Density functional theory study of neutral AlS_n(n=2-9) clusters

This paper investigates the geometrical structures and relative stabilities of neutral AlS n(n = 2-9) using the density functional theory.Structural optimisation and frequency analysis are performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level.The ground state structures of the AlS n show that the sulfur atoms prefer not only to evenly distribute on both sides of the aluminum atom but also to form stable structures in AlS n clusters.The structures of pure S n are fundamentally changed due to the doping of the Al atom.The fragmentation energies and the second-order energy differences are calculated and discussed.Among neutral AlS n(n = 2-9) clusters,AlS 4 and AlS 6 are the most stable.

A density functional theoretical investigation of RhSin（n = 1-6） clusters

This paper computationally investigates the RhSin （n = 1 6） clusters by using a density functional approach. Geometry optimizations of the RhSin （n = 1 6） clusters are carried out at the B3LYP level employing LanL2DZ basis sets. It presents and discusses the equilibrium geometries of the RhSin （n = 1-6） clusters as well as the corresponding averaged binding energies, fragmentation energies, natural populations, magnetic properties, and the energy gaps between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. Theoretical results show that the most stable RhSin（n = 1-6） isomers keep an analogous framework of the corresponding Sin＋1 clusters, the RhSi3 is the most stable cluster in RhSin （n = 1-6） isomers. Furthermore, the charges of the lowest-energy RhSin （n = 1-6） clusters transfer mainly from Si atom to Rh atom. Meanwhile, the magnetic moments of the RhSin（n = 1-6） arises from the 4d orbits of Rh atom. Finally, compared with the Sin＋1 cluster, the chemical stability RhSin clusters are universally improved.

Density functional theory study of MgnNi2 (n=1-6) clusters

The geometries of Mg_nNi₂ (n=1-6) clusters are studied by using the hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP) with LANL2DZ basis sets. For the ground-state structures of Mg_nNi₂ clusters, the stabilities and the electronic properties are investigated. The results show that the groundstate structures and symmetries of Mg clusters change greatly due to the Ni atoms. The average binding energies have a growing tendency while the energy gaps have a declining tendency. In addition, the ionization energies exhibit an odd-even oscillation feature. We also conclude that n=3, 5 are the magic numbers of the Mg_nNi₂ clusters. The Mg₃ Ni₂ and Mg₅Ni₂ clusters are more stable than neighbouring clusters, and the Mg₄Ni₂ cluster exhibits a higher chemical activity.

Density functional theory study of Mg_2Ni_n(n= 1–8) clusters

The density functional theory B3PW91 with LANL2DZ basis sets has been used to study the possible geometries of Mg2Nin(n = 1–8) clusters. For the lowest energy structures of the clusters, stabilities, electronic properties, and natural bond orbital(NBO) are calculated and discussed. The results show that the doped Mg atoms reduce the stabilities of pure Ni clusters. The Mg2Ni2, Mg2Ni4, and Mg2Ni6clusters are more stable than neighboring clusters. The system appears magic number characteristics. In addition, the hybridization phenomenon occurs, owing to the interaction of Mg and Ni. The result of charge transfer is that Ni atom is negative and the Mg atom is positive. We also conclude that the 3p and 4d orbitals of the Ni atom have an effect on the stabilities of the clusters.     

Density functional study of Agn-1Y (n=2-10) clusters

Employing the density functional theory, we investigate the lowest-energy geometric, the stable and the electronic properties of Ag_n-1Y (n=2-10) clusters in this paper. The structural optimization and the frequency analysis are performed at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level.

The results show that for the doping of the yttrium atoms, the structures and the average binding lengths of the Ag_n clusters are greatly changed. In addition, the thermodynamic stabilities of the Ag_n clusters are enhanced generally with the doping of the Y atoms. In addition, the chemical stabilities of the Ag_n-1Y clusters are still improved compared with that of the three-dimensional Ag_n clusters.

An ab initio study of niobium (n = 2--11) clusters: structure, stability and magnetism

The ground-state configurations of the Nbn (n = 2-11) clusters are studied through the first-principles calculations. It is found that niobium clusters (n = 2-11) tend to form compact structures with low symmetry. The clusters with 4, 8 and 10 atoms are found to be magic and have relatively large highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gaps. The Nbn clusters possess low magnetic moments, which exhibit an odd-even oscillational character. The analyses of calculated electronic density and population of the lowest-energy niobium clusters for n = 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 show that the total magnetic moments of Nbn originate mainly from a few Nb atoms with longer spacings between them in most cases, while they are located on two Nb atoms for n = 2, 3, 5. The total magnetic moments come mainly from the 4d local moments but with the exception of the Nb5 cluster.     

Hydrogen storage capabilities of the most stable isomers of NanBm (m+n=6) clusters

The most stable isomers of NanBm(m+n=6) clusters and their hydrogen storage properties are investigated by means of density functional theory with a 6-311+G(d) basis set. To study the hydrogen storage properties,all of the stable structures of Na n BmHx (m+n=6) clusters have been optimized. It shows that boron atoms of Na n B m are separated from the other boron atoms,and form satellite BHx (x=3,4) clusters around the centre,which attach to the system by a bridging bond of a hydrogen atom or an Na atom. Compared with the hydrogen storage capabilities,the Na3B3 has the highest hydrogen storage capacity among Na n B m clusters. The binding energies,interaction energies of hydrogen atom with Na n B m clusters and second difference in energy of Na3B3Hx clusters have been calculated. The results show that the stability of the Na n B m H x clusters present an odd-even oscillatory effect,as the number of H atoms increases.
