Density functional study of Al-doped Au clusters

The equilibrium geometries and electronic properties of Au n Al,up to n = 13,have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory.The results show that,for the Au n Al clusters,two patterns are identified.Pattern one(n = 2,3,8),the lowest-energy geometries prefer two-dimensional structures.Pattern two(n = 4 7,9-13),the lowest-energy geometries prefer three-dimensional structures.According to the analysis of the binding energy and the fragmentation energy,Au n Al clusters with odd n are found to be more stable than those with even n.The same trend of alternation can be illuminated according to the computational results in the HOMO-LUMO gap,the ionization potential,and the electron affinities.The Al atom not only changes the structures of pure gold clusters,but also enhances their stabilities.NBO analysis indicates 6s orbital of Au atom hybridizes with 3p orbital of Al atom.     

Density functional study of structural and electronic properties of Al<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>P (2 ≤ <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> ≤ 12) clusters

Low-lying equilibrium geometric structures of Phosphorus-doped aluminum cluster Al _n P (n = 2–12) clusters obtained by an all-electron linear combination of atomic orbital approach, within spin-polarized density functional theory, are reported. The binding energy, dissociation energy, and stability of these clusters are studied within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) and the three-parameter hybrid generalized gradient approximation (GGA) due to Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP). Ionization potentials, electron affinities, hardness, and static polarizabilities are calculated for the ground-state structures within the GGA. It is observed that symmetric structures with the P atom occupying a peripheral position are lowest-energy geometries of Al _n P (n = 2, 4–11), while the P impurities of Al₃P and Al₁₂P prefer to occupy internal sites in the aluminum clusters. Generalized gradient approximation extends bond lengths as compared to the LSDA lengths. The odd-even oscillations in the dissociation energy, the second differences in energy, the HOMO–LUMO gaps, the ionization potential, the electron affinity, and the hardness are more pronounced within both GGA and LSDA. The stability analysis based on the energies clearly shows the clusters with an even number of valence electrons are more stable than clusters with odd number of valence electrons.     

Superatomic properties of transition-metal-doped tetrahexahedral lithium clusters: TM@Li14

ABSTRACT

The lowest energy structure of Li₁₅ cluster is a capped double centred square antiprism sharing a square face. Interestingly, when a lithium atom is substituted by a transition-metal atom TM (TM?=?Sc, Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta and W), the lowest energy structure is found to be cage-like with a D_6d symmetry, where the outer cage is composed by fourteen lithium atoms with an endohedral transition-metal atom. The unique structures are confirmed by CALYSPO structure prediction method code and density-functional theory calculations. Superatomic properties are confirmed in all the D_6d clusters. Energy calculations predict that they are very stable, and their stability is further enhanced by the large gaps of the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO gaps). Our findings offer potential applications in building blocks for assembling materials with superatoms.     

Insights into the structures,stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of X2Aun (X = La,Y, and Sc; n = 1–9) clusters: comparison with pure gold clusters

A systematic study of the X₂Au_n (X = La, Y, Sc; n = 1–9) clusters are performed by using the density functional theory at TPSS level. The structures, stabilities, electronic, and magnetic properties are investigated in comparison with pure gold clusters. The results show that the transition points of the doped clusters from two-dimensional to three-dimensional structure are obviously earlier than gold clusters. The impurity X atoms tend to occupy the most highly coordinated position and form the largest probable number of bonds with gold atoms. In addition, the impurity atoms can strongly enhance the stabilities of gold clusters. It indicates that the impurity atoms dramatically affect the geometries and stabilities of the Au_n clusters. The highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest occupied molecular orbital gap, vertical ionisation potential, and chemical hardness show that the X₂Au₆ clusters have higher stabilities than the others. In La₂Au_1–9, Y₂Au_1–7, and Sc₂Au_1–4 clusters, the charges transfer from X atoms to the Au_n frames. The total magnetic moments of X₂Au_n clusters exist distinctly odd–even alternation behaviours except for La₂Au₄ and Sc₂Au₄ clusters.     

The geometry structures and electronic properties of Li_mB_n(m+n=12) clusters

The geometric structures, electronic properties, total and binding energies, harmonic frequencies, the highest occupied molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps, and the vertical ionization potential energies of small LimBn （m＋ n = 12） clusters were investigated by the density functional theory B3LYP with a 6-31 I＋G （2d, 2p） basis set. All the calculations were performed using the Gaussian09 program. For the study of the LimBn clusters, the global minimum of the B 12 cluster was chosen as the starting point and the boron atoms were gradually replaced by Li atoms. The results showed that as the number of Li atoms increased, the stability of the LimBn cluster decreased and the physical and chemical properties became more active. In addition, on average there was a large charge transfer from the Li atoms to the B atoms.     

Ab initio study of the electronic structures and conduction properties of some novel low band-gap donor-acceptor polymers

The results of the electronic structures and conduction properties of four novel donor-acceptor polymers based on polysilole, obtained on the basis of ab initio Hartree-Fock crystal orbital method using their optimized geometries, are reported. The repeat unit of these polymers consists of bicyclopentadisilole unit bridged by an electron-accepting group Y(Y=CCH₂ in PSICH, CO in PSICF, CCF₂ and CC(CN)₂ in PSICN). All the polymers on the basis of their geometries and π-bond order values are found to have benzenoid-type electronic structures. Comparison of the important electronic properties such as ionization potential, electron affinity and band-gap of these polymers indicates PSICN to be the best candidate for intrinsic conductivity and reductive (n-) doping while PSICH is predicted to be the best candidate for oxidative (p-) doping. All these polymers are estimated to have band-gap values ranging between 1 and 2 eV. The low band-gap values of these polymers are rationalised on the basis of the patterns of their frontier orbitals.     

Density functional investigation of structural and electronic properties of small bimetallic silver–gold clusters

Structural and electronic properties of bimetallic silver–gold clusters up to eight atoms are investigated by the density functional theory using Wu and Cohen generalized gradient approximation functional. By substitution of Ag and Au atoms, in the optimized lowest energy structures of pure gold and silver clusters, we determine the ground state conformations of the bimetallic silver–gold ones. We reveal that Ag atoms prefer internal positions whereas Au atoms prefer exposed ones favoring charge transfer from Ag to Au atoms. For each size and composition, binding energy, HOMO–LUMO gap, magnetic moment, vertical ionization potential, electron affinity and chemical hardness were calculated. On increasing the size of the cluster by varying number of Ag atoms with fixed number of Au ones, vertical ionization potential and electron affinity show obvious odd–even oscillations consistent with the pure Ag and Au clusters. Au atoms inclusion in the cluster increases the binding energy and vertical ionization potential, indicating higher stability as the number of Au atoms grows. The variation of chemical hardness with the composition in a cluster with the same size shows peaks when the number of Ag atoms is greater than or equal to Au ones, corresponding to transition from planar to tri-dimensional structures. For clusters with even number of atoms, the peaks indicate that the clusters with the same number of Ag and Au atoms are the most stable ones. Analyzing the density of states, we found that increasing the concentration of Ag atoms affects the energy separation between the HOMO and the low lying occupied states.     

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.
