DFT Study of Metal Atoms Adsorbed at Low-coordinated Sites of MgO （001） Surface

1 INTRODUCTION The interfaces between metals and oxide play a vital role in many industrial applications: hetero- geneous catalysis, microelectronics, thermal barriers, corrosion protection, metal processing and so on[1]. In catalysis, the choice of metal and oxide support is critical in order to obtain a desired reactivity and selectivity[2]. This is due in part to the inherent reac- tivity of the two components. Also the size and shape of the metal particle, which depend on the choice…     

Initial anticrossing between Stark manifold <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+1 in Na

We present the theoretical results for the positions and widths of the initial anticrossing between Stark manifold n and n + 1 in sodium, obtained by using the method of diagonalization in which zero-field wave functions are chosen from a kind of atomic potential model. These results can provide the quantitative information for understanding the microwave ionization process, whose rate-limiting step is probably the n to n + 1 transition performed at the first crossing between the outermost states of these two manifolds.     

Ionization thresholds and positions of avoided crossing of potassium Stark Rydberg states: a Stark-adapted quantum defect orbital treatment

We have calculated the positions of the avoided level crossings between (n+2)s, np states and nd, k Stark states in the Rydberg Stark states of the potassium atom with principal quantum number n comprised between 12 and 17. We have also studied the adiabatic electric field ionization thresholds for the above Rydberg states. Both the ionization thresholds and the positions of avoided crossings have been calculated using the recently developed Stark-adapted quantum defect orbital (SQDO) formalism. The presently reported values appear to be in very good agreement with the available theoretical and experimental data.     

斯蒂芬酸氢铷的制备，晶体结构和热分解机理

A new compound,[RbHTNR]_∞[HTNR:C_6H(NO_2)_3(OH)O],was synthesized by the reaction of rubidium ni-trate and styphnic acid.The molecular structure was characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis,elementalanalysis and FTIR spectroscopy.The crystalline is monoclinic with space group P2_1/n and the empirical formulaC_6H_2N_3O_8Rb.The unit cell parameters are:a=0.4525 nm,b=1.0777 nm,c=1.9834 nm,β=90.47(2)°,V=0.96725 nm~3,Z=4,D_c=2.263 g/cm~3,Mr=329.58,F(000)=640,μ(Mo Kα)=5.165 mm~(-1).The thermal decompo-sition mechanism of the complex was studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry(TG-DTG)and FTIR techniques.At the linear rate of 10 ℃/min,the thermaldecomposition of the complex showed three mass reducing processes between 60 and 500 ℃,and finally evolvedRbCN and some gaseous products.     

Phase Diagram for the RbBr–CuBr System

The phase diagram for the RbBr–CuBr system has been determined. In the system two intermediate compounds are formed: RbCu₂Br₃, melting congruently at 537 K and Rb₃CuBr₄, melting incongruently at 544 K. The coordinates of the two eutectic points are: 501 K, 54 mole% CuBr and 522 K, 74 mole% CuBr. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Accurate integration over atomic regions bounded by zero‐flux surfaces

The approach for the integration over a region covered by zero‐flux surface is described. This approach based on the surface triangulation technique is efficiently realized in a newly developed program TWOE . The elaborated method is tested on several atomic properties including the source function. TWOE results are compared with those produced by using well‐known existing programs. Absolute errors in computed atomic properties are shown to range usually from 10^?6 to 10^?5 au. The demonstrative examples prove that present realization has perfect convergence of atomic properties with increasing size of angular grid and allows to obtain highly accurate data even in the most difficult cases. It is believed that the developed program can be bridgehead that allows to implement atomic partitioning of any desired molecular property with high accuracy. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

不同光场二阶相干度的实验研究

基于Hanbury Brown-Twiss(HBT)实验,我们借助于两个单光子计数模块,一个50/50分束器和一个快速计数卡(FastCom-P7888)研究了不同光场的二阶相干度。我们首先制备了脉冲相干光,连续相干光以及单原子发出的单光子源,并测量这几种不同光场的二阶相干度g(2)(τ)。我们通过测量俘获在磁光阱(MOT)和远失谐偶极阱(FORT)中的单原子在近共振连续激光激发下所辐射的荧光的二阶相干度,分别得到了g(2)(τ=0)=0.08和g(2)(τ=0)=0.09,借助于实验中产生的脉冲光与单原子,接下来我们将进行触发式单光子源的实验研究。     

Molecular QTAIM Topology Is Sensitive to Relativistic Corrections

The topology of the molecular electron density of benzene dithiol gold cluster complex Au₄−S−C₆H₄−S′−Au′₄ changed when relativistic corrections were made and the structure was close to a minimum of the Born–Oppenheimer energy surface. Specifically, new bond paths between hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring and gold atoms appeared, indicating that there is a favorable interaction between these atoms at the relativistic level. This is consistent with the observation that gold becomes a better electron acceptor when relativistic corrections are applied. In addition to relativistic effects, here, we establish the sensitivity of molecular topology to basis sets and convergence thresholds for geometry optimization.
