Fullerene Clusters

The recent development in understanding the structures, relative stability, and electronic properties of large fullerenes is reviewed. We describe an efficient scheme to generate the ground-state networks for fullerene clusters. Combining this scheme with quantum-mechanical total-energy calculations, the ground-state structures of fullerenes ranging from C 20 to C 100 have been studied. Fullerenes of sizes 60, 70, and 84 are found to be energetically more stable than their neighbors. In addition to the energies, the fragmentation stability and the chemical reactivity of the clusters are shown to be important in determining the abundance of fullerene isomers.

The structure stability and electronic properties of CumConCO ([Formula: see text]–7) clusters have been systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The results indicate that the ground state structures of CumConCO clusters obtained by adsorbing CO molecules on the top sites of stable CumConclusters with C atoms and CO molecules have been activated during adsorption process. Cu2CO, CuCoCO, Cu3CoCO, Co4CO, Cu4CoCO and Cu3Co3CO clusters are stronger than other ground state clusters in thermodynamic stability. Cu2CO, Cu4CO and Cu6CO clusters show stronger chemical stability; Co2CO, Co4CO, Cu5CoCO, Cu3Co3CO, Cu2Co5CO and Co7CO clusters show better propensity to adsorb CO for these clusters have larger adsorption energies; Electronic states of Cu2Co3CO, CuCo4CO, Co5CO, Cu4Co3CO, Cu3Co4CO, CuCo6CO and Co7CO clusters are mainly influenced by those of 3d orbitals in Co and Cu atoms, the contribution to total magnetic moments of these clusters comes mainly from Co atoms and these clusters have high magnetism.

By using Density Functional Theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP/6-311G level, the structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of cationic Be2Mg+ n (n = 1–11) clusters have been systematically studied. The optimized geometry show that the ground state structures of cationic Be2Mg+ n (n = 1–11) clusters favor 3D structures except n = 1, 2. Furthermore, the average binding energy E b, the second-order energy differences Δ2E, the fragmentation energy Ef and the HOMO-LUMO energy Egap of the ground state of cationic Be2Mg– n (n = 1–11) clusters are calculated, the final results indicate that Be2Mg+6 and Be2Mg+9 clusters have a higher stability than other clusters. Additionally, the NCP, NEC and Mulliken population analysis reveal that the charges in cationic Be2Mg+ n (n = 1–11) clusters transfer from Mg atom to Be atoms, and strong sp hybridizations are presented in Be atoms of Be2Mg+ n clusters. Finally, the polarizability analysis indicates that the nuclei and electronic clouds of clusters are affected by external field with the increase of cluster size.

Geometric structure of Osn(n=2-10) clusters are optimized by using Density functional theory (DFT) in DMOL3 package. For the ground-state structure, relative stability are analyzed. The results show that: the ground-state structures of the cluster are plane structure when n=2-4, but the ground-state structures are stereostructure when n≥5. There exhibits the odd-even oscillation effect in stability and Os8cluster has the highest stability.

Density Of Electrons

Characterization of materials infer for physical and chemical properties that depend on its molecular structure. Structure of molecule has its dependence on respective electrons of molecule under consideration occupying their positions that correspond to changes in density of electrons. Many theories of its kind were developed to study density of electrons with roots from wavefunction method and electron density method. Wavefunction method has its dependence with linear combination of atomic orbitals, Born approximation, variational principle ,potential energy surfaces for development of Huckel theory, Hartree fock self-consistent theory. Electron density method includes Ab-intio method and density functional theory is possible with Kohenberbg-Kohn existence theorem and Kohn Sham formalism. Density functional studies has diverted attention of researches for properties dependent on structure with use of quantum mechanical descriptors that influence chemical reactivity of molecule forming complexes with properties responsible for electrooptical activity. In the present work complexes with p-anisaldehyde were studied with set of anilines using Gaussian 16 package with B3LYP method. Studies in present work were analyzed from computed infrared spectra responsible for formation of complexes with shifts in wavenumbers; quantum mechanical descriptors for electronic properties. A feature of study is that complexes with p-nitroaniline have greater tendency influence on electronic properties responsible for electrooptical activity due to electrophilic nature.

In this paper, the structure and magnetic properties of WnH2 (n = 7–12) clusters have been systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The result indicates that the ground state structures of WnH2 clusters are generated when H2 dissociative adsorbed on the atop site of Wn clusters. W8H2 and W[Formula: see text]H2 clusters are found to be more stable than other clusters. The adsorption abilities of Wn clusters are related to W–H bond length, adsorption energy and the charge transfer between H and W clusters as well as the electronic density of state.

Abstract In this work, the super-cells were used for quantum mechanical calculations of the mixing enthalpia of the BCC phase of the Fe-V system for the ground state. The values of total energy were calculated using 16 -th and 54- atomic super-cells for both clean components and alloys. The mixing enthalpy (ΔH) for the BCC phase was calculated on four 16- and 54- atomic super-cells in the vicinity of pure components, on the basis of which the dependence of the concentration ΔH for BCC alloys in the ferromagnetic state of the Fe-V system of the ground state was built.
