Phase Transition and Phonon Spectrum of Zinc-Blende Structure ZnX （X = S,Se, Te）

Calculations have been performed to investigate the pressure-induced solid-solid phase transitions and the mechanical stability for three zinc-blende II-VI semiconductor compounds： ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe by ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory （DFT）. Using the generalized gradient approximation （GGA） for exchange and correlation in the scheme of Perdew-Wang 1991 （P Wgl ）, the ground state properties and equation of state are obtained, which are well consistent with the experimental data available and other calculations. On the basis of the forth-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of states, the transition pressures Pt are determined through the analysis of enthalpy variation with pressure. A linear-response approach is used to calculate the frequencies of the phonon dispersion. Finally, by the calculations of phonon frequencies, some thermodynamic properties such as the vibrational contribution to the Helmholtz free energy （F）, enthedpy （H）, entropy （S）, and the heat capacity （Cv ） are also successfully obtained.     

UF6分子的模型伸缩振动能级的计算

利用一个四参数非线性模型,对处于电子基态下的XY6型分子的X-Y键的伸缩振动进行了描述,并将其应用于计算UF6分子中U-F键的伸缩振动能级.计算中引入的模型Hamilton算符所包含的描述U-F键非谐振动的参数λ和描述U-F键之间的偶极-偶极相互作用参数ε1, ε2由实验值得出,波函数|ψn〉按形式为|n,α〉=|n1〉|n2〉|n3〉|n4〉|n5〉|n6〉的基函数集展开,从而把复杂的Hamilton方程转化为简单的矩阵代数方程.结果显示,该非线性模型能够较好地描述UF6分子的振动( 计算误差在1.0 cm-1之内 ),同时合理地预测了一些至今还未观测到的能级值.

单轴应变条件下Fe从α到ε结构相变机制的第一性原理计算

采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波赝势方法,研究了沿［001］方向单轴应变条件下Fe从体心立方结构(bcc,α相)到六角密排结构(hcp,ε相)相变的临界压力、相变路径、相变势垒以及相变过程中原子磁性的变化.结果发现:单轴应变条件下Fe从α到ε结构的相变路径与以前理论计算模拟给出的静水压力条件下的相变路径明显不同;原子磁矩沿着相变路径突然降低,同时伴随着能量和体积的突然变化,是典型的一阶磁性相转变,表明原子磁性的丧失导致了bcc结构不稳定而向hcp结构转变.对单轴应变下吉布斯自由能的计算表明,相变势垒随着单轴应 关键词： 相变 单轴应变 第一性原理 铁

Ab Initio Calculations of Elastic Constants of Li2O under Pressure

We investigate the equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus, elastic constants and Debye temperature of Li2O under pressure by using ab initio unrestricted Hartree-Fock （HF） linear combination of atomic orbital （LCAO） periodic approach. The obtained results at zero pressure are well consistent with the available experimental data and other theoretical results, It is found that the elastic constants C11, C12 and C44 and bulk modulus B increase monotonously as pressure increases. Also, the anisotropy will weaken and the Debye temperature will rise with pressure increasing.     

First-Principles Calculations for Structures and Melting Temperature of Si6 Clusters

We investigate the structures and the melting temperature of the Si6 cluster by using the first-principles pseudopotential method in real space and Langevin molecular dynamics. It is shown that the ground structure of the Si6 cluster is a square bipyramid, and the corresponding melting temperature is about 1923 K. In the heating procedure, the structures of the Si6 cluster change from high symmetry structures containing 5-8 bonds, via prolate structures containing 3-4 bonds, to oblate structures containing 1-2 bonds.
