The adsorption of CH4onto the surfaces of perovskite-type catalysts ABO3( A=La, Ba; B=Zr, Co, Ce) was investigated by a density functional theory based on the first-principles in this paper. The absorption mechanism was derived by population and electronic states analysis on the basis of the electronic and surface structure calculations. For A=Ba and B=Zr, the frontier energy state was found to the key factor in controlling the adsorption behavior of CH4absorbed on (001) surfaces, which is mainly contributed by oxygen and B-site ions. The most favorite adsorption site for CH4was located at B-sites of perovskite catalysts ABO3, where the A-site ions adjust the charge of B-site ions and moreover affect the CH4adsorption.

Simulation Cell

In the previous chapters we described the basic principles of density functional theory, gave examples of how accurate it is to describe static magnetic properties in general, and derived from this basis the master equation for atomistic spin-dynamics; the SLL (or SLLG) equation. However, one term was not described in these chapters, namely the damping parameter. This parameter is a crucial one in the SLL (or SLLG) equation, since it allows for energy and angular momentum to dissipate from the simulation cell. The damping parameter can be evaluated from density functional theory, and the Kohn-Sham equation, and it is possible to determine its value experimentally. This chapter covers in detail the theoretical aspects of how to calculate theoretically the damping parameter. Chapter 8 is focused, among other things, on the experimental detection of the damping, using ferromagnetic resonance.

Heteroatom Substitution

The heterofullerenes C59X (X = B, N, Al, Si, P, Ga, Ge, and As) were investigated by quantum chemistry calculations based on density functional theory. These hybrid cages can be seen as doping the buckminsterfullerene by heteroatom substitution. The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic properties, vibrational frequencies, dielectric constants, and aromaticities of the doped cages were studied systemically and compared with those of the pristine C60cage. It is found that the doped cages with different heteroatoms exhibit various electronic, vibrational, and aromatic properties. These results imply the possibility to modulate the physical properties of these fullerene-based materials by tuning substitution elements.
