聚铜络合物[Cu(L)μ-1,3-N3]n(ClO4)n的密度泛函计算及磁性研究

基于广义梯度近似密度泛函和全势能线性缀加平面波方法,本文对聚铜络合物[Cu(L)μ-1,3-N3]n(ClO4)n(其中L=tridentate Schiff base为三齿席夫基)的态密度和磁矩进行了计算.磁矩计算结果表明:①该聚铜络合物晶体格子的总磁矩为1.00 μB;②中心铜原子(离子)具有最大的原子磁矩,为0.531 μB;③铜原子和它周围最邻近的氮原子的原子磁矩是该聚铜络合物晶体格子总磁矩的主要来源.通过对中心铜原子及其最邻近氮原子的自旋态密度图进行分析,得出了铜原子和它周围最邻近氮原子的磁性主要分别来源于它们的d轨道和p轨道,同时还发现了中心铜离子的d轨道与叠氮末端氮原子的p轨道之间存在杂化现象, 以及中心铜离子向叠氮末端氮原子的自旋退局域化现象.自旋退局域化效应通过叠氮这一旁道使相邻两中心铜离子发生铁磁性相互作用.     

密度泛函方法研究NiSin(n=1~13)团簇

基于第一性原理,利用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似(GGA)系统研究了NiSin(n=1～13)团簇,在充分考虑自旋多重度的基础上讨论了这些团簇的生长行为,电子性质及其磁性,结果表明:NiSin 1的基态结构是在NiSin的基态结构上带帽一个Si原子而得到;随着团簇尺寸的增大,Ni原子逐渐从吸附在sin团簇的表面位置移动到Sin团簇笼内;掺杂Ni原子提高了硅团簇的稳定性;NiSi10团簇的稳定性在所有团簇中是最高的;电子总是从si向Ni转移,Ni原子所带的电荷数不仅与Ni原子的配位数有关,还与Nisin团簇的基态结构密切相关;n=1～2时,团簇的自旋总磁矩为2 μB,当n≥3时,团簇的磁性消失,这可能与Ni原子内部较强的sp-d杂化以及si原子内部的s-p杂化有关.

V掺杂ZnO团簇的结构和磁性质

本文采用第一性原理密度泛函理论系统的研究了V原子单掺杂和双掺杂(ZnO)12团簇的结构和磁性质。我们考虑了三种掺杂方式：替代掺杂,外掺杂和内掺杂。单掺杂时,替代掺杂团簇是最稳定结构,而对于双掺杂,外掺杂团簇是最稳定结构。团簇磁矩主要来自V-3d态的贡献,4s和4p态也贡献了一小部分磁矩。由于轨道杂化,相邻的Zn和O原子上也产生少量自旋。V原子掺杂团簇的总磁矩与掺杂位置有关,说明V掺杂(ZnO)12团簇在可调磁矩的磁性材料领域有潜在应用价值。

Ab initio study of neutral (TiO2)n clusters and their interactions with water and transition metal atoms

We have systematically investigated the growth behavior and stability of small stoichiometric (TiO(2))(n) (n = 1-10) clusters as well as their structural, electronic and magnetic properties by using the first-principles plane wave pseudopotential method within density functional theory. In order to find out the ground state geometries, a large number of initial cluster structures for each n has been searched via total energy calculations. Generally, the ground state structures for the case of n = 1-9 clusters have at least one monovalent O atom, which only binds to a single Ti atom. However, the most stable structure of the n = 10 cluster does not have any monovalent O atom. On the other hand, Ti atoms are at least fourfold coordinated for the ground state structures for n ≥ 4 clusters. Our calculations have revealed that clusters prefer to form three-dimensional structures. Furthermore, all these stoichiometric clusters have nonmagnetic ground state. The formation energy and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap for the most stable structure of (TiO(2))(n) clusters for each n have also been calculated. The formation energy and hence the stability increases as the cluster size grows. In addition, the interactions between the ground state structure of the (TiO(2))(n) cluster and a single water molecule have been studied. The binding energy (E(b)) of the H(2)O molecule exhibits an oscillatory behavior with the size of the clusters. A single water molecule preferably binds to the cluster Ti atom through its oxygen atom, resulting an average binding energy of 1.1 eV. We have also reported the interaction of the selected clusters (n = 3, 4, 10) with multiple water molecules. We have found that additional water molecules lead to a decrease in the binding energy of these molecules to the (TiO(2))(n) clusters. Finally, the adsorption of transition metal (TM) atoms (V, Co and Pt) on the n = 10 cluster has been investigated for possible functionalization. All these elements interact strongly with this cluster, and a permanent magnetic moment is induced upon adsorption of Co and V atoms. We have observed gap localized TM states leading to significant HOMO-LUMO gap narrowing, which is essential to achieve visible light response for the efficient use of TiO(2) based materials. In this way, electronic and optical as well as magnetic properties of TiO(2) materials can be modulated by using the appropriate adsorbate atoms.     

