The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of small BnAl-(2〈n〈9)clusters are systematicalyy investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory. The results show that the A1 atom prefers to reside either on the outer-side or above the surface, but not in the centre of the clusters in all of the most stable BnAl-(2〈n〈9) isomers and the one excess electron is strong enough to modify the geometries of some specific sizes of the neutral clusters. All the results of the analysis for the fragmentation energies, the second-order difference of energies, and the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps show that B4A1- and B8A1- clusters each have a higher relative stability. Especially, the BsA1-cluster has the most enhanced chemical stability. Furthermore, both the local magnetic moments and the total magnetic moments display a pronounced oddeven oscillation with the number of boron atoms, and the magnetic effects arise mainly from the boron atoms except for the B7A1- and BgA1- clusters. 相似文献

Equilibrium geometries, stabilities, and electronic properties of small Ti_mZr_n(n + m ≤ 5) clusters were investigated using the density functional method. The ground states were determined, and it was found that the larger clusters and those consisting of more Zr atoms are more stable. The electronic properties of the clusters were discussed based on HOMO-LUMO gaps, vertical ionization potentials(VIP), and vertical electron affinities(VEA). Furthermore, we studied the interactions between those clusters and molecular hydrogen, and found that in all the cases dissociative chemisorptions occurred. According to the chemisorption energies, the pure Zr clusters are relatively more active towards H_2 when compared with the others except Ti_3Zr, which shows the highest activity. The magnetic moments of Ti_mZr_n and Ti_mZr_nH_2 were also compared, and the results show that the hydrogenated clusters have the same or decreased total magnetic moments with respect to the bare clusters except for Ti_3Zr_2. 相似文献

The geometries,electronic and magnetic properties of the trimetallic clusters Fe Al Aun(n = 1–6) are systematically investigated using density functional theory(DFT).A number of new isomers are obtained to probe the structural evolutions.All doped clusters show larger relative binding energies than pure Aun+2partners,indicating that doping with Fe and Al atoms can stabilize the Aun clusters.The highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(HOMO–LUMO) gaps,vertical ionization potentials and vertical electron affinities are also studied and compared with those of pure gold clusters.Magnetism calculations demonstrate that the magnetic moments of Fe Al Aun clusters each show a pronounced odd–even oscillation with the number of Au atoms. 相似文献

The ground-state configurations of the Nbn (n = 2-11) clusters are studied through the first-principles calculations. It is found that niobium clusters (n = 2-11) tend to form compact structures with low symmetry. The clusters with 4, 8 and 10 atoms are found to be magic and have relatively large highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gaps. The Nbn clusters possess low magnetic moments, which exhibit an odd-even oscillational character. The analyses of calculated electronic density and population of the lowest-energy niobium clusters for n = 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 show that the total magnetic moments of Nbn originate mainly from a few Nb atoms with longer spacings between them in most cases, while they are located on two Nb atoms for n = 2, 3, 5. The total magnetic moments come mainly from the 4d local moments but with the exception of the Nb5 cluster. 相似文献

The most stable isomers of NanBm(m+n=6) clusters and their hydrogen storage properties are investigated by means of density functional theory with a 6-311+G(d) basis set. To study the hydrogen storage properties,all of the stable structures of Na n BmHx (m+n=6) clusters have been optimized. It shows that boron atoms of Na n B m are separated from the other boron atoms,and form satellite BHx (x=3,4) clusters around the centre,which attach to the system by a bridging bond of a hydrogen atom or an Na atom. Compared with the hydrogen storage capabilities,the Na3B3 has the highest hydrogen storage capacity among Na n B m clusters. The binding energies,interaction energies of hydrogen atom with Na n B m clusters and second difference in energy of Na3B3Hx clusters have been calculated. The results show that the stability of the Na n B m H x clusters present an odd-even oscillatory effect,as the number of H atoms increases. 相似文献

The equilibrium geometries and electronic properties of CumSin (2 ≤m + n ≤ 7) clusters have been studied by using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311+G (d) level. Our results indicate that the structure of CuSin (n 〈6) keeps the frame of the corresponding Sin cluster unchanged, while for CunSi clusters, the rectangular pyramid structure of Cu4Si is shown to be a building block in many structures of larger CunSi clusters. The growth patterns of CumSin clusters become more complicated as the number of Cu atoms increases. Both the binding energies and the fragmentation energies indicate that the Si-Si bond is stronger than the Cu-Si bond, and the latter is stronger than the Cu-Cu bond. Combining the fragmentation energies in the process CumSin →Cu+Cum-l Sin and the second-order difference △2E(m) against the number of Cu atoms of CumSin, we conclude that CumSin clusters with even number of Cu atoms have higher stabilities than those with odd rn. According to frontier orbital analyses, there exists a mixed ionic and covalent bonding picture between Cu and Si atoms, and the Cud orbitals contribute little to the Cu-Si bonding. For a certain cluster size (m + n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), the energy gaps of the most stable CumSin clusters show odd-even oscillation with changing m, the clusters with odd m exhibit stronger chemical reactivity than those with even m.[第一段] 相似文献

