Structures of Pt clusters on graphene doped with nitrogen, boron, and silicon: a theoretical study

The structures of Pt clusters on nitrogen-,boron-,silicon-doped graphenes are theoretically studied using densityfunctional theory.These dopants(nitrogen,boron and silicon) each do not induce a local curvature in the graphene and the doped graphenes all retain their planar form.The formation energy of the silicon-graphene system is lower than those of the nitrogen-,boron-doped graphenes,indicating that the silicon atom is easier to incorporate into the graphene.All the substitutional impurities enhance the interaction between the Pt atom and the graphene.The adsorption energy of a Pt adsorbed on the silicon-doped graphene is much higher than those on the nitrogen-and boron-doped graphenes.The doped silicon atom can provide more charges to enhance the Pt-graphene interaction and the formation of Pt clusters each with a large size.The stable structures of Pt clusters on the doped-graphenes are dimeric,triangle and tetrahedron with the increase of the Pt coverage.Of all the studied structures,the tetrahedron is the most stable cluster which has the least influence on the planar surface of doped-graphene.     

Chiral structures and tunable magnetic moments in 3d transition metal doped Pt6 clusters

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of transition metal doped platinum clusters MPt6 （M=Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn） are systematically studied by using the relativistic all-electron density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. Most of the doped clusters show larger binding energies than the pure Pt7 cluster, which indicates that the doping of the transition metal atom can stabilize the pure platinum cluster. The results of the highest occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） lowest unoccupied molecular orbital （LUMO） gaps suggest that the doped clusters can have higher chemical activities than the pure Pt7 cluster. The magnetism calculations demonstrate that the variation range of the magnetic moments of the MPt6 clusters is from 0 μB to 7 μB, revealing that the MPt6 clusters have potential utility in designing new spintronic nanomaterials with tunable magnetic properties.     

镶嵌有纳米硅的氮化硅薄膜键合特性分析

采用螺旋波等离子体化学气相沉积(HWPCVD)技术制备了非化学计量比的氢化氮化硅薄膜,对所沉积样品及氮气环境中920 ℃退火样品的微观结构及键合特性进行了分析。Raman散射结果表明,薄膜中过量硅以非晶纳米粒子形式存在,退火样品呈现纳米晶硅和氮化硅的镶嵌结构。红外吸收和可见光吸收特性比较结果显示,薄膜样品的微观结构依赖于化学计量比以及退火过程,硅含量较低样品因高的键合氢含量而表现出低的纳米硅表面缺陷态密度;退火过程将引起Si—H和N—H键合密度的减少,因晶态纳米颗粒的形成,退火样品表现出更高的结构无序度。     

Theoretical study of molecular hydrogen clusters

Hydrogen clusters are formed by packing H₂ molecules. A structural characterization of (H₂)_N clusters up to N=35 has been carried out at zero temperature by using density functional theory. The binding between the hydrogen molecules is very weak and the cluster growth reminds that of the inert gas clusters. An icosahedron is obtained for (H₂)₁₃. For clusters larger than (H₂)₁₃ several growth models have been compared. The binding energy indicates specially stable clusters for some particular sizes. The magic numbers can be related to Raman spectroscopy experiments, where the intensity of the Raman signal serves to assign enhanced abundance to clusters with N≈13,32,55, which coincide with some of the most stable clusters obtained in the present study. In addition, comparison of theory and experiment suggests that clusters with N smaller than 27 are liquid. The photoabsorption spectra have been calculated using time-dependent density functional theory. Those spectra can be interpreted as a widening of the absorption peaks of the H₂ molecule due to the various environments experienced by different molecules in the same cluster.     

硅团簇熔化行为的紧束缚分子动力学研究

利用紧束缚分子动力学方法研究了硅团簇Si_n(n=5—10)的熔化行为.给出了团簇 熔化潜热 和熔点随团簇尺寸的变化关系，表明团簇熔化潜热和熔点强烈依赖于团簇的原子数.计算结 果表明硅团簇熔化机理与金属团簇熔化有很大不同，金属小团簇的熔化是一个从低温类固态 向高温类固态转变的过程，在转变温区，类固态和类液态处于动力学共存，而硅团簇在转变 温区则是处于一种中间态，这种中间态既不是类固态又不是类液态.比较了用不同计算方法 和定义方法所得硅团簇熔点. 关键词： 紧束缚 硅团簇 熔化潜热     

