Electronic structures and magnetic properties of rare-earth-atom-doped BNNTs

Stable geometries, electronic structures, and magnetic properties of (8,0) and (4,4) single-walled BN nanotubes (BNNTs) doped with rare-earth (RE) atoms are investigated using the first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method with density functional theory (DFT). The results show that these RE atoms can be effectively doped in BNNTs with favorable energies. Because of the curvature effect, the values of binding energy for RE-atom–doped (4,4) BNNTs are larger than those of the same atoms on (8,0) BNNTs. Electron transfer between RE-5d, 6s, and B-2p, N-2p orbitals was also observed. Furthermore, electronic structures and magnetic properties of BNNTs can be modified by such doping. The results show that the adsorption of Ce, Pm, Sm, and Eu atoms can induce magnetization, while no magnetism is observed when BNNTs are doped with La. These results are useful for spintronics applications and for developing magnetic nanostructures.     

Spectra and dissociation properties of Freon 31 under electric field

Freon 31 is a carcinogenic substance. It is of great significance for studying its degradation under external electric field. The bond length, energy, dipole moment, orbital energy lever distribution, infrared spectra, and dissociation properties of Freon 31 molecule under the external field are investigated using the density functional theory on basis set level of B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p). In addition, the effects of electric field on ultraviolet–visible absorption spectra of the molecule are studied with CIS/6-311G++(d, p) method. The results indicate that spectra and dissociated properties under electric field have changed significantly. As the electric field (0–0.04 atomic units) along negative direction of y-axis increases, the bond length of carbon–chlorine bond gradually increases and tends to break; the bond length of carbon–fluorine bond gradually decreases. The energy gap first increases and then decreases changing with electric field. The infrared spectra and ultraviolet–visible absorption spectra exhibit blue shift or bathochromic shift under electric field. Moreover, the potential energy surface of Freon 31 about Carbon–Chlorine bond is scanned by the same basis set with configuration interaction - single excitation (CIS) method. The result shows the barrier of dissociation gradually decreases with the electric field. When the intensity of electric field is equal to 0.04 atomic units, the barrier has disappeared. In addition, the molecule is induced to fragmentation due to carbon–chlorine bond breaking. The results offer important reference to the degradation of contaminants.

A comparative investigation of an AB- and AA-stacked bilayer graphene sheet under an applied electric field: A density functional theory study

An AB- and AA-stacked bilayer graphene sheet(BLG) under an electric field is investigated by ab initio calculation.The interlayer distance between the two layers,band structures,and atomic charges of the system are investigated in the presence of different electric fields normal to the BLG.The AB- stacked BLG is able to tune the bandgap into 0.234 eV with the increase of the external electronic field to 1 V/nm,however,the AA-stacked BLG is not sensitive to the external electric field.In both the cases,the spacing between the BLG slightly change in terms of the electric field.The charges in the AB- stacked BLG are increased with the increase of the electric field,which is considered to be the reason that causes the bandgap opening in the AB- stacked BLG.

Tuning the electronic properties of single-walled SiC nanotubes by external electric field

The electronic properties of SiC nanotubes (SiCNTs) under external transverse electric field were investigated using density functional theory. The pristine SiCNTs were semiconductors with band-gaps of 2.03, 2.17 and 2.25 eV for (6,6), (8,8) and (10,10) SiCNTs, respectively.

The (8,8) and (10,10) SiCNTs changed from semiconductor to metals as the intensity of electric field reached 0.7 and 0.5 V/Å. The results indicate that the electronic properties of SiCNTs can be tuned by the transvers electric field with integrality of the nanotubes.

Localization of π‐electron density in twisted bilayer graphene

In bilayer graphene, mutual rotation of layers has strong effect on the electronic structure. We theoretically study the distribution of electron density in twisted bilayer graphene with the rotation angle of 21.8° and find that regions with AA‐like and AB‐like stacking patterns separately contribute to the interlayer low‐energy van Hove singularities. In order to investigate the peculiarities of interlayer coupling, the charge density map between the layers is examined. The presented results reveal localization of π‐electrons between carbon atoms belonging to different graphene layers when they have AA‐like stacking environment, while the interlayer coupling is stronger within AB‐stacked regions.

Theoretical investigation of structural and optical properties of semi-fluorinated bilayer graphene

We have studied the structural and optical properties of semi-fluorinated bilayer graphene using density functional theory. When the interlayer distance is 1.62 , the two graphene layers in AA stacking can form strong chemical bonds.Under an in-plane stress of 6.8 GPa, this semi-fluorinated bilayer graphene becomes the energy minimum. Our calculations indicate that the semi-fluorinated bilayer graphene with the AA stacking sequence and rectangular fluorinated configuration is a nonmagnetic semiconductor(direct gap of 3.46 e V). The electronic behavior at the vicinity of the Fermi level is mainly contributed by the p electrons of carbon atoms forming C=C double bonds. We compare the optical properties of the semifluorinated bilayer graphene with those of bilayer graphene stacked in the AA sequence and find that the semi-fluorinated bilayer graphene is anisotropic for the polarization vector on the basal plane of graphene and a red shift occurs in the [010]polarization, which makes the peak at the low-frequency region located within visible light. This investigation is useful to design polarization-dependence optoelectronic devices.
