The structural and electronic properties of potential one dimensional (1D) superconductor — K x C 60 chain encapsulated inside a single-walled carbon nanotube is studied using first principles calculations. The stoichiometry of K to C 60 of the 1D K x C 60 crystal can reach 9, in contrast to a maximal stoichiometry of 6 found in the K doped bulk fullerides. The K 4s electrons are completely ionized, and fill chiefly the C 60-derived bands in a nonrigid way. The density of states at the Fermi level of the encapsulated 1D K x C 60 crystal is comparable to that in K doped bulk fullerides.

Based on first-principles calculations, we have investigated atomic and electronic structures of 4H-SiC crystal doped by N, P and As elements as n-type dopants. We have obtained the bond lengths of the optimization system, as well as the impurity levels, the band structure and the density of states. The results show that the higher impurity level above the Fermi level is observed when 4H-SiC doped by N with concentration as 6.25% in these dopants, and the band gap of 4H-SiC decreases while the doping concentration or the atomic number of dopant increases.

First-principles calculations based on the DFT approximated by GGA-PBEsol scheme has been utilized to predict the structural and electronic properties of Li2MnP2O7and possible delithiated Li2-xMnP2O7(x=1,2) configurations. Our results show that the approximation provided more reasonable predictions on the structural consistent with experiments. The calculated voltage profile underestimate the experimentally observed redox potential. Density of States (DOS) results reveals the insulator behavior of Li2MnP2O7.