a-Si∶O∶H薄膜微结构及其高温退火行为研究

4-乙烯基联吡啶金属配合物的光谱研究

采用水热合成法以4-乙烯基联吡啶（dpe）为有机配体与铜,锌和镉的硫酸盐合成了三种金属有机配合物,利用红外、拉曼、紫外-可见光谱对dpe及合成的配位化合物进行了对比研究,对主要红外和拉曼谱带进行了归属,讨论了配体dpe和配合物的特征谱带与其结构间的关系。红外吸收光谱上,dpe中C—C伸缩和C—N面内弯曲的复合振动,在Cu-dpe,Zn-dpe和Cd-dpe配合物中分别位移到较高的波数处。在拉曼光谱中,对于相应的C—N,CC, C—C和C—H键的振动频率也看到了相同的变化规律。在紫外-可见光谱中,Zn-dpe,Cd-dpe分别只有一个配体本身的跃迁吸收峰,而配合物Cu-dpe由于发生了d—d电子跃迁,产生两个吸收峰,分别归属为配体本身的跃迁吸收谱带和配位体场吸收谱带,可见同一种配体与不同的金属离子合成的配位化合物,由于金属离子核外电子分布的不同,其紫外-可见光谱有很大变化。     

HmTiSin(m=1～2;n=2～8)团簇结构、电子性质和红外光谱的密度泛函理论研究

近些年,由于硅半导体材料在微电子工业中的潜在应用,其理论和实验研究备受人们广泛关注。尤其是过渡金属掺杂的硅团簇材料在物理化学性质方面表现了极好的稳定性。这些主要归因于过渡金属含有未填满的d轨道电子,可以填充硅团簇表面的空轨道,减少团簇表面的悬挂键,进而提高整个掺杂硅团簇的结构稳定性,同时产生各种特殊光学、磁性和超导等性质。采用密度泛函理论DFT-B3LYP方法对H_mTiSi_n(m=1～2; n=2～8)团簇的几何结构和电子性质进行了理论计算,讨论了Ti掺杂硅团簇TiSi_n(n=2～8)及其氢化团簇基态结构的变化规律、解离通道和HOMO-LUMO能隙等特征。结果表明,随着Si原子数目的增加,在TiSi_n(n=2～8)团簇中其掺杂Ti原子依次吸附在团簇的棱、面及结构内部。当在掺杂团簇表面吸附氢原子时,都优于吸附在团簇的硅原子上,而且绝大多数的氢化结构采纳了TiSi_n团簇的骨架构型。解离能和HOMO-LUMO能隙的分析结果表明在团簇表面吸附两个H原子时能够明显提高整个团簇的结构稳定性。二阶能量差分的研究发现TiSi₂和TiSi₆团簇相对其他团簇具有较高的稳定性,同时两个H₁TiSi₇和H₂TiSi₇氢化团簇的稳定性更高。此外,模拟了这些氢化团簇的红外振动特征峰,对主要特征峰进行了归属。这些研究将为过渡金属掺杂硅基团簇材料的实验制备和表征提供重要的理论参考。

Line parameters and shapes of high clusters: R branch of the ν3 band of CH4 in He mixtures

The IR absorption spectra of CH₄ in pure gas and in mixture with helium were studied in the region of ν₃ band at higher J line clusters R(17)-R(22). The frequencies and intensities of rotation-vibration lines were estimated from the experimental spectra at Doppler shape conditions. The line frequencies and intensities were calculated and used for the attribution of overlapped lines in clusters. The calculated line intensities are close to the experimental values. The calculated frequency structure of the higher J manifolds are somewhat wider than the observed one. The shapes of helium-broadened line clusters were compared with those calculated accounting for line mixing. The relaxation matrix W, which is necessary in shape calculations, was constructed using semiclassical collision rate constants. The calculated shapes are in satisfactory accordance with the measured ones.     

Mechanical properties,lattice thermal conductivity,infrared and Raman spectrum of the fullerite C24

Lightweight carbon materials with excellent thermal and mechanical properties have important applications in aerospace industry. In this study, the stability, mechanical properties, lattice thermal conductivity, electronic structure, infrared and Raman spectrum of sp³ hybridized low-density fullerite C₂₄ were investigated according to density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the fullerite C₂₄ was both thermodynamic and dynamic stable. Quasi-harmonic approximation and Grüneisen parameter calculations clarified why the fullerite C₂₄ had a positive thermal expansion coefficient at low temperature. The fullerite C₂₄ also exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Interestingly, the Vickers hardness of carbon allotropes was found to almost be linear proportional to the density of a carbon material. HSE06 electronic structure calculations showed that it was a semiconductor with direct bandgap of 2.56 eV. Anharmonic lattice dynamic calculations showed that its thermal conductivity was higher than semiconductor silicon. Besides, Raman and infrared active modes as well as the corresponding spectra were presented.     