The equilibrium geometries, relative stabilities, and electronic properties of MnAgm(M=Na, Li; n + m ≤ 7) as well as pure Agn, Nan, Lin (n ≤ 7) clusters are systematically investigated by means of the density functional theory. The optimized geometries reveal that for 2 ≤ n ≤ 7, there are significant similarities in geometry among pure Agn, Nan, and Lin clusters, and the transitions from planar to three-dimensional configurations occur at n = 7, 7, and 6, respectively. In contrast, the first three-dimensional (3D) structures are observed at n + m = 5 for both NanAgm and LinAgm clusters. When n + m ≥5, a striking feature is that the trigonal bipyramid becomes the main subunit of LinAgm. Furthermore, dramatic odd-even alternative behaviours are obtained in the fragmentation energies, secondorder difference energies, highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps, and chemical hardness for both pure and doped clusters. The analytic results exhibit that clusters with an even electronic configuration (2, 4, 6) possess the weakest chemical reactivity and more enhanced stability. 相似文献

This paper investigates the geometrical structures and relative stabilities of neutral AlS n(n = 2-9) using the density functional theory.Structural optimisation and frequency analysis are performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level.The ground state structures of the AlS n show that the sulfur atoms prefer not only to evenly distribute on both sides of the aluminum atom but also to form stable structures in AlS n clusters.The structures of pure S n are fundamentally changed due to the doping of the Al atom.The fragmentation energies and the second-order energy differences are calculated and discussed.Among neutral AlS n(n = 2-9) clusters,AlS 4 and AlS 6 are the most stable. 相似文献

This paper obtains the lowest-energy geometric structures and the
electronic and magnetic properties of small CuNiN clusters by
using all-electron density functional theory. The calculated results
reveal that the Cu atom prefers to occupy the apical site when N
≤ 9 and for the clusters with N=10, the Cu atom starts to
encapsulate in the cage. The CuNi7} and CuNi9 are magic
clusters. The magnetism correlates closely with the symmetry of the
clusters. For these clusters, the charge tends to transfer from the
nickel atoms to the copper atoms. It finds that the doping of Cu
atom decreases the stability of pure NiN clusters. 相似文献

Based on the density-functional theory, this paper studies the geometric and magnetic properties of TinO (n=1-9) clusters. The resulting geometries show that the oxygen atom remains on the surface of clusters and does not change the geometry of Tin significantly. The binding energy, second-order energy differences with the size of clusters show that Ti7O cluster is endowed with special stability. The stability of TinO clusters is validated by the recent time-of-flight mass spectra. The total magnetic moments for TinO clusters with n=1-4, 8-9 are constant with 2 and drop to zero at n=5-7. The local magnetic moment and charge partition of each atom, and the density of states are discussed. The magnetic moment of the TinO is clearly dominated by the localized 3d electrons of Ti atoms while the oxygen atom contributes a very small amount of spin in TinO clusters. 相似文献

The equilibrium geometries, relative stabilities, and electronic properties of Ca2Sin (n = 1-11) clusters have been systematically investigated by using the density function theory at the 6-311G (d) level The optimized geometries indicate that the most stable isomers have three-dimensional structures for n = 3-11. The electronic properties of Ca2 Sin (n = 1-11) dusters axe obtained through the analysis of the natural charge population, natural electron configuration, vertical ionization potential, and vertical electron affinity. The results show that the charges in corresponding Ca2Sin clusters transfer from the Ca atoms to the Sin host. Based on the obtained lowest-energy geometries, the size dependence of cluster properties, such as averaged binding energies, fragmentation energies, second-order energy differences, HOMO- LUMO gaps and chemical hardness, are deeply discussed. 相似文献

Density functional theory(DFT) with the B3 LYP method and the SDD basis set is selected to investigate In_nNi,In_nNi~-, and In_nNi~+ (n = 1–14) clusters. For neutral and charged systems, several isomers and different multiplicities are studied with the aim to confirm the most stable structures. The structural evolution of neutral, cationic, and anionic In_nNi clusters, which favors the three-dimensional structures for n = 3–14. The main configurations of the In_nNi isomers are not affected by adding or removing an electron, the order of their stabilities is also nearly not affected. The obtained binding energy exhibits that the Ni-doped In_(13) cluster is the most stable species of all different sized clusters. The calculated fragmentation energy and the second-order energy difference as a function of the cluster size exhibit a pronounced even–odd alternation phenomenon. The electronic properties including energy gap(E_g), adiabatic electron affinity(AEA), vertical electron detachment energy(VDE), adiabatic ionization potential energy(AIP), and vertical ionization potential energy(VIP) are studied. The total magnetic moments show that the different magnetic moments depend on the number of the In atoms for charged In_nNi. Additionally, the natural population analysis of In_nNi~((0,±1)clusters is also discussed. 相似文献

