The phase stability, mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of In-Zr compounds have been explored using the first-principles calculation based on density functional theory (DFT). The calculated formation enthalpies show that these compounds are all thermodynamically stable. Information on electronic structure indicates that they possess metallic characteristics and there is a common hybridization between In-p and Zr-d states near the Fermi level. Elastic properties have been taken into consideration. The calculated results on the ratio of the bulk to shear modulus (B/G) validate that InZr3has the strongest deformation resistance. The increase of indium content results in the breakout of a linear decrease of the bulk modulus and Young’s modulus. The calculated theoretical hardness ofα-In3Zr is higher than the other In-Zr compounds.

We use the first-principles calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the hydrogen storage of Li decorated coronene graphene. Our result indicates that single Li atom can adsorb three H2 molecules and the adsorption energy per H2 is −0.224 eV. When four Li atoms doped, the largest hydrogen gravimetric density is 6.82 wt.% and this is higher than the 2017 target by the US department of energy (DOE). Meanwhile, the adsorption energy per H2 is −0.220 eV, which is suitable for H2 molecules to store. Therefore, Li decorated coronene graphene will be a candidate for hydrogen storage materials in the future.

Abstract Using the first-principles calculation based on density functional theory (DFT), we systematically studied the adsorption of sulfur-based gas molecules (H2S, SO2, SO3) on various metal-decorated phosphorenes. To avoid the formation of metal clusters on the surface of phosphorene, eleven metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ni, La, Tl) with bulk cohesive energy less than the binding energy on the phosphorene are considered. Except for H2S on Tl-decorated phosphorene, all metal decorations can improve the adsorption strength of phosphorene to sulfur-based gas molecules, and Eads(H2S) < Eads(SO2) < Eads(SO3) for the same metal decoration case. In addition, some metal-decorated phosphorene systems exhibit interesting magnetic and electrical changes after sulfur-based gas molecule adsorptions, indicating that these metal-decorated phosphorene systems are promising to be used for the detection and removal of sulfur-based gas molecules.

Computation of highly-localized multiplet energy levels of transition metal dopants is essential to the design of materials such as laser host crystals. A purely first-principles density functional theory-configuration interaction (DFT-CI) hybrid computational method has been developed to accurately compute multiplet energy levels for single atoms of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, aluminum, silicon, titanium, and chromium. The multiplet energy levels have been computed with close experimental agreement in terms of magnitude and degeneracy, and the method does not depend on empirical information (i.e. Racah parameters). The computed multiplet energy level results are distributed according to term symbols, which are then compared to experimentally-observed multiplet energy levels. The hybrid method consists of analytic computation of two-electron integrals via the DFT-based orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals (OLCAO) method, which are subsequently used as input for the CI-based discrete variational multi-electron (DVME) method to obtain the multiplet energy values.Keywords: exchange-correlation; elecron repulsion integral; multiplet; DVME; OLCAO; density functional theory; configuration interaction