The 13-atom encapsulated gold cage clusters

The structure and the magnetic moment of transition metal encapsulated in a Au 12 cage cluster have been studied by using the density functional theory.The results show that all of the transition metal atoms(TMA) can embed into the Au 12 cage and increase the stability of the clusters except Mn.Half of them have the I h or O h symmetry.The curves of binding energy have oscillation characteristics when the extra-nuclear electrons increase;the reason for this may be the interaction between parity changes of extra-nuclear electrons and Au atoms.The curves of highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(HOMO-LUMO) gap also have oscillation characteristics when the extra-nuclear electrons increase.The binding energies of many M@Au 12 clusters are much larger than that of the pure Au 13 cluster,while the gaps of some of them are less than that of Au 13,so maybe Cr@Au 12,Nb@Au 12,and W@Au 12 clusters are most stable in fact.For magnetic calculations,some clusters are quenched totally,but the Au 13 cluster has the largest magnetic moment of 5 μ B.When the number of extra-nuclear electrons of the encapsulated TMA is even,the magnetic moment of relevant M@Au 12 cluster is even,and so are the odd ones.

Ab initio calculations for the absorption spectra and polarizabilities of small sulfur clusters

Absorption spectra for Sn clusters （n=2...8） are calculated using an adiabatic time-dependent density functional formalism within the local density approximation （LDA）. We compare the calculated spectra with those computed using a simple LDA approach. The time-dependent LDA （TDLDA） spectra display a significant blue shift with respect to the LDA spectra. The calculated spectra present a variety of features that can be used for comparison with future experimental investigations. We also obtain a significant threshold absorption, which can distinguish between different ground states of the sulfur clusters. In addition, the polarizabilities of the clusters are calculated by using the higherorder finite-difference pseudopotential density functional method in real space. We find that the polarizabilities of the clusters considered are 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 increasing cluster size. The polarizabilities are closely related to the HOMO-LUMO gaps and the geometrical configurations.     

Identification of I3 − and I5 − clusters in irradiated ki by X-ray photoelectron,Raman and optical absorption spectroscopies

Abstract

Raman and XPS measurements have been performed on KI crystals irradiated near 200 K. The Raman studies show I₃ ^? and I_n ^? (n = 5, 7,—) clusters which anneal together with F- and V- centres at 338 K. A small development of (I₂)_n aggregates occurs during the anneal; these decay near 378 K and are responsible for a broad and weak residual V-band. The I 3d _5/2 XPS peak has been fitted to reveal the presence of 3 components after low energy argon- ion bombardment. These are identified as due to normal lattice iodine, I₃ ^? and 1₅ ^? whose behaviour is consistent with the Raman work.

对实验测量的PbB4O7晶体样品的太赫兹(1012Hz)光谱、拉曼光谱以及红外—可见—紫外光谱进行了分析.在0.25—2.5THz波段介电函数随频率变化曲线ε(ν)出现共振型尖峰.四方面的分析表明PbB4O7晶体中存在软光学声子:1)介电函数随频率的变化曲线ε(ν)满足LST(Lyddane-Sachs-Teller)关系;2)在共振峰的频率附近(3.10THz)有很强的拉曼散射峰;3)吸收系数随频率的变化曲线α(ν)满足极化激元的特征;4)透过晶体的光子的色散关系ν(k)发生断开的畸变.PbB4O7晶体中存在软光学声子的意义在于,在满足产生极化激元的条件下,透过晶体的光子的频率会发生劈裂,分为升高和降低的两支,有可能利用这种原理来改变光子的频率.     

Effect of oxygen content and charge on the structure,stability and optoelectronic properties of yttrium oxide clusters

The electronic and geometrical structures of neutral and charged YOn (n=2–12) clusters have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation. The oxygen atom in YOn has been found to be in oxo, peroxo and in superoxo forms. The geometrical structures and topologies of small size anionic clusters resemble that of neutral clusters. Yttrium showed higher coordination number than scandium. Computed results reveal the existence of YO₁₀ cluster to have a penta-peroxo oxygen with a homoleptic Y(η² –O₂)₅ geometrical configuration. The HOMO–LUMO gaps decrease with increasing n due to the increase in 2p orbital population of oxygen atoms. It has been shown that in these clusters bonding are predominantly ionic in nature and anions are thermodynamically more stable, due to the charge delocalization between the metal atom and oxygen ligands. YO₁₀⁺ and YO₁₂⁺ were found to be highly exothermic to release one and two oxygen molecules, while YO₁₁⁺ dissociates though the ozonide dissociation channel. Computed absorption spectra of small clusters are mainly contributed by yttrium metal d and s valence orbitals. The absorbance spectra, shifts towards lower energy with cluster size increase, while charge has no substantial effect on the absorption spectrum.

Effect of substrate temperature and pressure on properties of microcrystalline silicon films

In this paper intrinsic microcrystalline silicon films have been prepared by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (VHF-PECVD) with different substrate temperature and pressure. The film properties were investigated by using Raman spectra, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and optical transmittance measurements, as well as dark conductivity. Raman results indicate that increase of substrate temperature improves the microcrystallinity of the film. The crystallinity is improved when the pressure increases from 50Pa to 80Pa and the structure transits from microcrystalline to amorphous silicon for pressure higher than 80Pa. SEM reveals the effect of substrate temperature and pressure on surface morphology.
