Fundamental absorption frequencies and mean structures at vibrational ground state from quasi-classical direct ab initio MD: Triatomic molecule

The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.

Lone Pair Electrons

Threshold photoelectron–photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the decay dynamics of the valence electronic states of the parent cation of several hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), based on fluorine-substituted ethane, in the energy range 11–25 eV. We present data for CF 3– CHF 2, CF 3– CH 2 F , CF 3– CH 3 and CHF 2– CH 3. The threshold photoelectron spectra (TPES) of these molecules show a common feature of a broad, relatively weak ground state, associated with electron removal from the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) having mainly C–C σ-bonding character. Adiabatic and vertical ionisation energies for the HOMO of the four HFCs are presented, together with corresponding values from ab initio calculations. For those lower-energy molecular orbitals associated with non-bonding fluorine 2pπ lone pair electrons, these electronic states of the HFC cation decay impulsively by C–F bond fission with considerable release of translational kinetic energy. Appearance energies are presented for formation of the daughter cation formed by such a process (e.g. CF 3– CHF +), together with ab initio energies of the corresponding dissociation channel (e.g. CF 3– CHF + + F ). Values for the translational kinetic energy released are compared with the predictions of a pure-impulsive model.

Titanium Carbosulfide

AbstractTitanium carbosulfide (Ti2CS) is frequently found as an inclusion phase in Ti - containing steels. It is of considerable interest because, whenever present in preference to the more common manganese sulfide (MnS), it significantly improves the toughness (a very desirable property) of the steel. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, there is no data, either computational or experimental, regarding the structural properties of Ti2CS. This data is needed to understand the influence of the Ti2CS inclusions on the toughness of the host material.In this paper, our results from the ab-initio calculations, using the LKKR-ASA (Layer Korringa Kohn Rostoker method in the Atomic Spheres Approximation) on the equilibrium ground state properties of bulk Ti2CS are presented and discussed. In particular, attention is focused upon (a) the Energy – Atomic Volume curve generated to calculate the equilibrium lattice constant and the bulk modulus, and (b) the density of states calculations. The application of these results to the subsequent study of an interface involving the carbosulfide and the host matrix is also illustrated.
