The geometry optimization of the nitrogen-doped diamond has been carried out by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We model the defective diamond of substitutional and interstitial nitrogen atoms by using a simple-cubic supercell. Atoms in the supercell are relaxed by allowing them to move so that the atomic forces are less than 5.0 × 10-3 eV/Å. We calculate the formation energy for substitutional and interstitial sites. We find that the formation energy for the substitutional defect is10.89 eV. We check the convergence of the calculation with respect to the k×k×k - Monkhorst-Pack grids. We show that the energy difference between k = 4 and 6 is very small (7.0 meV). We also check the calculations by using a 216-sites supercell and find that the energy difference is 0.10 eV. Thus, the calculations of the formation energy converge well. As for the interstitial defect, we model some possible configurations and find that the smallest formation energy is 21.88 eV. Therefore, the most stable configuration of the nitrogen-doped diamond belongs to the substitutional site.

ABSTRACTThe vibrational spectra of N-pairs and nitrogen-vacancy-oxygen defects in nitrogen doped Czochralski silicon have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. We found that 771 cm−1 and 967 cm−1 lines measured by FTIR are fingerprints for N-pairs in interstitial position. These confirm that nitrogen atoms are paired and bonded to Si atoms. Calculated local vibration modes of N2On complexes provide the best matching with observed FTIR frequency of N-O complexes. Nonetheless, VmN2On (m,n =1,2) can develop during crystal cooling or wafer processing, as revealed by local vibrational modes falling around, 806 and 815 cm−1 FTIR frequencies.

In-depth investigations of adsorption and decomposition of methanol over boron-doped graphene supported Ru–Pt catalyst are presented using periodic density functional theory calculations. Methanol decomposition on such catalyst proceeds through formation of methoxide (CH3O) and via stepwise dehydrogenation of formaldehyde (CH2O), formyl (CHO), and carbon monoxide (CO).
