拓扑石墨烯电极分子器件输运特性

利用密度泛函理论结合非平衡格林函数方法,研究了不同拓扑能带结构的石墨烯电极分子器件输运特性.结果表明器件导通电压与电极禁带宽度正相关,同时器件在输运过程中表现出负微分电阻特性,峰谷电流比可达2697.分析认为器件导通源自于偏压升高过程中两电极能带匹配.器件负微分电阻特性源自于偏压升高过程中两电极能带交错.散射态分析表明,能带匹配后散射态分布较为离域,有利于电子通过器件.能带交错后散射态局域于电极处,表明电子输运受到抑制.

硼氮原子取代掺杂对分子器件负微分电阻效应的影响

利用基于非平衡格林函数和密度泛函理论相结合的第一性原理计算方法,研究了硼氮原子取代掺杂对三并苯分子电子输运性质的影响.计算结果表明,三并苯分子器件的电流在特定偏压区间内随电压的增加而减小呈现出负微分电阻效应,电流的峰谷之比高达5.12.用硼原子或者氮原子取代分子的中心原子后,器件0.8V以内的电流明显增加,但是负微分电阻效应减弱,相应的电流峰谷比分别降至3.83和3.61.分析认为,输运系数在特定偏压下的移动是器件负微分电阻效应的主要成因.核外电子数的差异导致硼氮原子掺杂取代可以使器件轨道及其透射峰分别向高能方向或者低能方向移动从而有效地调控了器件的低偏压下的电子传输能力和负微分电阻效应.     

硼或氮掺杂的锯齿型石墨烯纳米带的非共线磁序与电子输运性质

基于非共线磁序密度泛函/非平衡格林函数方法,研究了硼或氮掺杂的锯齿型石墨烯纳米带的非共线磁序与电子透射系数.未掺杂的石墨烯纳米带的计算结果表明磁化分布主要遵循类似于Neel磁畴壁的螺旋式磁化分布.相比于未掺杂的情况,硼/氮掺杂的石墨烯纳米带的磁化分布出现了双区域的特征,即杂质原子附近的磁化较小,杂质原子左(右)侧区域的磁化分布更接近于左(右)电极的磁化方向,这为通过掺杂手段在石墨烯纳米带边缘上构建不同磁畴壁提供了可能性.与未掺杂的透射系数不同的是,硼/氮掺杂的石墨烯纳米带的透射系数在费米面附近随着磁化偏转角增大而减小,表明非共线磁序引起的自旋翻转散射占据主导地位.而在E=±0.65 eV处,出现了一个较宽的dip结构,投影电子态密度的分析表明其来源于杂质原子形成的束缚态所引起的背散射.我们的研究结果对于理解石墨烯纳米带中的非共线磁序与杂质散射以及器件设计具有一定的意义.     

石墨烯电极弯折对2-苯基吡啶分子器件负微分电阻特性的调控和机理

采用非平衡格林函数结合密度泛函理论探讨了以锯齿型石墨烯纳米带为电极、2-苯基吡啶分子为中心区的分子器件电子输运性质.分析I-V特性及透射谱随偏压的变化表明,电极弯折能够调控器件负微分电阻特性,使器件峰值电压(V_p)减小、电流峰谷比(PVR)增大,当电极弯折角度为15°时,器件获得低峰值电压(0.1 V)、高电流峰谷比(12.84)的负阻特性.平衡态下器件的透射谱、态密度、散射态实空间分布图及投影态密度解释了器件负阻特性被调控源于电极弯折使器件中心分子与电极间的波函数交叠发生变化,导致两者间耦合减弱.弱耦合下外加偏压后,器件的透射系数因能级移动和偏压的变化而产生大幅波动,使器件在低偏置电压处即出现大的透射系数,产生峰值电流I_p,降低了器件的V_p,且增大了PVR值,其所获得的低V_p、高PVR的负阻特性在低功耗分子电子领域具有潜在的应用前景.

