CoBn(n≤19)团簇结构、电子性质和磁性的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似(Generalized Gradient Approximation, GGA)方法, 对不同自旋多重度的CoBn(n≤19)团簇的平衡几何结构、电子性质和磁性进行了研究. 随着尺寸的增加, CoBn(n≤19)团簇最低能量结构从平面结构逐步演变为立体结构, Co从主团簇的外部向内部转移. 团簇最低能量结构的二阶能量差分表明CoB3、CoB7、CoB10、CoB12、CoB14和CoB16团簇较相邻团簇稳定. Co的掺杂增强了硼团簇的化学活性. 最低能量结构中Co的d轨道和B的p轨道存在着明显的杂化. 当n<13, Co处于主团簇的外部时, Co的带电量为正, Co具有磁矩. 当n≥13, Co处于主团簇的内部时, Co的带电量为负, Co的磁矩几乎为零. 团簇最低能量结构的总磁矩主要来自Co的3d轨道的贡献, 且总磁矩随团簇尺寸增大呈现奇偶振荡.     

FeBN(N≤15)团簇结构、电子性质和磁性的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似(Generalized Gradient Approximation, GGA)方法, 对不同自旋多重度的FeBN(N≤15)团簇的平衡几何结构、电子性质和磁性进行了研究. 团簇基态结构的平均结合能、二阶能量差分和能隙均表明FeB8、FeB12和FeB14团簇较相邻团簇稳定. 团簇基态结构中Fe原子的d轨道和B原子的p轨道存在着明显的杂化. 团簇基态结构的总磁矩主要来自Fe原子3d轨道的贡献, 且总磁矩随团簇尺寸增大呈现奇偶振荡.     

A density-functional theory for (BAs)n clusters (n=1 14): structures, stabilities and electronic properties

This paper investigates the lowest-energy structures,stabilities and electronic properties of (BAs) n clusters (n=1-14) by means of the density-functional theory.The results show that the lowest-energy structures undergo a structural change from two-dimensional to three-dimensional when n=4.With the increase of the cluster size (n 6),the (BAs) n clusters tend to adopt cage-like structures,which can be considered as being built from B 2 As 2 and six-membered rings with B-As bond alternative arrangement.The binding energy per atom,second-order energy differences,vertical electron affinity and vertical ionization potential are calculated and discussed.The caculated HOMO-LUMO gaps reveal that the clusters have typical semiconductor characteristics.The analysis of partial density of states suggests that there are strong covalence and molecular characteristics in the clusters.
