In this work, a theoretical study of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties are presented for Mn 0.5 Ni 0.5 alloyed overlayer adsorbed on Cu (001) surface. The calculations were performed using the density functional theory (DFT) and the exchange-correlation potential was treated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The system was fully relaxed except for the central layer, which yields to outward relaxations and inward Mn and Ni surface atoms, respectively in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic configurations. The in-plane ferromagnetic configuration was found to be more stable than the antiferromagnetic one by 25 meV/atom. The local magnetic moments of Mn atoms were found to be about 4 μ B , whereas those of the Ni atoms where found to be 0.46 μ B .

The Density Functional Theory

The present work aims to investigate the structural parameters and the piezoelectric coefficients of cubic zinc-blende Aluminum phosphide (AlP) under high pressure up to 21 GPa, using plane wave-pseudopotential (PW-PP) approach in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) and the density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation functional. The results obtained are analyzed and compared with other data of the literature. The structural parameters and the piezoelectric coefficients calculated here agree well with other data of the literature. We found also that both the direct and converse piezoelectric coefficients increase with increasing pressure up to 21 GPa.

Sb Doping

In the present work, we report the structural and the electronic properties of the alloy [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Ab initio calculations are based upon the density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation and Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange–correlation functional. In our calculations, we found that antimony (Sb) doping in zinc telluride (ZnTe) system introduces some bands which mainly originate from [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-states of Te and Sb atom and are primarily responsible for [Formula: see text]-type and [Formula: see text]-type conductivity.

The Density Functional Theory

The radioactive decay of Pu produces He atom, which may form cluster with vacancies or accumulate into He bubble, thus resulting in physical, chemical and mechanical changes. In this paper first principle evaluations of Pu lattice defected with mono-vacancy (or di-vacancy) and He atoms have been performed using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the density functional theory and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functional. The simulation results indicate that the density of states (DOSs) of Pu lattices seem stable when He/V (V represents vacancy) ratio is between 2:1-3:1, the partial DOSs of s, d and f states shift in the orientation of positive X axis, while f state peaks disappear around the Fermi level. Total energy per Pu atom in Pu lattice with mono-vacancy (or di-vacancy) and He atoms relative to total energy per Pu atom in perfect fcc Pu lattice nearly remains constant (about 8.18a.u.).

By using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) scheme within the density functional theory (DFT), the electronic and magnetic properties of Hg2CuTi-type Heusler alloy Ti2FeAl were investigated. The results reveal that a 100% spin polarization appears at Fermi level (εF) in Ti2FeAl, and is maintained during lattice range of 5.1Å~6.2Å. Ti2FeAl is one of stable Half-Metallic Ferromagnets (HMF) with a spin-minority gap of 0.5 eV at εF and total magnetic moment of 1μB per unit cell. Our studies also indicate that the competition between RKKY-type indirect exchange and direct hybridization of d-electronic atoms plays a dominating role in determining the magnetism.

First-principles calculations of the electronic structure are performed for cubic BaTbO3 using the plane-wave pseudopotential method within the framework of density functional theory and using the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation potential. Our calculations show that cubic BaTbO3 is metallic, and that this metallic character is mainly governed by the Tb 4f electrons and the hybridization between the Tb 5d and O 2p states. From the analysis of the density of states, band structure, and charge density contour, we find that the chemical bonding between Tb and O is covalent while that between Ba and TbO3 is ionic.

Definition Of

The dipole polarizabilities (α) and polarizability anisotropies (Δα) of over 20 molecules are calculated to search for negative Δα. The geometry of each molecule is first optimized at the level of CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ. Then, the α tensors are computed both with CCSD(T)/daug-cc-pVTZ in Gaussian 09 and with the exchange-correlation potential Vxc known as SAOP in the Amsterdam density functional theory program called ADF and a large basis set called QZ3P-3DIFFUSE. In addition to the popular formula of the ΔαRaman connected with Raman spectroscopy, we also present values of an alternative definition of the polarizability anisotropy ΔαKerr connected with Kerr spectroscopy, recently proposed by Kampfrath and colleagues (2018. Chem. Phys. Lett. 692: 319). On one hand, the signs of many ΔαRaman are undetermined; on the other hand, we obtain negative ΔαKerr for more than one-half of the small molecules studied. Of the 24 molecules studied, 18 have negative ΔαKerr.
