MAl_(12)(M=Ni、Mn)及其阴离子团簇的几何结构和磁性的计算研究

采用密度泛函理论(density functional theory,DFT)中的广义梯度近似(generalized gradient approximation,GGA)分别对Al_(13)和MAl_(12)(M=Ni、Mn)四种初始结构的中性和一价阴离子团簇进行计算研究.发现中性和阴离子团簇的基态几何结构均保持I_h对称性,并且基态阴离子团簇还具有较高的运动学稳定性.电磁性质计算显示:基态的中性和阴离子NiAl_(12)团簇分别带有2_(μB)、3_(μB)的磁矩,Ni原子的磁性几乎完全淬灭;而MnAl_(12)团簇分别带有7_(μB)、6_(μB)的磁矩,Mn原子的磁矩主要由3d轨道提供.基态团簇的表面原子出现了自旋分裂,与中心原子呈现出铁磁性作用.对垂直电离能和垂直亲和能的分析表明:中心原子被替代之后,团簇的得电子能力和失电子能力都有所降低.

Raman scattering study of magnetic layered MPS_3 crystals(M = Mn,Fe, Ni)

We report a comprehensive Raman scattering study on layered MPS_3(M = Mn, Fe, Ni), a two-dimensional magnetic compound with weak van der Waals interlayer coupling. The observed Raman phonon modes have been well assigned by the combination of first-principles calculations and the polarization-resolved spectra. Careful symmetry analysis on the angle-dependent spectra demonstrates that the crystal symmetry is strictly described by C_(2h)but can be simplified to D_(3d) with good accuracy. Interestingly, the three compounds share exactly the same lattice structure but show distinct magnetic structures. This provides us with a unique opportunity to study the effect of different magnetic orders on lattice dynamics in MPS_3. Our results reveal that the in-plane Nel antiferromagnetic(AF) order in MnPS_3 favors a spin–phonon coupling compared to the in-plane zig-zag AF in NiPS_3 and FePS_3. We have discussed the mechanism in terms of the folding of magnetic Brillouin zones. Our results provide insights into the relation between lattice dynamics and magnetism in the layered MPX_3(M = transition metal, X = S, Se) family and shed light on the magnetism of monolayer MPX_3 materials.

Magnetic properties in transition-metal-doped gold clusters: M@Au6 (M = Ti, V, Cr)

The electronic structure and magnetic properties in a series of transition-metal-doped Au clusters, MAu6- (M = Ti, V, Cr), are investigated experimentally using photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and density functional calculations. PES features due to the impurity atoms and the host are clearly observed. It is found that all the MAu6- and MAu6 clusters possess a planar structure, in which the transition metal atom is located in the center of an Au6 ring and carries large magnetic moments (2, 3, and 4 muB for MAu6, M = Ti, V, and Cr, respectively).     

Structural and magnetic properties of Ti12M clusters (M=Sc to Zn)

The geometries, electronic, and magnetic properties of the 3d atom doped icosahedron (ICO) Ti₁₂M (M=Sc to Zn), where a dopant atom replaces either the centra l(Ti₁₂M^c) or surface (Ti₁₂M^s) Ti atom in ICO Ti₁₃ cluster, have been systematically investigated by using the density functional theory. The structures of all the optimized Ti₁₂M^c and Ti₁₂M^s clusters are distorted ICO. Sc, Ni, Cu, and Zn atoms prefer to displace surface Ti atom, V, Cr, Mn, and Fe atoms prefer to displace central Ti atom. The position of impurity atom depends on the strength of the interaction between the central atom and the surface atoms. As compared to the pure Ti₁₃ cluster, Ti₁₂M^c and Ti₁₂M^s (M=V, Fe, Co, and Ni) clusters are more stable, Ti₁₂M^c and Ti₁₂M^s (M=Sc, Cr, Mn, Cu, and Zn) are less stable. Both Ti₁₂Ni^s and Ti₁₂Ni^c are magic clusters, which originate from their electronic as well as geometric closed shells. Because the exchange interaction prevails over the crystal field in Ti₁₂M clusters, the valence electrons fill molecular orbitals in terms of Hund’s rule of maximum spin.     

Er3(Fe,Co,M)29化合物(M=Cr,V,Ti,Mn,Ga,Nb)的结构与磁性

合成了Er3Fe29-x-yCoxMy化合物(M=Cr,V,Ti,Mn,Ga,Nb)并用x射线衍射和磁测量等手段研究了它们的结构和磁性.发现Fe基Er3(Fe,M)29化合物结晶成哑铃对Fe-Fe无序替代的Th2Ni17型结构(P63/mmc空间群)而不能形成Nd3(Fe,Ti)29型结构,因此其化学式也可以用Er2-n(Fe,M)17+2n(n=0.2)表示.当Er3Fe29化合物中部分Fe原子被M原子所取代时,其居里温度均有一定程度的提高.所有Er3(Fe,M)29化合物在室温均为易面型各向异性.当Er3(Fe,M)29(M=Cr,V)中的部分Fe原子被Co原子取代且Co原子数与Fe原子数达到一定比值时,得到一个单斜结构的新相.磁测量表明Er3Fei95Co6V3.5在室温可能为单轴各向异性,在162K出现自旋重取向,其各向异性由易轴型变为易面型.在5K下于难磁化方向磁化时观察到一个一级磁化过程(FOMP).     

