铀的弹性、能带结构和光学常数的第一性原理计算

采用密度泛函理论,赝势平面波方法计算了金属铀a相的晶体结构,弹性常数,体模量,电子能带结构和光学常数(折射率n和消光系数k)等.其中,铀的晶格参数,弹性常数和体模量等与实验及其它第一性原理计算结果十分吻合.计算得到了铀的光学常数,与实验结果作了对比并进行了分析说明.     

铝中氦原子行为的密度泛函研究

用密度泛函理论计算了大量He原子存在时He在金属铝中不同位置的能量,并在理论上预测了铝中的氦原子行为。结果表明,铝晶胞内He原子择优占位区是空位,而在整个晶体范围,最有利于容纳He原子的区域是晶界,其次是空位和位错。在fcc-铝的两种间隙位中,He原子优先充填四面体间隙位。间隙He原子的迁移能很小,易于通过迁移在晶内聚集,或被空位、晶界、位错等缺陷束缚。

Site selective 5f electronic correlations in β-uranium

We investigate the electronic structure of $\beta$-uranium, which has five nonequivalent atomic sites in its unit cell, by means of the density functional theory plus Hubbard-$U$ correction with $U$ from linear response calculation. It is found that the 5f electronic correlations in $\beta$-uranium are moderate. More interestingly, their strengths are site selective, depending on the local atomic environment of the present uranium atom. As a consequence, the occupation matrices and partial 5f density of states of $\beta$-uranium manifest site dependence. In addition, the complicate experimental structure of $\beta$-uranium could be well reproduced within this theoretical framework.
