Interaction between fullerene-wheeled nanocar and gold substrate: A DFT study

Since the successful synthesis of nanocar and its surprising movement on the gold surface, several theoretical investigations have been devoted to explain the interaction properties as well as its movement mechanism on the substrate. All of them failed, however, to gain a clear theoretical insight into the respected challenges because of the weak computational methods implemented for this complex system including heavy metal atoms and giant size of the whole system. In this work, we have investigated the adsorption of fullerene-wheeled nanocar onto a Au (1 1 1) substrate using the comprehensive first-principles density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The binding energy between the nanocar and Au (1 1 1) surface was determined to be −9.43 eV (−217.45 kcal/mol). The net charge transfer from the nanocar to the gold substrate was calculated to be about 9.56 electrons. Furthermore, the equilibrium distances between the Au surface and the C₆₀ molecule and nanocar chassis were estimated to be 2.20 Å and 2.30 Å, respectively. The BSSE correction was also considered in the binding energy estimation and the result show that the BSSE correction significantly affects the calculated binding energy for such systems.Finally, we have performed ab initio molecular dynamics simulation for a single C₆₀ fullerene on the gold surface at room temperature. Our first-principles result shows that ambient condition affect remarkably on the adsorption property of fullerene on the gold surface. We also observed that the C₆₀ fullerene wheel slips by approximately 3.90 Å within 5 ps of simulation time at 300 K.     

C60、C240、C60@C240富勒烯分子压缩特性的分子动力学研究

采用Tersoff-Brenner势的分子动力学方法,研究了双石墨层作用下C60、C240及C60@C240富勒烯分子的压缩力学特性.根据计算结果,讨论了三种分子压缩过程中几何构形、能量、压缩载荷等的变化及其差异.研究表明,压缩过程中,仅C240分子出现了“塌陷“现象,塌陷时,该分子的能量及外载一度下降;相同压缩应变下,C240的体积压缩率以及C60@C240的能量吸收率最大,而C60的体积压缩率及能量吸收率均最小; C60@C240分子的最大承载能力及C240的最大承受变形能力最大,而C60分子的最大承载和最大承受变形能力均最小;在C60@C240分子的压缩中,当应变小于20%时,内笼C60的体积及其能量变化很小;C60与C240之间的范德华尔能在整个压缩C60@C240分子的能量变化中仅仅占有非常小的份额.     

Si材料中60°位错的分子动力学研究

本文使用Stillinger-Weber势函数和周期性边界条件,通过在原子尺度上的分子动力学计算研究了60°位错的位错心能量和运动情况.首先提出了相对简单的建立位错偶极子的新方法.在此基础上,借助于最近得到的对周期性映像作用的评估理论,由不同大小的3维计算模型得到的位错心能量的平均值为0.43 eV,这一结果不同于先前文献中的报导.另一方面,为研究位错运动在较大温度和压力范围下的表现,提出了相应解决方法来避免位错心在高温模拟环境时测量的不精确性.模拟结果显示位错速度相对于温度的变化曲线表现为波动形式.而且,位错的速度随模拟温度的升高而降低,这一结果与声子拖拽模型相吻合.

Influence of packing on the vibrations of homogeneous bundles of C60 peapods

The non-resonant Raman spectra of homogeneous bundles of C₆₀ peapods (C₆₀ inserted in single-walled carbon nanotubes) are calculated in the framework of spectral moment method, together with a bond-polarizability model. The evolutions of the low wavenumber range of the Raman spectrum of homogeneous bundles of C₆₀ peapods as a function of the nanotube diameter and the size of bundles are discussed. The effect of the C₆₀ filling factor is investigated in detail. The results are compared to experimental Raman data measured on various samples of C₆₀ peapods.     

HOBr/DOBr态到态光解动力学的量子波包研究

本文基于高水平的多参考组态相互作用计算,报导了HOBr的最低三个单重态的三维势能面. 并且对该分子的光解离过程用实波包传播的方法进行了量子动力学研究,不仅计算结果得到了吸收光谱,而且还产生了光解产物的内态和角度分布. 结果与在紫外区域测得的HOBr的总吸收截面定量吻合,并很好的重现了实验上在266 nm处观察到的振动冷和转动热的光解OH/OD产物. 此外,预测了OH/OD的反冲各向异性参数接近平行跃迁的极限值,表明在266 nm处从基态(1¹A'')到2¹A''态的面内跃迁是一个快速的解离过程. 这与实验上从测量转动取向得出的结论一致. 然而,想要实现与实验上的定量一致,还需要考虑自旋和电子角动量的影响.     

加速神经网络势能面的构建:一种杂化的训练算法

Machine learning approaches have been promising in constructing high-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) for molecules and materials. Neural networks (NNs) are one of the most popular such tools because of its simplicity and efficiency. The training algorithm for NNs becomes essential to achieve a fast and accurate fit with numerous data. The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm has been recognized as one of the fastest and robust algorithms to train medium sized NNs and widely applied in recent NN based high quality PESs. However, when the number of ab initio data becomes large, the efficiency of LM is limited, making the training time consuming. Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a recently proposed algorithm which determines the weights and biases of a single hidden layer NN by a linear solution and is thus extremely fast. It, however, does not produce sufficiently small fitting error because of its random nature. Taking advantages of both algorithms, we report a generalized hybrid algorithm in training multilayer NNs. Tests on H+H₂ and CH₄+Ni(111) systems demonstrate the much higher efficiency of this hybrid algorithm (ELM-LM) over the original LM. We expect that ELM-LM will find its widespread applications in building up high-dimensional NN based PESs.

