The nano-sized quasi-one dimensional hollow cores of carbon nanotubes make it possible for them to be filled with and wetted by foreign materials. With C, S and Se atoms as example, we have studied the filling and wetting of these atoms into carbon nanotubes from local density functional theory in first principles calculations. The results suggest that the effect of nanotube length is negligible when it exceeds 3.6 Å, there is a relation between nanotube diameter and filling and wetting. Our studies would be important implications for the further use of carbon nanotubes.

Structural and elastic properties as well as lattice dynamics of ternary MgS x Se 1-x alloy have been studied using first-principles calculations. These are done using density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) within the local density approximation (LDA) and employing the virtual-crystal approximation (VCA). We found that the lattice parameter, the elastic constants and the phonon frequencies follow a quadratic law in x.

ABSTRACTAn atomistic modelling based on density functional theory within the framework of the local density approximation is used to show the trends in the energetic properties of single and double defects in CdTe semiconductor, without phase transformation. A systematic study of vacancies, Mn substituting Cd atoms in a supercell structure consisting of 16-atoms is presented. The changes of structural properties and lattice parameters due to the addition of Mn-atomic type defects in CdTe matrix are compared, and the number of vacancies is also determined from the total energy calculations.

The structural stability of MgCe under high pressures has been investigated by using the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory within the local density approximation (LDA). The obtained results predict that MgCe in the Ba structure is predicted to be the most stable structure corresponding to the ground state, because of lowest total energy. MgCe undergoes a pressure-induced phase transition from the Ba structure to B32 structure at 36 GPa. And no further transition is found up to 120 GPa. In addition, the electronic structures of four structures of MgCe are also calculated and discussed.

Abstract The electronic, optical and vibrational properties of B3N3H6 have been calculated by means of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the local density approximation (LDA). The calculated structural parameters of B3N3H6 are in good agreement with experimental work. With the band structure and density of states (DOS), we have analyzed the optical properties including the complex dielectric function, refractive index, absorption, conductivity, loss function and reflectivity. By the contrast, it is found that on the (001) component and (100) component have obvious optical anisotropy. Moreover, the vibrational properties have been obtained and analyzed.

Ta2O5 is a wide-bandgap semiconductor that offers interesting applications in microwavecommunications, mainly related to the manufacture of filters and resonators whosesize is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the material. For that reason, inthis work we present a theoretical study, based on density functional theory (using PBEsoland hybrid HSE06 exchange-correlation functionals), of the electronic and dielectricproperties of the orthorhombic model -Ta2O5. We found that this model has a direct gap of2.09 and 3.7 eV with PBEsol and HSE06, respectively. Furthermore, the calculated staticdielectric constant, 51, is in good agreement with the reported values of other phases of thissemiconductor.

Two Phases

The present study deals with first-principles calculations of the thermal properties of ZnTe in the two phases namely, zinc-blende and wurtzite. The calculations are mainly performed using the density functional theory with the local density approximation and response-function calculations. The full phonon dispersions throughout the Brillouin zone are presented. The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters, bulk modulus, entropy and heat capacity are examined and discussed. Our findings agree reasonably well with those available in the literature.

ABSTRACTWe report the electronic and structural properties of silicon doped carbon nanotubes using first principles calculations based on the density-functional theory. In the doped metallic nanotube a resonant state appears about 0.7 eV above the Fermi level and for the semiconductor tube the Si introduces an empty level at approximately 0.6 eV above the top of the valence band.