密度泛函理论研究混合团簇Al12X(X=Sc、Ti、V、Gr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn)的结构和磁性

以四种13原子高对称性(Ih、Oh、D5h、D3h)密堆积结构为初始构型,通过不等价位原子替换,利用密度泛函理论系统研究了Al12 X(X=Sc、Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni、Cu、Zn)掺杂团簇的结构及磁性.结果表明:除Al12 Cr和Al12Fe以外,其它Al12X团簇的基态结构均以Ih替换结构为主,其中前3d元素(X=Sc、Ti、V、Mn)倾向于表面位置替换,而后3d元素(X=Co、Ni、Cu、Zn)则倾向于中心位置替换;Al12 Cr和Al12Fe团簇以Oh结构的表面替换为基态结构;对多数3d元素(X=Ti、V、Cr、Fe、Co、Zn)其掺杂团簇均出现明显的近能同分异构现象;相较纯Al13团簇掺杂团簇普遍体现出磁性增强效应.     

CCSD(T) study on the structures and chemical bonds of AnO molecules (An = Bk–Lr)

The molecular geometries and dissociation energies of AnO (An = Bk–Lr) molecules were first obtained at thecoupled-cluster single-, double-, and perturbative triple-excitations [CCSD(T)] level of theory. Four hybrid functionals,B3LYP, M06-2X, TPSSh, and PBE0, were also employed in the calculations for the sake of comparison. In comparison ofthe CCSD(T) results, B3LYP, TPSSh, and PBE0 functionals can obtain more appropriate results than M06-2X and MP2.The analyses on molecular orbitals show that the 7s, 6d, and 5f atomic orbitals of actinide (An) atoms participate in thebonding of An–O bonds. The partial covalent nature between An and O atoms is revealed by QTAIM analyses.     

Enhancements of hydrogen adsorption energy in M-MOF-525 (M= Ti,V, Zr and Hf): A DFT study

Electric dipole moment and hydrogen adsorption properties of four different Metal–Organic Framework-525, namely M-MOF-525 (M= Ti, V, Zr and Hf) were computed via the first-principles technique. Our calculation results revealed that the bond length between M–O (M= Ti, V, Zr and Hf) of the metal-oxide cluster is proportional to the atomic radius of M in metal-oxide cluster. The increasing of the M–O distance results in enhancement of electric dipole moment of the M-MOF-525. Moreover, it was found that the averaged M-O distances are 2.10, 2.05, 2.24 and 2.25 Å for Ti-, V-, Zr- and Hf-MOF-525, respectively. To investigate the hydrogen adsorption property, all possible hydrogen adsorption sites in the M-MOF-525 must be firstly searched. According to our calculation results, five stable hydrogen adsorption sites were found. For each adsorption site, two orientations of the HH bonding, namely parallel and perpendicular directions, were considered. Based on our calculation results, it was found that the Ti- and V-MOF-525 are unable to bind a hydrogen molecule on their surfaces, whereas a hydrogen molecule can trap on the surface of the Zr- and Hf-MOF-525. This is owing to stronger electric dipole moments of Zr- and Hf-MOF-525 in comparison to Ti- and V-MOF-525. For the Zr-MOF-525, the hydrogen molecule can trap on this structure with hydrogen adsorption energy ranging from 0.04–0.15 eV/H₂. Additionally, the hydrogen binding energies of the Hf-MOF-525 range from 0.06 to 0.16 eV/H₂. According to our computational results, it was obviously seen that hydrogen adsorption energy of the site near metal oxide cluster is always larger than that of the TpCPP linker. Lastly, we also found that the interaction between the hydrogen molecule and the M-MOF-525 host is mainly governed by a weak dispersive interaction.     

Fe、Co、Ni混合团簇磁性的密度泛函研究

基于13原子二十面体结构,采用密度泛函方法系统计算研究了Fe、Co及Ni单质及二元混合团簇的磁性.发现有限温度下团簇磁性随结构畸变的敏感性随Fe、Co、Ni顺序逐渐减弱,同时发现二十面体结构Fe_(13)及Co_(13)均具有不同磁矩的近简并低能态.对FeNi及CoNi混合团簇、其磁矩随组分的变化不存在反常现象,但对于FeCo混合团簇、其磁矩随组分的演化行为存在个别反常现象.我们认为:这种反常现象能够对FeCo非晶合金中的实验观测结果提供一种可能的理论解释.

