Study of (Al2O3)n(Ox) clusters with n = 16 and x = 0, 1, 2 from first principles calculations

The ionic and electronic structure of (Al₂O₃)_n(O_x) clusters with n 16 and x = 0, 1, 2 is studied by means of first principles density functional calculations, norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a numerical atomic basis set. The equilibrium geometries have been determined by total energy minimization, starting with several initial geometries for each cluster size. The trends obtained for the atomic arrangements (structural isomers, coordination numbers, disordered versus ordered structures, etc.) and the electronic properties (binding energies, Homo-Lumo gap and dipole moments) are discussed. For most of the oxidized clusters studied here we find that the Homo-Lumo gap and the magnitude of dipole moment of isomeric species can vary drastically.     

Raman scattering studies of (GaP)n/(InP)n (n = 1, 1.7, 2) short‐period superlattice structures

We report Raman scattering from (GaP)_n/(InP)_n (n = 1, 1.7, 2) short‐period superlattice (SPS) structures to study the effect of lateral composition modulation (LCM) on the behavior of optical phonons. Cross‐sectional transmission electron microscope images revealed that LCM was formed with complex pattern in the n = 1.7 and n = 2 samples grown at 490 °C. Interestingly, both the InP‐ and the GaP‐like longitudinal optical (LO) phonon energies increased systematically as the number of monolayers was increased from n = 1 to n = 2. A significant broadening of the phonon line shapes was also observed for the n = 1.7 and n = 2 samples. In contrast, for samples grown at 425 °C, both the increase of the LO phonon energies and the broadening of the phonon line shapes were observed only when n = 1.7. Our results demonstrate that the optical phonons in the (GaP)_n/(InP)_n SPS structures are significantly affected in the occurrence of LCM related to the growth temperature and the number of monolayers.Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Density-functional theory study of the geometries,stabilities, and electronic properties of Au n Rb (n = 1–10) clusters: comparison with pure gold clusters

The density functional method with the relativistic effective core potential has been employed to investigate systematically the geometric structures, relative stabilities, growth-pattern behavior, and electronic properties of small bimetallic Au _n Rb (n?=?1–10) and pure gold Au _n (n?≤?11) clusters. For the geometric structures of the Au _n Rb (n?=?1–10) clusters, the dominant growth pattern is for a Rb-substituted Au _{n +1} cluster or one Au atom capped on a Au _{n –1}Rb cluster, and the turnover point from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional structure occurs at n?=?4. Moreover, the stability of the ground-state structures of these clusters has been examined via an analysis of the average atomic binding energies, fragmentation energies, and the second-order difference of energies as a function of cluster size. The results exhibit a pronounced even–odd alternation phenomenon. The same pronounced even–odd alternations are found for the HOMO–LUMO gap, VIPs, VEAs, and the chemical hardness. In addition, about one electron charge transfers from the Au _n host to the Rb atom in each corresponding Au _n Rb cluster.     

Geometries, stabilities, and electronic properties of Be-doped gold clusters: a density functional theory study

We have systematically investigated the geometrical structures, relative stabilities and electronic properties of small bimetallic AunBe (n = 1, 2, . . . , 8) clusters using a density functional method at BP86 level. The optimized geometries reveal that the impurity beryllium atom dramatically affects the structures of the Aun clusters. The averaged binding energies, fragmentation energies, second-order difference of energies, the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps and chemical hardness are investigated. All of them exhibit a pronounced odd-even alternation, manifesting that the clusters with even number of gold atoms possess relatively higher stabilities. Especially, the linear Au2Be cluster is magic cluster with the most stable chemical stability. According to the natural population analysis, it is found that charge-transferring direction between Au atom and Be atom changes at the size of n = 4.     

