First-principles study of electronic structure and magnetic properties of SrTi1−xMxO3 (M= Cr,Mn, Fe,Co, or Ni)

We used first-principles calculations to conduct a comparative study of the structure and the electronic and magnetic properties of SrTiO₃ doped with a transition metal (TM), namely, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, or Ni. The calculated formation energies indicate that compared with Sr, Ti can be substituted more easily by the TM ions. The band structures show that SrTi_0.875Cr_0.125O₃ and SrTi_0.875Co_0.125O₃ are half metals, SrTi_0.875Fe_0.125O₃ is a metal, and SrTi_0.875Mn_0.125O₃ is a semiconductor. The 3d TM-doped SrTiO₃ exhibits various magnetic properties, ranging from ferromagnetism (Cr-, Fe-, and Co-doped SrTiO₃) to antiferromagnetism (Mn-doped SrTiO₃) and nonmagnetism (Ni-doped SrTiO₃). The total magnetic moments are 4.0_μB, 6.23_μB, and 2.0_μB for SrTi_0.75Cr_0.25O₃, SrTi_0.75Fe_0.25O₃, and SrTi_0.75Co_0.25O₃, respectively. Room-temperature ferromagnetism can be expected in Cr-, Fe-, and Co-doped SrTiO₃, which agrees with the experimental observations. The electronic structure calculations show that the spin polarizations of the 3d states of the TM atoms are responsible for the ferromagnetism in these compounds. The magnetism of TM-doped SrTiO₃ is explained by the hybridization between the TM-3d states and the O-2p states.

碳硼富勒烯衍生物C18B2M(M=Li,Ti, Fe)的储氢性能计算研究

本文使用密度泛函理论(density functional theory, DFT)中的广义梯度近似(generalized gradient approximation, GGA)研究了经碱金属原子Li、过渡金属原子Ti和Fe原子修饰的富勒烯C₁₈B₂M(M=Li, Ti, Fe)的储氢性能. 研究发现, C₁₈B₂由于B的替代掺杂, 比C₂₀对金属原子具有更高的结合能. 由平均吸附能分析可知: C₁₈B₂Li对H₂的吸附能力较弱, C₁₈B₂Fe对H₂的吸附能力过强, 而C₁₈B₂Ti对H₂的平均吸附能介于0.45-0.59 eV 之间, 介于物理吸附和化学吸附之间 (0.2-0.6 eV), 因此可以实现常温下的可逆储氢. C₁₈B₂M(M=Li, Ti, Fe)能够吸附的H₂数目最多分别为4, 6和4. 由储氢机理分析可知: C₁₈B₂Li主要通过碱金属离子激发的静电场来吸附H₂, 而C₁₈B₂Ti和C₁₈B₂Fe主要通过金属原子与H₂之间的Kubas作用来吸附H₂. 由于C₁₈B₂Ti既有较大的储氢数目, 又可以实现可逆储氢, 因此有望开发成新型纳米储氢材料.     

Itinerant magnetism in TiMxBe2-x (M = Cu, Fe)

Magnetization and Mössbauer studies of TiCu_xFe_yBe_2-x-y (x = 0, 0.03, 0.4, y = 0, 0.02) show that TiBe₂ is an enhanced paramagnet, 0.02 Fe or 0.03 Cu reduce the susceptibility. On the other hand, TiCu_0.4Be_1.6 is ferromagnetic (T_c = 20 K) and 0.02 Fe reduces the magnetization and Curie point (T_c = 16 K). The magnetic properties of all samples are extremely sensitive to sample preparation and heat treatments.

The Mössbauer studies show that the itinerant magnetism resides on the Ti site, all Ti sites have the same local spin density irrespective of local environment.