Absence of intrinsic ferromagnetic interactions of isolated and paired Co dopant atoms in Zn1-xCoxO with high structural perfection

We report element specific structural and magnetic investigations on Zn(1-x)Co(x)O epitaxial films using synchrotron radiation. Co dopants exclusively occupy Zn sites as revealed by x-ray linear dichroism having an unprecedented degree of structural perfection. Comparative magnetic field dependent measurements by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and conventional magnetometry consistently show purely paramagnetic behavior for isolated Co dopant atoms with a magnetic moment of 4.8 (mu B). However, the total magnetization is reduced by approximately 30%, demonstrating that Co-O-Co pairs are antiferromagnetically coupled. We find no sign of intrinsic ferromagnetic interactions for isolated or paired Co dopant atoms in Co:ZnO films.     

RhnBe(n=1-7)团簇结构和磁性的密度泛函研究

First-principles calculations for titanium monoxide clusters TinO （n=1-9）

Based on the density-functional theory, this paper studies the geometric and magnetic properties of TinO （n=1-9） clusters. The resulting geometries show that the oxygen atom remains on the surface of clusters and does not change the geometry of Tin significantly. The binding energy, second-order energy differences with the size of clusters show that Ti7O cluster is endowed with special stability. The stability of TinO clusters is validated by the recent time-of-flight mass spectra. The total magnetic moments for TinO clusters with n=1-4, 8-9 are constant with 2 and drop to zero at n=5-7. The local magnetic moment and charge partition of each atom, and the density of states are discussed. The magnetic moment of the TinO is clearly dominated by the localized 3d electrons of Ti atoms while the oxygen atom contributes a very small amount of spin in TinO clusters.     

过渡金属掺杂氧化锌团簇的物性研究

本文采用第一性原理密度泛函理论研究了过渡金属（TM）原子Cr和Fe单掺杂和双掺杂(ZnO)12团簇的结构和磁性质。我们考虑了替代掺杂和间隙掺杂。结果表明Cr 和 Fe间隙掺杂团簇结构最稳定。团簇磁矩主要来自TM原子3d态的贡献,4s 和4p 态也贡献了一小部分磁矩。由于轨道杂化,相邻的Zn和O原子上也产生少量自旋。最近邻TM原子间的磁性耦合,主要由两个TM原子之间的直接短程铁磁耦合和TM和O原子之间通过p-d杂化产生的反铁磁耦合这两种相互作用的竞争来决定。不同TM原子掺杂团簇的总磁矩与TM原子种类以及掺杂位置有关,说明在(ZnO)12团簇中掺杂不同TM原子在可调磁矩的磁性材料的领域有潜在应用价值。     

Magnetic and optical properties of Cu-doped ZnO nanosheet: First-principles calculations

We performed first-principles calculations within density-functional theory to study the magnetic and optical properties of Cu-doped ZnO nanosheet (NS). We found that Cu atom prefers to substitute for Zn site and can induce a local magnetic moment of 1.00 μ_B per unit in ZnO NS. When two Zn atoms are substituted by two Cu dopants, they tend to form a cluster and ferromagnetic (FM) ordering becomes energetically more favorable. In addition, localized states appear within the band gap due to the introduction of Cu dopant to ZnO NS. With increasing Cu concentrations, both the imaginary part of dielectric function and the absorption spectrum exhibit a red-shift behavior, which are in good agreement with the recent experimental results. The ferromagnetic coupling can be attributed to the p–d hybridization mechanism. The intriguing properties of Cu-doped ZnO NS may be promising for designing novel multifunctional nanodevice.     

