ABSTRACTUsing the density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent DFT, within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), the electronic and optical properties of stoichiometric (ZnS)n nanoparticles (NP) were calculated. The dependence of the gap on the size (n) of the nanoparticle will be presented. The effect of replacing S atoms with P, Se or Te atoms in the (ZnS)n nanoparticles and its influence in the gap will be also shown.

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.

AbstractA combined experimental and computational study of the dinuclear rhenium(V) complex containing (ReO)2(µ-O) core is presented in this article. The solid-state [Re2Cl4(O)2(µ-O)(3,5-lut)4] (3,5-lut = 3,5-dimethylpyridine) complex was characterised structurally (by single crystal X-ray diffraction) and spectroscopically (by IR, NMR, UV-VIS). The electronic structure was examined using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The spin-allowed electronic transitions were calculated using the time-dependent DFT method, and the UV-VIS spectrum was discussed.

Present work is based on the density functional theory (DFT) and generalized gradient approximation studies. Different adsorption geometries of dopamine, C 8 H 11 O 2 N , on the anatase (101) surface have been considered and carefully investigated. Bidentate chelating configuration with two molecular oxygens binding to the same surface titanium has been found to be the equilibrium case. The Ti – O distances for this configuration are obtained to be equal to 2.23 and 2.37 Å, respectively.

The electronic structure, effective mass, optical properties and electrical transport coefficients of APdCu(Se2)(Se3) (where A = K and Rb), a new quaternary copper palladium polyselenide, were investigated using a density functional theory calculation within a generalized gradient approximation (GGA) plus the Hubbard term (U) (GGA + U).

The geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of Ho-doped Sin (n=1-12, 16, and 18) clusters are studied via the density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. The results show that the Ho atom in the most stable HoSin clusters always occupies the surface site. Starting from n=18, the Ho atom abruptly drops into the center of Si frame, forming the Ho-encapsulated Si cages. The stabilities of HoSin clusters increase with increasing size n. The Ho atom in HoSin clusters enhances their chemical activities. Moreover, the magnetisms of HoSin clusters are independent of their geometric structures, and the Si and Ho atoms are antiferromagnetic.