ZnGa₂S₄和HgGa₂S₄两种材料的折射率曲线在等离子体频率ω_p处有一明显的拐点, 反射系数在ω_p处达到最大值后急剧下降. 三种晶体的强反射峰均处于紫外区域, 因此可以用作紫外光屏蔽或紫外探测材料. 关键词： 缺陷黄铜矿结构 电子结构 光学性质 第一性原理计算     

Cr2MC(M=Al, Ga)的电子结构、弹性和热力学性质的第一性原理研究

Electron-correlation-induced band renormalization and Mott transition in Ca1-xSrxVO3

We present the local density approximate+Gutzwiller results for the electronic structure of Ca_1-xSr_xVO₃. The substitution of Sr²⁺ by Ca²⁺ reduces the bandwidth, as the V—O—V bond angle decreases from 180° for SrVO₃ to about 160° for CaVO₃. However, we find that the bandwidth decrease induced by the V—O—V bond angle decrease is smaller as compared to that induced by electron correlation. In correlated electron systems, such as Ca_1-xSr_xVO₃, the correlation effect of 3d electrons plays a leading role in determining the bandwidth. The electron correlation effect and crystal field splitting collaboratively determine whether the compounds will be in a metal state or in a Mott-insulator phase.     

First-principles study of the （001） surface of cubic PbHfO3 and BaHfO3

Using first-principles techniques,we investigate the(001) surfaces of cubic PbHfO3(PHO) and BaHfO3(BHO) terminated with both AO(A=Pb and Ba) and HfO2.Surface structure,partial density of states,band structure,and surface energy are obtained.The BaO surface is found to be similar to its counterpart in BHO.For the HfO2-terminated surface of cubic PHO,the largest relaxation appears on the second-layer atoms but not on the first-layer ones.The analysis of the structure relaxation parameters reveals that the rumpling of the(001) surface for PHO is stronger than that for BHO.The surface thermodynamic stability is explored,and it is found that both the PbO-and the BaO-terminated surfaces are more stable than the HfO2-terminated surfaces for PHO and BHO,respectively.The surface energy calculations show that the(001) surface of PHO is more easily constructed than that of BHO.     

First principles studies on the electronic structures of LiMxFe1-xPO4 （M = Co, Ni and Rh）

The local crystal structures and electronic structures of LiMxFe1-xPO4 （M = Co, Ni, Rh） are studied through first-principles calculations. The lattice constants and unit cell volumes are smaller for the Co and Ni doped materials than for pure LiFePO4, while larger than for the Rh doped material. The local structures around M atoms in the doped materials are studied in details. The total density of states （DOS） and atomic projected DOS （PDOS） are all calculated and analysed in detail. The results give a reasonable prediction to the improvement of electronic conductivity through Fe-site doping in LiFePO4 material.

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.     

电场诱导(MgO)12储氢的从头计算研究

管状(MgO)₁₂是(MgO)_n的幻数团簇, 非常稳定. 为研究电场对其储氢性能的影响, 本文在B3LYP/6-31G^**水平上研究了电场中H₂在(MgO)₁₂管状结构上的吸附性质. 结果表明 (MgO)₁₂能承受强电场而保持管状结构并被极化, 其偶极矩增大为场强0.01 a.u. 和0.02 a.u.时的9.21和19.39 deb (1 deb=3.33564×10^-30C·m). H₂能稳定吸附在单个Mg/O原子上. 无电场时H₂在Mg上为侧位吸附, 而在O上为端位吸附; 电场中, H₂在Mg和O上均为端位吸附, 且其分子取向沿外电场方向. 由于(MgO)₁₂ 及H₂均被电场极化, 因此H₂在(MgO)₁₂部分位置上的吸附强度显著提高. H₂在3配位的Mg/O上的吸附能由无电场时0.08/0.06 eV分别提高到场强为0.01 a.u.和0.02 a.u.时的0.12/0.11 eV 和0.20/0.26 eV. 电子结构分析表明H₂吸附在Mg原子上时, 向团簇转移电荷, 电场极化效应是其吸附能较无电场时增大的主要原因. 吸附在O原子上时, 一方面由于O阴离子极化效应更强; 另一方面, H₂从(MgO)₁₂得到电荷, 其价轨道与团簇价轨道重叠形成化学键, 因此电场效应更显著. 电场中(MgO)₁₂最多能吸附16个H₂, 相应的质量密度为6.25 wt%.