Structures,stabilities,and magnetic properties of the Fe_nAu(n=1-12) clusters

The configurations,stabilities,electronic,and magnetic properties of Fe_nAu(n = 1–12) clusters are investigated systematically by using the relativistic all-electron density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation.The substitutional effects of Au in Fe_(n+1)(n = 1,2,4,5,10–12) clusters are found in optimized structures which keep the similar frameworks with the most stable Fe_(n+1)clusters.And the growth way for Fe_nAu(n = 6–9) clusters is that the Au atom occupies a peripheral position of Fen cluster.The peaks appear respectively at n = 6 and 9 for Fen Au clusters and at n = 5 and 10 for Fe_(n+1)clusters based on the size dependence of second-order difference of energy,implying that these clusters possess relatively high stabilities.The analysis of atomic net charge Q indicates that the charge always transfers from Fe to Au atom which causes the Au atom to be nearly non-magnetic,and the doped Au atom has little effect on the average magnetic moment of Fe atoms in Fen Au cluster.Finally,the total magnetic moment is reduced by 3 μB for each of Fen Au clusters except n = 3,11,and 12 compared with for corresponding pure Fe_(n+1) clusters.     

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of the N monodoping and (Li, N)-codoped ZnO

Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we investigated systematically the electronic structures and magnetic properties of N monodoping and (Li, N) codoping in ZnO. The results indicate that monodoping of N in ZnO favors a spin-polarized state with a magnetic moment of 0.95 μ_B per supercell and the magnetic moment mainly comes from the unpaired 2p electrons of N and O atoms. In addition, it was found that monodoping of N in ZnO is a weak ferromagnet and it is the spin-polarized O atoms that mediate the ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the two N atoms. Interestingly, by Li substitutional doping at the cation site (Li_Zn), the ferromagnetic stability can be increased significantly and the formation energy can be evidently reduced for the defective system. Therefore, we think that the enhancement of ferromagnetic stability should be attributed to the accessorial holes and the lower formation energy induced by Li_Zn doping.     

Si3Xn (X=C,O,N;n=1,2)团簇的密度泛函研究

使用密度泛函理论(DFT)的杂化密度泛函B3LYP方法在6-31G*基组水平上对Si3Xn(X=C,O,N;n=1,2)团簇各种可能的构型进行几何结构优化,预测了各团簇的最稳定结构.并对最稳定结构的电子结构、振动特性、成键特性和电荷特性等进行了理论研究.结果表明团簇的几何结构都是平面结构,通常Si3X2出现是Si-X键,较少出现X-X键;而Si3X中出现Si-X键和Si-Si键共存,Si3Xn(X=C,O,N;n=1,2)团簇的电荷布局分布表明这种电荷转移的作用使得团簇中所有X原子呈负电性,Si原子显正电性.处于不同位置的Si原子呈不同大小布局数,而且由于Si3X2的对称性,2个X负电性相同.     

ab initio Study of Electronic Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Novel Two-Dimensional Copper(II)-Radical Complex [Cu(NTTmPy)2(N3)2]n

The full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method with the generalized gradient approximations (GGA) is applied to study the compound [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n (NITmPy=2-(3'-Pyridy1)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazolin-1-oxy1-3-oxide). The total density of states (DOS) and the partial density of states (pDOS) are calculated to explain the electronic and the magnetic properties of [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n. It is found that [Cu(NTTmPy)₂(N₃)₂]_n is stable in the ferromagnetic state and the magnetic moment of the molecule mainly comes from the Cu atoms (0.518 μ_B) with partial contribution from N, O atoms of nitronyl nitroxide radicals. There exist orbital hybridization between 3d orbital of Cu and p orbitals of N(1) (from pyridyl rings of the NITmPy ligands) and N(4) (from azido group) and the weak direct exchange interactions between Cu and O atoms of nitronyl nitroxides. In addition, the bridging carbon atom (C(6)) carries a significant negative spin density (-0.019μ_B). The sign alternation of the magnetic moment along the pyridyl ring is obtained, which agrees with experiments.

钒掺杂硫化锌团簇稳定性和磁性质研究

本文采用密度泛函理论研究了V原子单掺杂和双掺杂(ZnS)12团簇的几何结构和能量稳定性。我们考虑了三种掺杂方式：替代掺杂,外掺杂和内掺杂。单掺杂时,替代掺杂团簇是最稳定结构,而对于双掺杂,外掺杂团簇是最稳定结构。团簇磁矩主要来自V-3d态的贡献,4s和4p态也贡献了一小部分磁矩。由于轨道杂化,相邻的Zn和S原子上也产生少量自旋。结果显示V原子间的磁性耦合是短程相互作用。相邻V原子之间的磁性耦合由直接的V-V反铁磁耦合和两个V和S原子之间通过p-d杂化产生的铁磁耦合这两中相互作用的竞争来决定。
