从第一性原理出发,利用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似对ZrnFe(n=2-3)团簇进行了结构优化、能量和频率计算.在充分考虑自旋多重度的前提下,对每一具体尺寸的团簇,得到了多个平衡构型,并根据能量高低确定了团簇的基态结构.综合团簇的结合能、二阶能量差分以及团簇的最高占据轨道和最低未占据轨道间的能隙可知Zr5Fe,Zr7Fe和Zr12Fe团簇的稳定性相对较高,Zr12Fe团簇的结构是具有Ih对称性的正二十面体,而且Zr12Fe的稳定性在所有团簇中是最高的.另外,不仅Zr5Fe,Zr7Fe和Zr12Fe团簇的稳定性相对较高,而且它们均为磁性团簇(而Zrn团簇的磁矩在n≥5时已经发生了淬灭),由此可知通过选择合适的掺杂元素可能得到高稳定的磁性团簇.从Mulliken布居分析结果可知,除了在Zr12Fe团簇中Fe原子失去少量电荷外,其他团簇中Fe原子均从Zr原子那里得到了一定量电荷,即Fe原子在ZrnFe(n=2-3,n≠12)团簇中是电子受体.

Density functional theory study on the structural and electronic properties of Ag-adsorbed (MgO)<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> clusters

Equilibrium geometries, charge distributions, stabilities and electronic properties of the Ag-adsorbed (MgO) _n (n = 1–8) clusters have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for exchange-correlation functional. The results show that hollow site is energetically preferred for n⩾4, and the incoming Ag atoms tend to cluster on the existing Ag cluster. The Mulliken populations indicate that the interaction between the Ag atom and Magnesia clusters is mainly induced by a weak atomic polarization. The adsorbed Ag atom only causes charge redistributions of the atoms near itself. The effect of the adsorbed Ag atom on the bonding natures and structural features of Magnesia clusters is minor. Furthermore, the investigations on the first energy difference, fragmentation energies and electron affinities show that the Ag(MgO)₄ and Ag(MgO)₆ are the most stable among studied clusters.

密度泛函理论研究Run和RunAu(n=1-12)团簇的结构和电子性质

采用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似(GGA) 对 Ru_n Au和Ru_n 团簇的几何构型进行优化,并对能量、频率、电子性质和磁性质进行了计算. 结果表明,Ru_n Au团簇的最低能量结构可以通过Au原子代替Ru_n+1团簇中的Ru原子生长而成.除了局域的结构畸变,Ru_n Au和Ru_n+1团簇具有相似的几何结构.二阶能量差分、电离势、亲和势和分裂能表明Ru₅, Ru₈, Ru₅Au, Ru₈Au 是稳定的团簇,Au的掺杂没有改变Ru_n 的相对稳定性.通过电子性质的分析发现,当Au原子掺杂在Ru_n 中,团簇的化学活性增加,且团簇的能隙主要由电子的配对效应决定;对于大多数团簇来说,Au原子掺杂提高了Ru_n Au的磁矩. 关键词： n Au和Ru_n 团簇')" href="#">Ru_n Au和Ru_n 团簇 几何结构 电子性质

A density functional theory study of small bimetallic PdnAl (n=1–8) clusters

The geometries, stabilities, and magnetic properties of Pd_nAl (n=1–8) neutral clusters are studied using density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. The growth pattern for different sized Pd_nAl (n=1–8) clusters is Al-substituted Pd_n+1 clusters and it keeps the similar framework of the most stable Pd_n+1 clusters except n=6 and 8. Al atoms in the ground state Pd_nAl isomers tend to occupy the most highly coordinated position. The analysis of stabilities shows that doping an Al atom can enhance the stabilities of the host Pd clusters and the magic number characteristic of Pd₄ cluster cannot be changed, the Pd₃Al cluster has a higher stability. Charges are transferred from Al atom to Pd atoms in all Pd_nAl clusters, so the Al atom is the electron donor, and Pd atoms are the electron accepters. Doping an Al atom decreases the average atomic magnetic moments of the host Pd clusters.     

Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of ConRh (n=1-8) clusters from density functional calculations

The geometries, stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of Co_nRh (n=1-8) clusters have been investigated systematically within the framework of the generalized gradient approximation density-functional theory. The results indicate that the most stable structures of Co_nRh (n=1-8) clusters are all similar to those of corresponding Co_n+1 clusters. Maximum peaks of second-order energy difference are found at n=2, 4 and 7, indicating that these clusters possess relatively higher stability than their respective neighbors. The magnetism of the ground state of alloy clusters all displays ferromagnetic coupling except for Co₃Rh. In addition, the doped Rh atom exhibits an important influence on the magnetism of alloy clusters, e.g., compared with corresponding pure Co_n clusters, the local moment of Co atom is noticeably enhanced in Co_nRh alloy clusters at n=1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8, while reduced at n=3 and 4. Further analysis based on the average bond length, the charge transfer and the spin polarization has been made to clarify the different magnetic responses to Rh doping.     

Structures and electronic properties of Mo2nNn（n=1-5）:a density functional study

The lowest-energy structures and the electronic properties of Mo2nNn(n=1-5) clusters have been studied by using the density functional theory(DFT) simulating package DMol 3 in the generalized gradient approximation(GGA).The resulting equilibrium geometries show that the lowest-energy structures are dominated by central cores which correspond to the ground states of Mo n(n = 2,4,6,8,10) clusters and nitrogen atoms which surround these cores.The average binding energy,the adiabatic electron affinity(AEA),the vertical electron affinity(VEA),the adiabatic ionization potential(AIP) and the vertical ionization potential(VIP) of Mo2nNn(n=1-5) clusters have been estimated.The HOMO-LUMO gaps reveal that the clusters have strong chemical activities.An analysis of Mulliken charge distribution shows that charge-transfer moves from Mo atoms to N atoms and increases with cluster size.     

Structures, stabilities and electronic properties of FePbn (n=1-14) clusters: Density-functional theory investigations

The structures, stabilities and electronic properties of FePb_n (n=1-14) clusters have been studied using the density-functional theory (DFT). Extensive search of the ground-state structures has been carried out by considering a larger number of structural isomers for each cluster size. The Fe atom gradually falls into the interior of the Pb framework as the number of Pb atom increases from 1 to 14. The FePb_n clusters at n=3, 5, 10, 12 have relatively higher stability by analyzing the averaged binding energy and the second-order energy difference. Especially, FePb₁₂ is more stable, owing to its highest symmetrical icosahedron structure. The magnetic moments of FePb_n clusters do not quench when Fe atom is encapsulated in the Pb framework and mostly originate from 3d state of Fe atom.     

Geometries, stabilities, and electronic properties of Be-doped gold clusters: a density functional theory study

We have systematically investigated the geometrical structures, relative stabilities and electronic properties of small bimetallic AunBe (n = 1, 2, . . . , 8) clusters using a density functional method at BP86 level. The optimized geometries reveal that the impurity beryllium atom dramatically affects the structures of the Aun clusters. The averaged binding energies, fragmentation energies, second-order difference of energies, the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps and chemical hardness are investigated. All of them exhibit a pronounced odd-even alternation, manifesting that the clusters with even number of gold atoms possess relatively higher stabilities. Especially, the linear Au2Be cluster is magic cluster with the most stable chemical stability. According to the natural population analysis, it is found that charge-transferring direction between Au atom and Be atom changes at the size of n = 4.