Ab Initio Calculations for the Polarizabilities of Small Sulfur Clusters

Polarizabilities of small Sn （n = 2-8） clusters are calculated by using the higher-order finite-difference pseudopotential density functional method in real space. We find that the polarizabilities of the clusters are considered to be higher than the value estimated from the “hard sphere” model using the bulk static dielectric constant. The computed polarizabilities per atom tend to decrease with the increasing cluster size. The polarizabilities are closely related to the HOMO-LUMO gaps and the geometrical configurations.     

Ab Initio Calculations and Raman and SERS Spectral Analyses of Amphetamine Species

Abstract

For the first time, the differences between the spectra of amphetamine and amphetamine-H⁺ and between different conformers are thoroughly studied by ab initio model calculations, and Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) spectra are measured for different species of amphetamine. The spectra of amphetamine and amphetamine-H⁺ samples were obtained and assigned according to a comparison of the experimental spectra and the ab initio MO calculations, performed using the Gaussian 03W program (Gaussian, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA). The analyses were based on complete geometry minimization of the conformational energy of the S-plus-amphetamine molecule and the S-plus-amphetamine-H⁺ ion. The harmonic frequency calculations provide information about the characteristic features of the Raman spectra and the nature of the bonding in the molecule. It is concluded that vibrational bands from salt anions with internal bonds (sulfates, hydrogen phosphates, etc.) need to be taken into account when employing these spectra for identification purposes. These results also show how Raman spectroscopy can assist the forensic community in drug profiling studies. Furthermore, because their spectra are different, discrimination between the free and protonated forms of amphetamine salts can be observed. Here, we provide evidence for this difference and show experimentally how it has been overseen.     

Ab Initio Calculations of Elastic Constants of Li2O under Pressure

We investigate the equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus, elastic constants and Debye temperature of Li2O under pressure by using ab initio unrestricted Hartree-Fock （HF） linear combination of atomic orbital （LCAO） periodic approach. The obtained results at zero pressure are well consistent with the available experimental data and other theoretical results, It is found that the elastic constants C11, C12 and C44 and bulk modulus B increase monotonously as pressure increases. Also, the anisotropy will weaken and the Debye temperature will rise with pressure increasing.     

Ab Initio Calculation of Dielectric Function in Wurtzite GaN Based on Walter's Model

The wavelength-dependent and frequency-dependent dielectric function of wurtzite-GaN is calculated totally from fundamental parameters such as the lattice constant using Walter's ab initio model.The errors occurring in the calculation are carefully reduced by linear interpolation of energy data.The Kramers-Kronig transform of the real part of greater range is obtained by extrapolation of the real part.The calculation is time-consuming but meaningful.The long-wave results are similar to the experimental data of the photon and are useful for related investigation of properties of wide-gap semiconductors such as electron scattering like the Auger recombination and impact ionization.

The structural and electronic properties of sodium bromide （NaBr） are investigated by the density functional theory （DFT） within the generalized gradient approximation （GGA） for the exchange and correlation energy. The equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative are obtained by fitting the calculated total energy to the third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The band structure along the higher symmetry axes in the Brillouin zone, the density of states （DOS） and the partial density of states （PDOS） are presented. The results have been discussed and compared with the available experimental and theoretical data.     

二元碱金属硅酸盐精细结构和拉曼光谱的从头计算研究

应用量子化学从头计算方法研究了二元碱金属硅酸盐的精细结构,对典型的系列二元碱金属硅酸盐离子簇模型采用6-31G(d)基组和闭壳层Hartree-Fock(RHF)方法优化构型,并计算了二元碱金属硅酸盐的拉曼光谱,采用硅氧四面体应力指数这一精细结构参数分析和讨论了计算得到的非桥氧高频区对称伸缩振动频率和其拉曼光学活性,以及不同阳离子对该拉曼光学活性的影响。研究表明,二元碱金属硅酸盐非桥氧高频区对称伸缩振动频率与其精细结构密切相关,而且与Q₃相连的Q₄会对该Q₃的拉曼光学活性表现出增强作用。这说明二元碱金属硅酸盐的拉曼散射等性质主要依赖于其精细结构而非其初级结构单元-硅氧四面体。研究还表明,半径较大的阳离子有利于增强离子簇的拉曼光学活性,但对于小的离子簇,过多的电荷迁移反而会起到抑制作用。
