Pt_nAl(n=1—8)小团簇的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论方法,在BPW91/LANL2DZ水平下详细研究了Pt n Al(n=1—8)团簇的几何结构、稳定性和电子性质.同时,分析了团簇的结构演化规律、平均结合能、二阶能量差分、能隙、磁性、Mulliken电荷和电极化率.结果表明:除Pt2Al外,所有Pt n Al(n=1—8)团簇的基态几何结构都可以用Al原子替换Pt n+1基态构型中的Pt原子得到,且Al原子位于较高的配位点上.二阶能量差分、能隙的分析结果表明,PtAl和Pt4Al团簇相对其他团簇具有较高的稳定性.Mulliken电荷分析表明,Al原子所带的电荷转移到Pt原子上,Al原子是电荷的捐赠者.磁性的分析说明,单个Al原子的加入对Pt n团簇的平均每原子磁矩随尺寸的变化趋势没有影响,但总体上降低了Pt n团簇的平均磁矩.极化率的研究表明,富Pt团簇的非线形光学效应强,容易被外场极化.     

Structural, elastic, phonon and electronic properties of a MnPd alloy

The structural, elastic, phonon and electronic properties of a MnPd alloy have been investigated using the first-principles calculation. The calculated lattice constants and electronic structure agree well with the experimental results. The microscopic mechanism of the diffusionless martensitic transition from the paramagnetic B2 (PM-B2) phase to the antiferromagnetic L10 (AFM-L10) phase through the intermediate paramagnetic L10 (PM-L10 ) phase has been explored theoretically. The obtained negative shear modulus C′= (C11-C12)/2 of the PM-B2 phase is closely related to the instability of the cubic B2 phase with respect to the tetragonal distortions. The calculated phonon dispersions for the PM-L10 and AFM-L10 phases indicate that they are dynamically stable. However, the AFM-L10 phase is energetically most favorable according to the calculated total energy order, so the PM-L10 →AFM-L10 transition is caused by the magnetism rather than the electron-phonon interaction. Additionally, the AFM-L10 state is stabilized through the formation of a pseudo gap located at the Fermi level. The calculated results show that the CuAu-I type structure in the collinear antiferromagnetic state is dynamically and mechanically stable, thus is the low temperature phase.     

Structural, elastic, phonon, and electronic properties of MnPd alloy

The structural, elastic, phonon, and electronic properties of MnPd alloy have been investigated by using the first-principles calculations. The calculated lattice constants and electronic structure are in good agreement with the experimental results. The microscopic mechanism of the diffusionless martensitic transition from the paramagnetic B2 (PM-B2) phase to the antiferromagnetic L1₀ (AFM-L1₀) phase through the intermediate paramagnetic L1₀ (PM-L1₀) phase has been explored theoretically. The obtained negative shear modulus C′= (C₁₁-C₁₂)/2 of the PM-B2 phase is closely related to the instability of the cubic B2 phase with respect to the tetragonal distortions. The calculated phonon dispersions for PM-L1₀ and AFM-L1₀ phases indicate that they are dynamically stable. However, the AFM-L1₀ phase is energetically most favorable according to the calculated total energy order, so the PM-L1₀ !AFM-L1₀ transition is caused by the magnetism rather than the electron–phonon interaction. Additionally, the AFM-L1₀ state is stabilized through the formation of a pseudo gap located at the Fermi level. The calculated results show that the CuAu-I type structure in the collinear antiferromagnetic state is dynamically and mechanical stable, thus is the low temperature phase.

First-principles analysis of the structural,electronic, and elastic properties of cubic organic-inorganic perovskite HC(NH_2)_2PbI_3

The structural, electronic, and elastic properties of cubic HC(NH_2)_2PbI_3 perovskite are investigated by density functional theory using the Tkatchenko–Scheffler pairwise dispersion scheme. Our relaxed lattice parameters are in agreement with experimental data. The hydrogen bonding between NH_2 and I ions is found to have a crucial role in FAPbI_3 stability. The first calculated band structure shows that HC(NH_2)_2PbI_3 has a direct bandgap(1.02 eV) at R-point, lower than the bandgap(1.53 eV) of CH_3NH_3PbI_3. The calculated density of states reveals that the strong hybridization of s(Pb)–p(I) orbital in valence band maximum plays an important role in the structural stability. The photo-generated effective electron mass and hole mass at R-point along the R–Γ and R–M directions are estimated to be smaller: m_e~*= 0.06 m0 and m_h~*= 0.08 m0 respectively, which are consistent with the values experimentally observed from long range photocarrier transport. The elastic properties are also investigated for the first time, which shows that HC(NH_2)_2PbI_3 is mechanically stable and ductile and has weaker strength of the average chemical bond. This work sheds light on the understanding of applications of HC(NH_2)_2PbI_3 as the perovskite in a planar-heterojunction solar cell light absorber fabricated on flexible polymer substrates.     

Structural,elastic, electronic,and thermodynamic properties of MgAgSb investigated by density functional theory

The structural, elastic, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of thermoelectric material Mg Ag Sb in γ, β, α phases are studied with first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The optimized lattice constants accord well with the experimental data. According to the calculated total energy of the three phases, the phase transition order is determined from α to γ phase with cooling, which is in agreement with the experimental result. The physical properties such as elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and anisotropy factor are also discussed and analyzed, which indicates that the three structures are mechanically stable and each has a ductile feature. The Debye temperature is deduced from the elastic properties. The total density of states(TDOS) and partial density of states(PDOS) of the three phases are investigated. The TDOS results show that the γ phase is most stable with a pseudogap near the Fermi level, and the PDOS analysis indicates that the conduction band of the three phases is composed mostly of Mg-3s,Ag-4d, and Sb-5p. In addition, the changes of the free energy, entropy, specific heat, thermal expansion of γ-MgAgSb with temperature are obtained successfully. The obtained results above are important parameters for further experimental and theoretical tuning of doped MgAgSb as a thermoelectric material at high temperature.
