface (PES) are caused by (i) enlargements of the bond lengths in thermal equilibrium under the influence of anharmonicities in the internuclear potential, and (ii) by the intramolecular methylene rotation. The latter degree of freedom leads to a planar CH2 unit in thermal equilibrium. At the minimum of the PES the methylene fragment exhibits a certain pyramidalization. The ensemble corrections as well as the T dependence of the isotropic hfs constants are larger than the ensemble shifts and T dependence of the anisotropic parameters. The non-validity of the crude Born–Oppenheimer approximation for the theoretical evaluation of physically meaningful isotropic hfs constants of the ethyl radical has been explained on the basis of specific nuclear degrees of freedom. Theoretical results of the ensemble averaged Monte Carlo type as well as single-nuclear configuration data are compared with experiment whenever available. 相似文献

We present an ab initio study
of electronic correlation effects
in a molecular cluster derived from
the hexanuclear ferric
wheel [ LiFe6(OCH3)12-(dbm)6] PF6.
The electronic and magnetic properties of this cluster
have been studied with all-electron Hartree-Fock,
full-potential density functional calculations
and multi-reference second-order perturbation theory.
For different levels of correlation,
a detailed study of the impact of the electronic correlation on the exchange parameter
was feasible.
As the main result, we found that
the influence of the bridge oxygen atoms
on the exchange parameter is less intense
than the influence of the apical ligand groups,
which is due to the geometry of the cluster.
With respect to the cluster model approach,
the experimental value of the exchange parameter
was affirmed. 相似文献