The geometric structures, electronic properties, total and binding energies, harmonic frequencies, the highest occupied molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps, and the vertical ionization potential energies of small LimBn (m+ n = 12) clusters were investigated by the density functional theory B3LYP with a 6-31 I+G (2d, 2p) basis set. All the calculations were performed using the Gaussian09 program. For the study of the LimBn clusters, the global minimum of the B 12 cluster was chosen as the starting point and the boron atoms were gradually replaced by Li atoms. The results showed that as the number of Li atoms increased, the stability of the LimBn cluster decreased and the physical and chemical properties became more active. In addition, on average there was a large charge transfer from the Li atoms to the B atoms. 相似文献

The structural and magnetic properties of Fen-m Gam (n=3 ~ 6,m=0 ~ 2;n=13,m=0 ~ 3) alloy clusters have been studied using density functional theory.The substitutional doping is favourable for small clusters with up to six atoms at low Ga concentration and substitutional Ga atoms in 13-atom clusters prefer surface sites.The Ga-doping generally could reduce the energetic stability but enhance the electronic stability of Fe clusters,along with a decrease of the local magnetic moments of Fe atoms around Ga dopants.These findings provide a microscopic insight into Fe-Ga alloys which are well-known magnetostriction materials. 相似文献

The structure and the magnetic moment of transition metal encapsulated in a Au 12 cage cluster have been studied by using the density functional theory.The results show that all of the transition metal atoms(TMA) can embed into the Au 12 cage and increase the stability of the clusters except Mn.Half of them have the I h or O h symmetry.The curves of binding energy have oscillation characteristics when the extra-nuclear electrons increase;the reason for this may be the interaction between parity changes of extra-nuclear electrons and Au atoms.The curves of highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(HOMO-LUMO) gap also have oscillation characteristics when the extra-nuclear electrons increase.The binding energies of many M@Au 12 clusters are much larger than that of the pure Au 13 cluster,while the gaps of some of them are less than that of Au 13,so maybe Cr@Au 12,Nb@Au 12,and W@Au 12 clusters are most stable in fact.For magnetic calculations,some clusters are quenched totally,but the Au 13 cluster has the largest magnetic moment of 5 μ B.When the number of extra-nuclear electrons of the encapsulated TMA is even,the magnetic moment of relevant M@Au 12 cluster is even,and so are the odd ones. 相似文献

Systematic theoretical calculations are performed to investigate the dopant effect of Fe on stability, electronic and magnetic properties of the newly synthesized all-boron fullerene B40. The results reveal that as a typical ferromagnetic element, Fe atoms can either be chemically externally adsorbed on, or internally encapsulated in the cage of B40, with the binding energies ranging from 3.07 to 5.31 eV/atom. By introducing the dopant states from the doped Fe atom, the energy gaps of the Fe-doped B40-based metallofullerenes are decreased. Our spin-polarized calculations indicate that Fe-doped metallofullerenes have attractive magnetic properties: with alternative binary magnetic moments between 4.00μB and 2.00μB, depending on the resident sites of the doped Fe atom. The findings of the tunable electronic properties and binary magnetic moments of the Fe-doped B40-based metallofullerenes imply that this type of metallofullerene may be applied in single molecular devices. 相似文献

The configurations,stabilities,electronic,and magnetic properties of Fe_nAu(n = 1–12) clusters are investigated systematically by using the relativistic all-electron density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation.The substitutional effects of Au in Fe_(n+1)(n = 1,2,4,5,10–12) clusters are found in optimized structures which keep the similar frameworks with the most stable Fe_(n+1)clusters.And the growth way for Fe_nAu(n = 6–9) clusters is that the Au atom occupies a peripheral position of Fen cluster.The peaks appear respectively at n = 6 and 9 for Fen Au clusters and at n = 5 and 10 for Fe_(n+1)clusters based on the size dependence of second-order difference of energy,implying that these clusters possess relatively high stabilities.The analysis of atomic net charge Q indicates that the charge always transfers from Fe to Au atom which causes the Au atom to be nearly non-magnetic,and the doped Au atom has little effect on the average magnetic moment of Fe atoms in Fen Au cluster.Finally,the total magnetic moment is reduced by 3 μB for each of Fen Au clusters except n = 3,11,and 12 compared with for corresponding pure Fe_(n+1) clusters. 相似文献

The structural stability and magnetic properties of the icosahedral Ni13, Ni13^+1 and Ni13^-1 clusters have been obtained by utilizing all-electron density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximations for the exchange-correlation energy. The calculated results show that the ground states of neutral and charged clusters all favour a D3d structure, a distorted icosahedron, due to the Jahn-Teller effect. The radial distortions caused by doping one electron and by doping one hole are opposite to each other. Doping one electron will result in a 1/2 decrease and doping one hole will result in a 1/2 increase of the total spin. Both increasing interatomic spacing and decreasing coordination will lead to an enhancement of the spin magnetic moments for Nil3 clusters. 相似文献
