We report a numerical simulation of the conduction and valence band edges of
Cd1-xZnxS nanocrystallites using a one — dimensional potential
model. Electron — hole pairs are assumed to be confined in nanospheres of
finite barrier heights. Optical absorption measurements are used to fit the
bandgap of the Cd1-xZnxS nanocrystal material. A theoretical
analysis is also made to calculate the energy location of bound excitons and
the oscillator strength of interband transitions as a function of zinc
composition. The aim of the latter study is to investigate the optical
behavior of Cd1-xZnxS nanocrystals. An attempt to explain all the
results is presented. 相似文献

Using a parameterized density-functional tight-binding method we have calculated the electronic and structural properties
of Ge–Si nanoparticles. Starting with a spherical part of a zinc-blende/diamond crystal (with the center of the sphere at
the mid-point of a nearest-neighbour bond) we have constructed initial structures that subsequently were allowed to relax.
Structures consisting solely of Ge atoms or solely of Si atoms were studied, together with core-shell structures for which
one semiconductor forms a shell on the core of the other semiconductor. Moreover, homogeneous, ordered SiGe structures as
well as structures with a semisphere of one semiconductor and a semisphere of the other were also considered.
In analysing the results special emphasis is put on identifying particularly stable structures, on explaining the occurrence
of those, on the spatial distribution of the frontier orbitals, and on the variation of the total energy with structure and
composition. 相似文献

We have carried out optical and X-ray photoemission
studies of the dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters. The
dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters are prepared by the chemical
reduction of Au ions loaded within the dendrimer templates.
Photoluminescence spectrum of the dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters with
diameter of about 1.0 nm shows the visible luminescence centered at about
2.8 eV. In addition, we have measured the nanocluster-size dependent
photoemission spectra in the valence-band region. From line shape analysis
of Au 4f X-ray photoemission spectra, Au 4f core-level spectra of
the dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters reflect the size dependent
chemical-states. From these results, we discuss electronic structures and
chemical states of the dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoclusters. 相似文献

The low-energy electronic structure of icosahedral
fullerenes is studied within the field-theory model. In the field
model, the pentagonal rings in the fullerene are simulated by two
kinds of gauge fields. The first one, non-abelian field, follows
from so-called K spin rotation invariance for the spinor field
while the second one describes the elastic flow due to pentagonal
apical disclinations. For fullerene molecule, these fluxes are
taken into account by introducing an effective field due to
magnetic monopole placed at the center of a sphere.
Additionally, the spherical geometry of the
fullerene is incorporated via the spin connection term. The exact
analytical solution of the problem (both for the eigenfunctions
and the energy spectrum) is found. 相似文献

Biferrocene-modified gold nanoparticles
(Aun-BFc) comprising 1.7, 2.2 and 2.9 nm
in average core diameter, d,
were synthesized by a substitution reaction of octyl
thiolate-covered nanoparticles with biferrocene-terminated
alkanethiol, 1-(9-thiononyl-1-one)-1, 1-biferrocene (BFcS).
All sizes of Aun-BFc undergo two-step
oxidation reactions in 0.1 mol dm-3
Bu4NClO4-CH2Cl2
and consecutive potential scans including the second oxidation
process lead to the formation of an adhesive redox-active gold
nanoparticle film on an electrode. The thickness of the
Aun-BFc film is controllable by the
number of potential scans. The scanning tunneling microscope
images reveal that the Aun-BFc (d = 2.9 nm) film forms many domains of
the assembled Aun-BFcs, especially the
particles are isotropically assembled in line. 相似文献

Fullerene-like silicon nanostructures with twenty and twenty-four carbon
atoms on the surface of the Si60 cage by substitution, as well as
inside the cage at various orientations have been studied within the
generalized gradient approximation to density functional theory. Full
geometry optimizations have been performed without any symmetry constraints
using the Gaussian 03 suite of programs and the LANL2DZ basis set. Thus, for the
silicon atom, the Hay-Wadt pseudopotential with the associated basis set is
used for the core electrons and the valence electrons, respectively. For the
carbon atom, the Dunning/Huzinaga double zeta basis set is employed.
Electronic and geometric properties of these nanostructures are presented
and discussed in detail. Optimized silicon-carbon fullerene like
nanostructures are found to have increased stability compared to the bare
Si60 cage and the stability depends on the number and the orientation
of carbon atoms, as well as on the nature of silicon-carbon and
carbon-carbon bonding. 相似文献