Geometries,stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of small PdnIr (n = 1–8) clusters from first-principles calculations

The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of small Pd_nIr (n = 1–8) clusters have been systematically investigated using density functional theory at the B3PW91 level. The optimised geometries show that the lowest-energy structures of Pd_nIr clusters prefer a three-dimensional configuration. The relative stability of these clusters was examined by analysis of the binding energies per atom, fragmentation energies, the second-order difference of energies and the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps as a function of cluster size. The obtained results exhibit that the Pd₂Ir, Pd₃Ir and Pd₅Ir clusters are more stable than their neighbouring clusters. The energy gap of the Pd₂Ir cluster is the largest of all the clusters (2.258 eV). In addition, the charge transfers, vertical ionisation potentials, vertical electron affinities and chemical hardness were calculated and discussed. The magnetism calculations indicate that the total magnetic moment of Pd_nIr clusters is mainly localised on the iridium atom for Pd_1–6Ir clusters. Meanwhile, the 5d orbital plays the key role in the magnetic moment of the iridium atom.     

Structure and stability of small zinc oxide clusters

The structure and stability of small neutral and positively charged zinc oxide (ZnO) _n clusters (n = 2−9) have been studied within the density functional theory. For n ≤ 7, the most stable clusters are shown to be flat rings; for n = 8, 9, the clusters are mainly three-dimensional cage structures. The energies and main channels of fragmentation of the clusters have been determined. It has been found that the fragmentation of the charged clusters with n > 6 occurs predominantly with formation of a (ZnO)₄⁺ ion, which explains the available mass spectrometric data on ionization of the zinc oxide clusters by electron impact.     

第一性原理计算ZrnFe(n=2—13)团簇的基态结构及其磁性

从第一性原理出发，利用密度泛函理论中的广义梯度近似对Zr_nFe(n=2—13)团簇进行了结构优化、能量和频率计算.在充分考虑自旋多重度的前提下，对每一具体尺寸的团簇，得到了多个平衡构型，并根据能量高低确定了团簇的基态结构.综合团簇的结合能、二阶能量差分以及团簇的最高占据轨道和最低未占据轨道间的能隙可知Zr₅Fe，Zr₇Fe和Zr₁₂Fe团簇的稳定性相对较高，Zr₁₂Fe团簇的结构是具有I_h对称性的正二十面体，而且Zr₁₂Fe的稳定性在所有团簇中是最高的.另外，不仅Zr₅Fe，Zr₇Fe和Zr₁₂Fe团簇的稳定性相对较高，而且它们均为磁性团簇(而Zr_n团簇的磁矩在n≥5时已经发生了淬灭)，由此可知通过选择合适的掺杂元素可能得到高稳定的磁性团簇.从Mulliken布居分析结果可知，除了在Zr₁₂Fe团簇中Fe原子失去少量电荷外，其他团簇中Fe原子均从Zr原子那里得到了一定量电荷，即Fe原子在Zr_nFe(n=2—13，n≠12)团簇中是电子受体.

Ab initio calculation of the geometric,electronic and magnetic properties of neutral and anionic Au n Pd (n = 1–9) clusters

The ab initio method based on density functional theory at the B3PW91 level has been applied to study the geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of neutral and anionic Au _n Pd (n?=?1–9) clusters. The results show that the most stable geometric structures adopt a three-dimensional structure for neutral Au₇Pd and Au₈Pd clusters, but for anionic clusters, no three-dimensional lowest-energy structures were obtained. The relative stabilities of neutral and anionic Au _n Pd clusters were analysed by means of the dependent relationships between the binding energies per atom, the dissociation energies, the second-order difference of energies, the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps and the cluster size n, and a local odd–even alternation phenomenon was found. Natural population analysis indicates the sequential transfer from the Pd atom to the Au _n frame in Au_1,2,3,5Pd and Au_2,3Pd^? clusters, and from the Au _n frame to the Pd atom in other clusters. Much to our surprise, irrespective of whether it is the total magnetic moment or the local magnetic moment, the magnetic moment presents an odd–even alternation phenomenon as a function of the cluster size n. The magnetic effects are mainly localized on the various atoms (Au or Pd) for different cluster size n.

The possible stable geometrical configurations and the relative stabilities of the lowest-lying isomers of copper-doped gold clusters,Au n Cu (n=1-7),are investigated using the density functional theory.Several low-lying isomers are determined.The results indicate that the ground-state Au n Cu clusters have planar structures for n=1-7.The stability trend of the Au n Cu clusters (n=1-7),shows that odd-numbered Au n Cu clusters are more stable than the neighbouring even-numbered ones,thereby indicating the Au 5 Cu clusters are magic cluster with high chemical stability.
