高温压电晶体是许多机电器件必需的一种多功能材料, Ga₃PO₇晶体的居里温度高达1364 ℃, 可应用于高温极限条件. 但是预测高温极限条件下晶体的结构以及物理性质的问题采用实验研究的手段非常困难, 而理论上的预测未见研究. 本文采用密度泛函-准谐振近似理论计算了温度在0-1200 ℃范围内Ga₃PO₇ 晶体的结构常数和热学性质, 结果表明Ga₃PO₇晶体的晶格常数a和c随温度的升高呈线性增大, 且c方向受温度影响更为显著; 晶体的密度随温度的升高而减小, 计算的a 和c方向平均热膨胀系数分别为1.67×10^-6 K^-1和3.58×10^-6 K^-1, 高温区定压热容为2.067 J/g·K, 与实验值一致. 计算了从常温到高温下该晶体的弹性常数以及体弹性模量的变化, 研究了高温条件下的声表面波特性, 发现随着温度的升高, 声表面波速度浮动较小, 而机电耦合系数略有增大; 在传播角为151° 时该晶体具有较好的温度稳定性且机电耦合系数达到最大值, 这表明Ga₃PO₇ 晶体是一种有望应用于高温环境下的压电晶体.     

New massively parallel linear-response coupled-cluster module in ACES III: application to static polarisabilities of closed-shell molecules and oligomers and of open-shell radicals

ABSTRACT

Stemming from our implementation of parallel coupled-cluster (CC) capabilities for electron spin resonance properties [J. Chem. Phys. 139, 174103 (2013)], we present a new massively parallel linear response CC module within ACES III. Unlike alternative parallel CC modules, this general purpose module evaluates any type of first- and second-order CC properties of both closed- and open-shell molecules employing restricted, unrestricted and restricted-open-shell Hartree–Fock (HF) references. We demonstrate the accuracy and usefulness of this module through the calculation of static polarisabilities of large molecules. Closed-shell calculations are performed at the following levels: second-order many-body perturbation theory [MBPT(2)], CC with single- and double-excitations (CCSD), coupled-perturbed HF and density functional theory (DFT), and open-shell calculations at the unrestricted CCSD (UCSSD) one. Applications involve eight closed-shell organic-chemistry molecules (Set I), the first four members of the closed-shell thiophene oligomer series (Set II), and five open-shell radicals (Set III). In Set I, all calculated average polarisabilities agree reasonably well with experimental data. In Set II, all calculated average polarisabilities vs. the number of monomers show comparable values and saturation patterns and demonstrate that experimental polarisabilities may be inaccurate. In Set III, UCCSD perpendicular polarisabilities show a reasonable agreement with previous UCCSD(T) and restricted-open-shell-MBPT(2) values.     

A three-component model on the structure of colloidal solution with size-asymmetric electrolytes

ABSTRACT

A three-component model on the structure of colloidal solution with size asymmetric electrolytes is attempted here using density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulation. The solvent is represented as an individual component along with that as a dielectric continuum. The theory uses a weighted density approximation for the hard-sphere contribution to the free energy, whereas the ionic contribution is evaluated through a perturbation expansion around the bulk density. The theory is found to reproduce the simulation data quite well for a wide range of parametric conditions. The present study reflects the importance of the presence of the solvent in determining the structural behaviour of spherical double layers.     

具有延长共轭的绿色发光蛋白生色团的反向溶剂化斯托克斯(Stokes)位移

Chromophore structures inspired by natural green fluorescent protein (GFP) play an important role in the field of bio-imaging. In this work, photochemical properties of a new class of GFP-like chromophores are investigated using computational approaches. Thermodynamically stable isomers are identified in vacuum and in solvent. Spectral Stokes shifts are computed and compared to experiments. An inverted solvatochromic shift between absorption and emission emerging in this new class of GFP-like chromophores is observed, and attributed to the stabilized charge transfer and inhibited rotational structural reorganization in solvent.     

氧化石墨烯负载的Pt单原子催化硼胺烷水解机理的理论研究

本文研究了氧化石墨烯负载Pt单原子(Pt₁/Gr-O)催化硼胺烷(NH₃BH₃)全水解反应机理,即一分子的NH₃BH₃生成三分子的氢气(H₂)的过程. 在水解路径中,首先吸附的硼胺烷连续断裂两个B-H键生成第一分子的H₂. 接着,一个H₂O分子与^*BHNH₃基团(^*表示吸附态)反应生成^*BH(H₂O)NH₃,其中伸长的O-H键断裂后形成^*BH(OH)NH₃. 然后,第二个H₂O与^*BH(OH)NH₃反应生成^*BH(OH)(H₂O)NH₃,在指向Pt₁/Gr-O表面的O-H断裂后,生成BH(OH)₂NH₃并脱附到水溶液中. 两个水分子脱氢产生的两个H原子脱附生成第二个H₂分子,且Pt₁/Gr-O催化剂恢复. 脱附后的BH(OH)₂NH₃在水溶液中水解生成第三个H₂分子. 纵观整个水解反应,H₂O分子和^*BHNH₃基团的结合是反应速控步,其反应能垒是16.1 kcal/mol. 因此,Pt₁/Gr-O有希望成为室温催化NH₃BH₃全水解催化剂.

In nuclear physics, resonance plays an important role in the formation of many exotic phenomena. This paper introduces the recently developed RMF-CSM, RMFCGF, and RMF-CMR methods and their researches on nuclear single-particle resonances. The energies and widths of the single-particle resonant states in 120Sn and 31Ne and their evolution to mass number and deformation are given. In addition, the physical mechanism of the halo formation in 19C, 31Ne and 39Mg and the cause of energy level inversion near N=20 are analyzed. In particular, the newly developed RMF-CMR approach has been successful in describing stable and exotic nuclei and supports the prediction that Zr isotopes exist in a giant halo.

Impact of silicon dopant on the absorption and Raman spectroscopy of metal clusters with seven atoms

The structural, optical, and magnetic properties of silicon-doped copper, silver, and gold clusters with D_5h symmetry and seven atoms have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. The global optimized structures of silicon-doped metal clusters are predicted to have a higher HOMO–LUMO gap and higher binding energy than nondoped metal clusters, and nondoped metal clusters have a higher magnetic moment than silicon-doped metal clusters. The silicon doping in metal clusters changes absorption strength and range of absorption wavelength. The silicon dopant also provides a significant impact on the absorption and Raman spectroscopy of nondoped metal clusters. The Raman activities of silicon-doped and nondoped metal clusters are helpful in determining the size and structure of the experimental clusters.
