Density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and time-dependent density functional perturbation theory (TDDFPT) calculations were employed to study the molecular and electronic structures, linear and nonlinear optical properties, optical phonon modes and vibrational properties of the interaction of poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK)–small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) composites. Our calculations show that the chemical connection between PVK and SWCNTs is only through the relatively weak [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]–H bonds. PVK and SWCNTs have different electron accepting abilities and we believe this is the major factor responsible for the charge transfer processes we observe in the calculations. We notice an increase in polarizability value from 152 a.u. (PVK) to 517 a.u. (PVK–SWCNTs), making the PVK–SWCNT composite an ideal model for applications such as mechanical and optoelectronics. Also, the result of our calculations under the time-dependent density functional perturbation theory hinges on the idea that the large value of the polarizability calculated for our composite model is an attribute which can be inferred to processes of charge transfer. Our finding corroborates the fact that non-covalent functionalization is one of the effective chemical methods by which the nonlinear optical response properties of PVK–SWCNT composite may be enhanced.

The elastic properties and mechanical stability of zirconium alloys and zirconium hydrides have been investigated within the framework of density functional perturbation theory. Results show that the lowest-energy Pn3̄m δ-ZrH1.5 phase is not mechanically stable.

In this work, we present first-principles density functional studies of the dynamical properties of three nanoheterostructure interfaces of poly(9-vinylcarbazole)/fullerene (PVK/C60): PVK/C60(α), PVK/C60(β), and PVK/C60(γ). Linear response within density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), as implemented in the Quantum Espresso code, has been employed to explore the nature of permittivity, Born effective charges, polarizabilities, and vibrational frequency modes. The vibrational frequencies for the three nanoheterostructure interfaces were computed and their modes assigned. The phonon modes were also classified, and we showed that some important frequency modes are associated with C-C, CH2, and C−N stretching modes, among others. In addition, computed values of polarizability and permittivity for the nanoheterostructures were seen to have comparable values to that of literature for conjugated polymers. Conspicuous differing characteristics were noticed in the computed infrared and Raman absorption spectra for the three nanoheterostructures, which was due to the structural differences arising from their different stacking patterns. It is noted that the presence of the nitrogen atom plays a significant role in determining their dynamical lattice properties. The permittivity and polarizability tensors of PVK/C60(α), PVK/C60(β), and PVK/C60(γ) nanoheterostructures were found to be strongly anisotropic.