Computation of some thermodynamics, transport, structural properties, and new equation of state for fluid methane using two-body and three-body intermolecular potentials from molecular dynamics simulation

Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to obtain pressure, radial distribution function, and self-diffusion coefficient of fluid methane using one site OPLS (optimized potentials for liquid simulations), five sites OPLS-SITE, and two-body HFD (Hartree-Fock dispersion)-like potentials. To take higher-body forces into account, three-body potential of Hauschild and Prausnitz (1993) has been used with the two-body HFD-like potential. The significance of this work is that the three-body potential of Hauschild and Prausnitz extended as a function of density and temperature and used with the HFD-like potential to improve the prediction of the results of pressure of fluid methane without requiring an expensive three-body calculation. The molecular dynamics simulation of methane has been also used to determine a new equation of state. The results are in a good agreement with experimental and theoretical values.

超分子屏蔽效应对富勒烯自由基C59N·稳定性的影响及其诱导的(C59N)2中键接碳笼C-C键的转移重构

富勒烯自由基通常是在空气中短暂存在或不稳定的短寿命物种,超分子屏蔽是近年来被发展用于稳定富勒烯自由基稳定的一种有效策略.本文将共价桥联碳质π电子共轭双嵌N分子碗作为客体C₅₉N·富勒烯自由基的理想宿主体,通过密度泛函理论计算研究了二者之间的主客体相互作用、热力学、自旋电子密度等性质.结果发现C₅₉N·富勒烯自由基嵌螯在该钳形双分子碗的凹穴内而被屏蔽,从而有效避免单电子结构的暴露和C₅₉N·自由基之间的化学二聚,即显著增强其动力学稳定性和寿命,这种策略对富勒烯自由基在自旋电子学、超分子电子器件或光电转换器件等领域的应用具有潜在指导价值.此外,本研究还发现通过超分子屏蔽策略,理论上可以实现对(C₅₉N)₂二聚体分子中键连两个碳笼的C-C进行重构,这也为富勒烯相关体系中C-C键构建的提供了一种新的思路与途径.     

Study of translational,librational and intra-molecular motion of adsorbed liquid water monolayers at various TiO2 interfaces

Equilibrium classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate the vibrational motion of water in contact with rutile-(110), rutile-(100), rutile-(001), anatase-(101) and anatase-(001) surfaces at room temperature (300?K). The vibrational density of states (VDOS) of the first adsorbed monolayer of liquid water has been analysed for each surface. These have been compared with reported experimental INS values involving rutile and anatase polymorph surfaces, along with ab initio MD results. It is observed that good qualitative agreement is obtained for the rutile-(110) and the anatase-(101) surfaces with the corresponding experimental VDOS. A significant contribution from librational dynamics is found for planar rutile surfaces, but no such demarcation is seen in the experimental VDOS.     

Energetic and structural evolution of gold nanowire under heating process: A molecular dynamics study

The energetic and structural evolution of a squared gold nanowire under heating process is investigated via molecular dynamics with many-body potential. The simulations reveal that the nanowire undergoes distinct energetic and structural developments during the following four heating processes: low temperature, melting, breaking and high temperature. The cross-section of nanowire is found to change from a square to a circle shape with rising temperature at first. A neck is then found to be initiated above the overall melting point, followed by the formation of a two- to five-atom-thick chain structure before the breaking of neck. The nanowire transforms to a spherical cluster after the final breaking.

MRCI study on spectroscopic and molecular properties of four low-lying electronic states of the BO radical

The potential energy curves (PECs) of four low-lying electronic states of the BO radical, including two ²Σ⁺ and two ²Π states, have been studied using the full valence complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method followed by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) approach in combination with the cc-pV5Z basis set for internuclear separations from 0.05 to 2.0 nm. The effect on the PECs by the relativistic correction has been taken into account. With these PECs, the spectroscopic parameters (T_e, D₀, D_e, R_e, ω_e, ω_ex_e, α_e and B_e) of two main isotopologues (¹¹B¹⁶O and ¹⁰B¹⁶O) have been determined. These parameters have been compared in detail with those of previous investigations reported in the literature, and excellent agreement has been found between the available data and the present results. By solving the radial Schrödinger equation of nuclear motion, 60 vibrational states for the ¹¹B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), 60 for the ¹⁰B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), 66 for the ¹¹B¹⁶O(A²Π) and 64 for the ¹⁰B¹⁶O(A²Π) are predicted for the non-rotating molecule. For each vibrational state of the ¹¹B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), ¹⁰B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), ¹¹B¹⁶O(A²Π) and ¹⁰B¹⁶O(A²Π), the vibrational level G(υ), inertial rotation constant B_υ and centrifugal distortion constant D_υ have been determined. Comparison with the available data shows that the present molecular constants are reliable and accurate. The ro-vibrational levels have been calculated for the X²Σ⁺ and A²Π states of two main species for future laboratory research.