The geometric structures, energetics and electronic properties of the recently discovered BN nanocones are investigated using
first-principles calculations based on the density-functional theory. We have proposed one particular structure for BN nanocones
associated with the 240° disclination, derived by the extraction of four 60° segments, presenting as characteristic four pentagons at the apex and termination in two atoms. The cones are simulated by
three clusters containing 58 B plus N atoms and additional 12 H atoms to saturate the dangling bonds at the edge. The most
stable configuration is obtained when the two terminating atoms are one B and one N. For the cases where the two terminating
atoms are of the same kind, the tip with B atoms is determined to have lower binding energy than with N atoms. The local densities
of states of these BN nanocones are investigated and sharp states are found in the regions close (below and above) to the
Fermi energy.

Arrayed cationic K clusters including one 4s-electron in each cluster, i.e., Km+1
m+, were incorporated into α-cages of zeolite LTA with Si/Al=1.5. Although no magnetic phase transition was observed regarding
the temperature (T) dependence of magnetic susceptibilities originating from the 4s-electron spins (χspin) between 2 and 300 K, the χspin-T curve could be fitted by the sum of magnetic susceptibilities based on the Curie-Weiss law and Pauli paramagnetism. A possible
explanation of this behavior is the existence of a narrow energy band formed out of 1s-cluster orbitals of arrayed K clusters,
and the existence of a finite density of state at the Fermi energy. 相似文献

We study the interaction between tin(II) porphyrin (SnPor) with platinum and
non-precious Group 8B metals (iron, cobalt and nickel) by density functional
theory and discuss the electronic properties of the resulting products. We
also model the interaction of the resulting compounds with water where
applicable. Our studies indicate that, SnPor-Ni possesses electronic
properties similar to SnPor-Pt, suggesting that it may possess similar
photocatalytic properties for reduction reactions, such as converting water
to hydrogen gas. 相似文献

of effective-mass approximation by linear variational method.
B-splines have been used as basis functions, which can easily

The properties of
nanowires were investigated with
ab initio calculations based on the density-functional theory.
The molecules build weakly coupled one-dimensional chains, like
and Mo6S9-xIx, and the crystals are
strongly uniaxial in their mechanical and electronic properties.
The calculated moduli of elasticity and resilience along the chain axis are
c11 = 320 GPa and ER = 0.53 GPa, respectively.
The electronic band structure and optical conductivity indicate
that the
crystals are good quasi-one-dimensional conductors.
The frequency-dependent complex dielectric tensor ε, calculated
in the random-phase approximation, shows a strong Drude peak in
ε∥, i.e., for the electric field polarised parallel to
the chain axis, and several peaks related to interband transitions.
The electron energy loss spectrum is weakly anisotropic and has a strong peak
at the plasma frequency ħωp ≈20 eV.
The stability analysis shows that
is metastable against the
formation of the layered

Synchrotron-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on copper and silver
cluster beams created by a magnetron-based gas-aggregation source has
allowed mapping the electron density of states (DOS) of free metallic
nanoparticles. The cluster DOS profiles obtained in the experiments strongly
resemble the infinite solid DOS shapes, but the extracted cluster
work-functions are lower than those for the bulk metal. The latter
observation is explained by the initial negative charge on most of the
clusters, created by the source. 相似文献

We investigate the electronic instabilities of the small-diameter
(3, 3) carbon nanotubes by studying the low-energy perturbations of the
normal Luttinger liquid regime. The bosonization approach is adopted
to deal exactly with the interactions in the forward-scattering
channels, while renormalization group methods are used to analyze
the low-energy instabilities. In this respect, we take into account
the competition between the effective e–e interaction mediated by
phonons and the Coulomb interaction in backscattering and Umklapp
channels. Moreover, we apply our analysis to relevant experimental
conditions where the nanotubes are assembled into large
three-dimensional arrays, which leads to an efficient screening of
the Coulomb potential at small momentum-transfer. We find that the
destabilization of the normal metallic behavior takes place through
the onset of critical behavior in some of the two charge stiffnesses
that characterize the Luttinger liquid state. From a physical point
of view, this results in either a divergent compressibility or a
vanishing renormalized velocity for current excitations at the point
of the transition. We observe anyhow that this kind of critical
behavior occurs without the development of any appreciable sign
of superconducting correlations. 相似文献

