Study of the electric capacitance spectra on symmetric quantum-dot pattern

We have calculated the ground-state energy of the symmetric quantum-dot pattern by the ab initio calculation method, i.e. unrestricted Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (UHFR) method based on the Gaussian basis, and studied their electric capacitance spectra, assuming each quantum dot of quantum-dot pattern to be confined in a three-dimensional spherical potential well of finite depth. For the systems in question, our results show that our method and theoretical model not only give the electric capacitance peaks similar to s-shell and p-shell atom-like quantum dot, but also show some new fine-structure of electric capacitance in the symmetric quantum-dot pattern system. This method might be a feasible tool to study few-electron problems on the symmetric quantum-dot pattern system.     

Adsorptions of metal adatoms on graphene-like BC_3 and their rich electronic properties: A first-principles study

Density functional calculations have been performed to investigate the adsorption of twenty two different kinds of metal adatoms on graphene-like BC_3. In contrast to the graphene adsorbed with adatoms, the BC_3 with adatoms shows many interesting properties.(1) The interaction between the metal adatoms and the BC_3 sheet is remarkably strong. The Li, Na, K, and Ca possess the binding energies larger than the cohesive energies of their corresponding bulk metals.(2)The Li, Na, and K adatoms form approximately ideal ionic bonds with BC_3, while the Be, Mg, and Ca adatoms form ionic bonds with BC_3 with slight hybridization of covalent bonds. The Al, Ga, In, Sn, and all transition metal adatoms form covalent bonds with BC_3.(3) For all the structures studied, there exhibit metal, half-metal, semiconducting, and spin-semiconducting behaviors. Especially, the BC_3 with Co adatom shows a quantum anomalous Hall(QAH) phase with a Chern number of -1 based on local density approximation calculations.(4) For Li, Na, K, Ca, Ga, In, Sn, Ti, V, Cr,Ni, Pd, and Pt, there exists a trend that the adatom species with lower ionization potential have lower work function. Our results indicate the potential applications of functionalization of BC_3 with metal adatoms.     

双空位掺杂氟化石墨烯的电子性质和磁性

基于密度泛函理论,计算了外来原子X(Al,P,Ga,As,Si)双空位替代掺杂氟化石墨烯的电子特性和磁性.通过对计算结果分析发现,与石墨烯的双空位掺杂类似,氟化石墨烯的双空位掺杂也是一种较为理想的掺杂方式.通过不同原子掺杂,氟化石墨烯的电子性质与磁性均发生很大变化:Al和Ga掺杂使氟化石墨烯由半导体变为金属,并且具有磁性;P和A8掺杂使氟化石墨烯变为自旋半导体;Si掺杂氟化石墨烯仍是半导体,只改变带隙且没有磁性.进一步讨论磁性产生机制获得了掺杂原子浓度与磁性的关系,并且发现不同掺杂情况的磁性是由不同原子的不同轨道电子引起的.双空位掺杂不仅丰富了氟化石墨烯的掺杂方式,其不同电磁特性也使此类掺杂结构在未来的电子器件中具有潜在应用.