Spin wave relaxation and magnetic properties in [M/Cu] super-lattices; M=Fe, Co and Ni

In this work, we study the elementary excitations and magnetic properties of the [M/Cu] super-lattices with: M=Fe, Co and Ni, represented by a Heisenberg ferromagnetic system with N atomic planes. The nearest neighbour (NN), next nearest neighbour (NNN) exchange, dipolar interactions and surface anisotropy effects are taken into account and the Hamiltonian is studied in the framework of the linear spin wave theory. In the presence of the exchange alone, the excitation spectrum E(k) and the magnetization 〈S^z〉/S analytical expressions are obtained using the Green's function formalism. The obtained relaxation time of the magnon populations is nearly the same in the Fe and Co-based super-lattices, while these magnetic excitations would last much longer in the Ni-based super lattice. A numerical study of the surface anisotropy and long-ranged dipolar interaction combined effects are also reported. The exchange integral values deduced from a comparison with experience for the three super-lattices are coherent.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and magnetic studies of transition metal nocerites M3(BO3)F3 (M=Fe,Co, Ni)

Polycrystalline samples of M₃(BO₃)F₃ (M=Fe, Co, Ni), isostructural with nocerite Mg₃(BO₃)(OH,F)₃, have been prepared in supercritical hydrothermal conditions. These compounds represent with boracites, M₃B₇O₁₃F (M=Mg, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn), the only transition metal fluoride borates known to date. Co₃(BO₃)F₃ and Ni₃(BO₃)F₃ are antiferromagnetic with T_N=17(2) and 40(2) K, respectively. Spin-flop transitions at B_C1=4.0 T and B_C2=7.5 T occur at 1.6 K in Co₃(BO₃)F₃, while a parasitic ferromagnetism (0.02 μ_B/Ni²⁺ at 1.6 K) appears below T_N in Ni₃(BO₃)F₃. The magnetic structures consist of three spin sub-lattices of double rutile-type ferromagnetic chains.

Thermostability and magnetic properties of Sm2(Fe,M)17(C,N)y (M=Ga,Al and Si)

The effect of heat treatments on the interstitial nitrides and carbides prepared from Sm₂(Fe,M)₁₇ and Sm₂Fe₁₅Ga₂C₂ by gas–solid reaction (GSR) was investigated in order to understand more about the influence of the substitutions M=Ga, Al and Si on the thermostability of these compounds. X-ray diffraction measurements of the heat-treated samples have shown that all of these substitutions improve the thermostability of the Th₂Zn₁₇-type interstitial structure, with Al having the smallest influence and Si and Ga having a stronger influence on the thermostability. Contrary to the nitrides, the carbides prepared by GSR can be significantly stabilized with an increasing amount of the stabilizing elements. Already for a small amount of the substitution element, e.g. Sm₂Fe_16.5Ga_0.5, the 2 : 17-type interstitial phase was stabilized up to 750°C. Carburization at temperatures above 500°C was possible for the stabilized 2 : 17 compounds making possible much shorter carburization times for high C contents. Investigations on Sm₂Fe₁₅Ga₂C_y have revealed a dependence of the thermostability on the amount of absorbed C and on the processing route for the interstitial modification by GSR. A coercivity μ_0JH_c up to about 2.8 T was obtained for Sm₂Fe₁₅Ga₂C₂N showing the magnetic potential of these modified compounds.     

Co和稳定元素对Nd3(Fe,Co,M)29 (M=Ti,V,Cr) 化合物结构和磁性的影响

利用x射线衍射和磁测量研究了不同稳定元素Co以及Ti,V和Cr替代对Nd3Fe29-x-yCoxMy(M=Ti,V,Cr)化合物结构和磁性的影响.研究发现:每一个稳定元素都有一替代量极限,在此极限以内所有化合物均为Nd3(Fe,Ti)29型结构,A2/m空间群.不同稳定元素的溶解极限不同.Co的替代量与稳定元素有关,当以Cr作为稳定元素时,Cr的替代量随着Co含量的提高而提高,直到得到纯Co基3:29相化合物.Ti和V作为稳定元素时,Co原子的最大替代量分别为6.63和12.所有Nd3(Fe,Co,M)29(M=Ti,V,Cr)化合物在室温下均表现为平面各向异性.Nd3Fe26.8-xCoxV2.2的居里温度TC和饱和磁化强度Ms随着Co含量的增加而单调增加,自旋重取温度随Co含量增加而呈上升趋势,但在x=6处有一最小值,这可能与Co的择优占位有关;而Nd3Fe29-x-yCoxCry的居里温度和饱和磁化强度随着Co含量的增加先增加后降低,只在x=0和x=6处观察到自旋重取向现象.