The electronic spectra for double-wall zigzag and armchair
nanotubes are found. The influence of nanotube curvatures on the
electronic spectra is also calculated. Our finding that the outer
shell is hole doped by the inner shell is in the difference
between Fermi levels of individual shells which originate from the
different hybridization of π orbital. The shift and rotation
of the inner nanotube with respect to the outer nanotube are
investigated. We found stable semimetal characteristics of the
armchair DWNTs in regard of the shift and rotation of the inner
nanotube. We predict the shift of kF towards the bigger wave
vectors with decreasing of the radius of the armchair nanotube. 相似文献

We have studied the transmission resonances for a confined array of
antidots, using the lattice Green's function method. Two kinds of resonant
peaks via quasibound states are found. One kind of resonant peak corresponds
to the split quasibound states. The split states originate from the
superposition of quasibound states respectively localized in different (T or
crossed) junctions, while the number of quasibound states in each junction
is associated with the arm-width of the junction. Electrons in these split
states are mainly localized in the junctions. The other kind of resonant
peaks correspond to the high quasibound states which exist in (transverse
and longitude) multi-period confined arrays of antidots. It is interesting
to note that electrons in some of the high quasibound states are mainly
localized in the intersection of the junctions rather than in the junctions
themselves. 相似文献

We consider a two-terminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer with a quantum dot inserted in one path of the AB ring.
We investigate the transport properties of this system in and out of the Kondo regime. We utilize perturbation theory to
calculate the electron self-energy of the quantum dot with respect to the intradot Coulomb interaction. We show the expression
of the Kondo temperature as a function of the AB phase together with its dependence on other characteristics such as the
linewidth of the ring and the finite Coulomb interaction and the energy levels of the quantum dot. The current oscillates
periodically as a function
of the AB phase. The amplitude of the current oscillation decreases with increasing Coulomb interaction. For a given temperature,
the electron transport through the AB interferometer
can be selected to be in or out of the Kondo regime by changing the magnetic flux threading perpendicular to the AB ring of
the system. 相似文献

materials physics, and environmental science. In this paper, we
present recent results on studies of H
2
O-silica clusters from first-principles
Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics calculations. Bond strength
and chemical stability are investigated as a function of cluster
size and chemical composition. Both physisorption and
chemisorption of water molecules on the clusters are discussed
via analysis of energetics.
Calculations of clusters are compared with the results from
extended surfaces. The validity of clusters as models of

We report the recent findings of metal (M) encapsulated
clusters of silicon from computer experiments based on
ab initio total energy
calculations and a cage shrinkage and atom removal approach. Our
results show that using a guest atom, it is possible to wrap
silicon in fullerenelike (f)
structures, as sp2 bonding is not
favorable to produce empty cages unlike for carbon. Transition M
atoms have a strong bonding with the silicon cage that are
responsible for the compact structures. The size and structure
of the cage change from 14 to 20 Si atoms depending upon the
size and valence of the M atom. Fewer Si atoms lead to
relatively open structures. We find cubic,
f, Frank-Kasper (FK)
polyheral type, decahedral, icosahedral and hexagonal structures
for M@Sin with n = 12-16 and several different M
atoms. The magic behavior of 15 and 16 atom Si cages is in
agreement with experiments. The FK polyhedral cluster,
M@Si16 has an exceptionally large density
functional gap of about 2.35 eV calculated within the
generalized gradient approximation. It is likely to give rise to
visible luminescence in these clusters. The cluster-cluster
interaction is weak that makes such clusters attractive for
cluster assembled materials. Further studies to stabilize
Si20 cage with M = Zr, Ba, Sr, and Pb
show that in all cases there is a distortion of the
f cage. Similar studies on M
encapsulated germanium clusters show FK polyhedral and
decahedral isomers to be more favorable. Also perfect
icosahedral M@Ge12 and
M@Sn12 clusters have been obtained with
large gaps by doping with divalent M atoms. Recent results of
the H interaction with these clusters, hydrogenated silicon
fullerenes as well as assemblies of clusters such as nanowires
and nanotubes are briefly presented. 相似文献

The transport properties of finite length double-walled carbon nanotubes subject to the influences of
a transverse electric field and a magnetic field with varying polar angles
are investigated theoretically. The electrical conductance, thermal conductance and Peltier coefficient
dependences on the external fields and symmetric configuration are studied in linear response regime.
Prominent peak structures of the electrical conductance are predicted when varying the electric field strength.
The features of the
conductance peaks are found to be strongly dependent on the external fields and
the intertube interactions.
The heights of the electrical and thermal conductance peaks display the quantized behavior,
while those of the Peltier coefficient do not. The conductance peaks are found to be broadened
by the finite temperature. 相似文献
