Atomistic analyses of thermal conduction across ZrB2/SiC based nanocomposite interface are performed using first principles density functional theory (DFT) with plane-wave basis sets. The changes in the thermal properties of nanocomposites have been analyzed under the effect of straining and temperature and compared for their phononic and electronic dependence.

Density Functional theory (DFT) is used to study the effect of substituents on the electronic and optical property of organic light emitting material 1,3,5-tris(4’-(1’’- phenyl-benzimidazol-2’’- yl)phenyl) amine (TPBB) and its derivatives (MeO-TPBB, Br-TPBB and Bu-TPBB ). TD – DFT has been used to study the absorption spectra of these molecules. This study suggests that each derivative of TPBB shows a UV – VIS spectra at slightly different frequency.

AbstractSeveral aluminophosphonate materials have been investigated using both semi-empirical quantum mechanical and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methodologies. The optimised structures obtained are in excellent agreement with experimental results. Important information on the electronic distribution in these structures is obtained, allowing charge distributions to be determined and H2O-framework interactions to be probed. The barriers to rotation for the organic groups in three structures have been investigated. Results for –(CH3) groups in AlMePO-α and AlMePO-β, yield barrier heights that are consistent with rapid rotation at ambient temperature, whereas the barrier height obtained for –(C6H5) in AlBzPO-I suggests that the framework will significantly hinder rotation. The use of modelling to help elucidate the structure of a novel compound, AlMePO-2, and to probe the structure and stability of a hypothetical aluminium ethyl phosphonate, AlEtPO, are also illustrated.

Gd endohedral complexes of C82 fullerenols were synthesized and mass spectrometry analysis of their composition was carried out. It was established that the synthesis yields a series of fullerenols Gd@C82Ox(OH)y (x = 0, 3; y = 8, 16, 24, 36, 44). The atomic and electronic structure and properties of the synthesized fullerenols were investigated using the density functional theory calculations. It was shown that the presence of endohedral gadolinium increases the reactivity of fullerenols. It is proposed that the high-spin endohedral fullerenols are promising candidates for application in magnetic resonance imaging.
