Temperature Dependence of Elastic Properties for Amorphous SiO2 by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Large-scale and long-time molecular-dynamics simulations are used to investigate the temperature dependences of elastic properties for amorphous SiO2. The elastic moduli increase in a temperature range up to 1600 K and decrease thereafter. The anomalous behaviour in elasticity is explained by analysing the changes of atomic-scale structure with respect to increment of temperature. The mechanism originates predominantly from distortion of the SiO4 tetrahedra network in low-temperature ranges. At an elevated temperature range, thermal-induced Si-O bond stretching dominates the process and leads to normal temperature dependence of elastic properties.     

量子分子动力学模拟液体钚的输运性质

采用第一原理分子动力学（QMD）方法模拟液体钚的输运性质.计算的粘性和扩散系数在较低温度时与文献有明显差异,在实验测量范围内,模拟结果与实验一致,温度升高时数值模拟结果趋于一致.利用QMD的模拟结果计算了应力自相关函数和速度自相关函数,结果表明：在温度较低时,液体钚呈现明显的强关联特性.对于具有强关联特性的液体,利用较短时间的QMD模拟结果,通过简单e指数拟合外推到t→∞得到的扩散系数和粘性具有较大偏差,这是造成本文模拟结果与文献结果出现差异的主要原因.通过增加QMD模拟时间步数,获得了更为准确的输运性质.

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Liquid Phosphorus at High Temperature and Pressure

By performing ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the microstructure, dynamical and electronic properties of liquid phosphorus （P） under high temperature and pressure. In our simulations, the calculated coordination number （CN） changes discontinuously with density, and seems to increase rapidly after liquid P is compressed to 2.5 g/cm3. Under compression, liquid P shows the first-order liquid-liquid phase transition from the molecular liquid composed of the tetrahedral P4 molecules to complex polymeric form with three-dimensional network structure, accompanied by the nonmetal to metal transition of the electronic structure. The order parameters Q6 and Q4 are sensitive to the microstructural change of liquid P. By calculating diffusion coefficients, we show the dynamical anomaly of liquid P by compression. At lower temperatures, a maximum exists at the diffusion coefficients as a function of density; at higher temperatures, the anomalous behavior is weakened. The excess entropy shows the same phenomena as the diffusion coefficients. By analysis of the angle distribution functions and angular limited triplet correlation functions, we can clearly find that the Peierls distortion in polymeric form of liquid P is reduced by further compression.     

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.     

An Ab Initio Study of the Structural and Electronic Properties of the Low-Defect TiC(110) Surface Simulating Oxygen Adsorption after Exposure to Laser Plasma

An ab initio simulation of the adsorption of atomic oxygen on the low-defect titanium carbide (110) surface reconstructed by laser radiation was performed. The relaxed atomic structures of the (110) surface of the O/Ti _x C _y system with Ti and C vacancies observed during the thermal treatment were studied in terms of the density functional theory. DFT calculations of their structural, thermodynamic, and electronic properties were performed. The bond lengths and adsorption energies were determined for various reconstructions of the atomic structure of the O/Ti _x C _y (110) surface. The effects of the oxygen adatom on the band and electronic spectra of the O/Ti _x C _y (110) surface were studied. The effective charges on the titanium and carbon atoms surrounding the oxygen atom in various reconstructions were determined. The charge transfer from titanium to oxygen and carbon atoms was found, which is determined by the reconstruction of the local atomic and electronic structures and correlates with chemisorption processes. The potential mechanisms of laser nanostructuring of the titanium carbide surface were suggested.

Understanding the Effects of Point Defects on the Electronic Properties of Titania Nanoparticles: An Ab Initio Study

First-principles calculations are used to study the electronic structure of the TiO₂(101) surface. The effect of oxygen vacancies and interstitial titanium ions on the electronic structure is investigated, and models for optical single-electron charge transfer transitions in the structure are proposed. We found that the addition of an uncharged oxygen vacancy leads to a shift of the total density of states toward lower energy, and the bandgap increases. Therefore, interstitial titanium ion incorporation induces donor states above the valence band and increases the bandgap. These results can be used to explain the observed blueshift in nanoscale TiO_2.