Electronic structure and optical properties of Mg_xZn_(1-x)S bulk crystal using first-principles calculations

We perform the first-principles calculations within the framework of density functional theory to determine the elec- tronic structure and optical properties of MgxZnl-xS bulk crystal. The results indicate that the electronic structure and optical properties of MgxZnl_xS bulk crystal are sensitive to the Mg impurity composition. In particular, the MgxZnl-xS bulk crystal displays a direct band structure and the band gap increases from 2.05 eV to 2.91 eV with Mg dopant compo- sition value x increasing from 0 to 0.024. The S 3p electrons dominate the top of valence band, while the Zn 4s electrons and Zn 3p electrons occupy the bottom of conduction band in MgxZnl_xS bulk crystal. Moreover, the dielectric constant decreases and the optical absorption peak obviously has a blue shift. The calculated results provide important theoretical guidance for the applications of MgxZn1-xS bulk crystal in optical detectors.     

Dissociations of O2 molecules on ultrathin Pb(111) films: first-principles plane wave calculations

Using first-principles calculations, we systematically study the dissociations of O₂ molecules on different ultrathin Pb(111) films. According to our previous work revealing the molecular adsorption precursor states for O₂, we further explore why there are two nearly degenerate adsorption states on Pb(111) ultrathin films, but no precursor adsorption states existing at all on Mg(0001) and Al(111) surfaces. The reason is concluded to be the different surface electronic structures. For the O₂ dissociation, we consider both the reaction channels from gas-like and molecularly adsorbed O₂ molecules. We find that the energy barrier for O₂ dissociation from the molecular adsorption precursor states is always smaller than that from O₂ gas. The most energetically favorable dissociation process is found to be the same on different Pb(111) films, and the energy barriers are found to be influenced by the quantum size effects of Pb(111) films.     

Orbital responses to methyl sites in CnH2n+2 (n=1-6)

Orbital responses to methyl sites in C_nH_2n+2 (n=1-6) are studied by B3LYP/TZVP based on the most stable geometries using the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ method. Vertical ionization energies are produced using the SAOP/et-pVQZ model for the complete valence space. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) investigations indicate the p-electron profiles in methane, ethane, propane, and n-butane. By increasing the number of carbon-carbon bonds in lower momentum regions, the s, p-hybridized orbitals are built and display strong exchange and correlation interactions in lower momentum space (P≤0.50 a.u.). Meanwhile, the relative intensities of the isomers in lower momentum space show the strong bonding number dependence of the carbon-carbon bonds, meaning that more electrons have contributed to orbital construction. The study of representative valence orbital momentum distribution further confirms that the structural changes lead to evident electronic rearrangement over the whole valence space. An analysis based on the isomers reveals that the valence orbitals are isomer-dependent and the valence ionization energy experiences an apparent shift in the inner valence space. However, such shifts are greatly reduced in the outer valence space. Meanwhile, the opposite energy shift trend is found in the intermediate valence space.

层数变化对堆叠生长的MoS_(2(1-x))Se_(2x)电子结构的影响

二维过渡金属硫化物因其独特的光电特性在多功能光电器件方面具有广泛的应用前景.为了进一步拓展其在微纳光电子器件方面的应用范围,并提高器件性能,人们开展了通过合金手段改变端组分材料配比实现对二维半导体材料带隙调控的带隙工程以及调控生长条件改变材料形貌和结构的缺陷工程研究.本文利用光学、原子力和扫描电子显微镜等设备以及拉曼和光致发光光谱等手段对由化学气相沉积法生长出来的堆叠状MoS_(2(1-x))Se_(2x)合金的性质进行了研究.不同于大多数单层或少层MoS_(2(1-x))Se_(2x)合金的情况,堆叠生长的阶梯状MoS_(2(1-x))Se_(2x)合金材料在厚度从2.2 nm (约3层)一直增加到5.6 nm (约7层)时都显出了较强的发光特性,甚至在100 nm厚时,样品的发光谱线仍具有两个发光峰.两个激子发光峰分别来源于自旋轨道耦合造成的价带劈裂.随着厚度的增加,两个峰都逐渐红移,显示了合金掺杂时的能带弯曲效应.拉曼光谱给出了类MoS_2和类MoSe_2两套振动模.随着厚度的增加,拉曼峰位几乎不移动,但面内的两个振动模E_(2g(Mo-Se))和E_(2g(Mo-s))逐渐显现并增强.显然缺陷和应力是影响堆叠生长MoS_(2(1-x))Se_(2x)合金样品电子结构的主要因素,这为特殊功能器件的制备和可控缺陷工程的研究提供了有益的参考.
