Pd对O吸附在ZnO（0001）面上的影响的第一性原理研究

本文用第一性原理方法计算了Pd 在ZnO(0001)面上的吸附、Pd对O吸附的影响及Pd替代表面Zn原子能量的变化.结果表明：(1) Pd的吸附位置不随覆盖度变化,Pd稳定吸附位为H3位;(2)Pd在1/4单层吸附时比1个单层吸附时稳定;(3)Pd的存在增强了氧在ZnO(0001)面上的吸附,O原子可以扩散到Pd吸附层的下,Pd处于最上面, 具有催化作用.     

Ab initio study on crystal structure and phase stability of ZrC_2 under high pressure

The structural stabilities and crystal evolution behaviors of the hyper stoichiometric compound ZrC₂(carbon rich;C/Zr> 1.0) are studied under ambient and high pressure conditions using first-principles calculations in combination with the particle-swarm optimization algorithm.Six viable structures of ZrC₂ in P21/c,Cmmm,Cmc2₁,P4₂/nmc,Immm and P6/mmm symmetries are identified.These structures are dynamically stable as their phonon spectra have no imaginary modes at zero pressure or at the selected high-pressure points.Among them,the P21/c phase represents the ground state structure,whereas P21/c,P4₂/nmc,Immm and P6/mmm phases are part of the phase transition series.The phase order and critical pressures of the phase transition are determined to be approximately 300 GPa according to the equation of states and enthalpy.Furthermore,the mechanical and electronic properties are investigated.The P21/c and Cmc2₁ phases display a semi-metal nature,whereas the P4₂/nmc,Immm,P6/mmm and Cmmm phases exhibit a metallic nature.Moreover,the present study reveals considerable information regarding the structural,mechanical and electronic properties of ZrC₂,thereby providing key insights into its material properties and evaluating its behavior in practical applications.
