ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of rhodium clusters with sizes of 1 - 43 atoms embedded in the nickel host are studied by the first-principles spin-polarized calculations within the local density functional formalism. Single Rh atom in Ni matrix is found to have magnetic moment of 0.45μB. Rh13 and Rhl 9 clusters in Ni matrix have lower magnetic moments compared with the free ones. The most interesting finding is tha.t Rh43 cluster, which is bulk-like nonmagnetic in vacuum, becomes ferromagnetic when embedded in the nickel host.

We performed local density functional calculations for the electronic structure of short carbon nanobells. The calculated local density of states of the nanobells revealed field emission characteristics that agree with experimental observations. We also performed total energy calculations to study the structural stability and a related possible growth mechanism of the nanobells. In the nitrogen-doped carbon nanobells, nitrogen atoms that are attracted to the open-edge sites of the carbon nanobells appear to stop the growth of the nanostructures.

AbstractA first-principles approach is reviewed for calculating the total energy of chain polymers using a linear combination of atomic orbitals local-density functional approach. The geometry for the all-trans conformation of polysilane is optimized by finding the minimum energy structure using this method.

ABSTRACTWe present self-consistent local density functional calculations of the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of an ideal diamond/Ni (001) interface and an unrelaxed diamond/BN (110) interface. At this stage the small lattice mismatches are not taken into account. Results include predictions of the band line-ups across the interfaces: the Schottky barrier height in the former case and the valence and conduction band discontinuities in the latter case.
