Electronic and Magnetic Properties of the p-NPNN

In this paper, we study the electronic band structure and the ferromagnetic properties of the organic radicalp-NPNN by employing density-functional theory with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local-spin densityapproximation (LSDA). The density of states, the total energy, and the spin magnetic moment are calculated. Thecalculations reveal that the δ-phase of p-NPNN has a stable ferromagnetic ground state. It is found that an unpairedelectron in this compound is localized in a single occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) constituted primarily of π* (NO)orbitals, and the main contribution of the spin magnetic moment comes from the π* (NO) orbitals. By comparison, wefind that the GGA is more suitable to describe free radical systems than LSDA.

Anomalous Optical and Electronic Properties of CaTiO3 Perovskites

With the help of the first-prlnciples full potential linearized augmented plane wave method, absorption coefficients, reflect/vity, dielectric behavior and electronic properties, including electronic energy bands, density of states and charge density distributions, are studied for the tetragonal and cubic CaTiO3. By considering the thermal expansion effects, an approximate method is proposed for the study of the stability of ground state and a tendency of phase transition, based on the minimum free energy principle. Subsequently, numerical calculations are carried out by using the first-principles perturbation method. We demonstrate that the high-temperature phase is cubic. It is shown that optical spectra in tetragonal phase exhibit single-peak feature and differ from multi-peak character in cubic. We find that strong orbital hybridization results in the co-valent bonds between Ti 3d and O 2p electrons and forms two-type dipoles （Ti-Ol and Ti-02） in tetragonal, while the Ti-O dipoles are identical in cubic. It is argued that crystal structure determines the dipole distributions and leads to some electron states among which the dipole-dipole transit/on forbidden is a key, causing such anomalous optical phenomena with the insulator characteristics. The predicted charge density distribution and the tendency of phase transition from tetragonal to cubic are in good agreement with experimental observations.     

Studies on Electronic Structure and Magnetic Properties of an Organic Magnet with Metallic Mn2+ and Cu2+ Ions

The electronic structure and the magnetic properties of the non-pure organic ferromagnetic compound MnCu(pbaOH)(H2O)3 with pbaOH = 2-hydroxy-1, 3-propylenebis (oxamato) are studied by using the density-functional theory with local-spin-density approximation. The density of states, total energy, and the spin magnetic moment are calculated. The calculations reveal that the compound MnCu(pbaOH)(H20)3 has a stable metal-ferromagnetic ground state, and the spin magnetic moment per molecule is 2.208 μB, and the spin magnetic moment is mainly from Mn ion and Cu ion. An antiferromagnetic order is expected and the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction of d-electrons of Cu and Mn passes through the antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent C, O, and N atoms along the path linking the atoms Cu and Mn.

Structural,electronic, optical and elastic properties of the complex K2PtCl6-structure hydrides ARuH6 (A = Mg,Ca, Sr and Ba): first-principles study

We report a systematic study of the structural, electronic, optical and elastic properties of the ternary ruthenium-based hydrides A₂RuH₆ (A = Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) within two complementary first-principles approaches. We describe the properties of the A₂RuH₆ systems looking for trends on different properties as a function of the A sublattice. Our results are in agreement with experimental ones when the latter are available. In particular, our theoretical lattice parameters obtained using the GGA-PBEsol to include the exchange-correlation functional are in good agreement with experiment. Analysis of the calculated electronic band structure diagrams suggests that these hydrides are wide nearly direct band semiconductors, with a very slight deviation from the ideal direct-band gap behaviour and they are expected to have a poor hole-type electrical conductivity. The TB-mBJ potential has been used to correct the deficiency of the standard GGA for predicting the optoelectronic properties. The calculated TB-mBJ fundamental band gaps are about 3.53, 3.11, 2.99 and 2.68 eV for Mg₂RuH₆, Ca₂RuH₆, Sr₂RuH₆ and Ba₂RuH₆, respectively. Calculated density of states spectra demonstrates that the topmost valence bands consist of d orbitals of the Ru atoms, classifying these materials as d-type hydrides. Analysis of charge density maps tells that these systems can be classified as mixed ionic-covalent bonding materials. Optical spectra in a wide energy range from 0 to 30 eV have been provided and the origin of the observed peaks and structures has been assigned. Optical spectra in the visible range of solar spectrum suggest these hydrides for use as antireflection coatings. The single-crystal and polycrystalline elastic moduli and their related properties have been numerically estimated and analysed for the first time.

Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Zinc-Blende InxGa1-xNyAs1-y by a First-Principles Study

Electronic structure and optical properties of the zinc-blende In_xGa_{1 - x}N_yAs_1-y system are calculated from the first-principles. Some relative simulations are performed using CA-PZ form of local density approximation in the framework of density functional theory. The supercell of intrinsic GaAs is calculated and optimized by using different methods, and the LDA-CA-PZ gives the most stable structure. The band gap of In_xGa_{1 - x}As tends to decrease with the increasing In concentration. For the case of In_0.0625Ga_0.9375N_yAs_{1 -y}, the band gap will show slight difference when N concentration is larger than 18.75%. The optical transition of In dopant in GaAs exhibits a red shift, while it is a blue shift for the N dopant in InGaAs. Besides, dielectric function, reflectivity, refractive index and loss function in different doping model of In_xGa_{1 - x}N_yAs_{1 - y} are also discussed.
