ABSTRACTUsing density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation, we have investigated the structure, energetics, bonding, and diffusion behavior of Si interstitials and boron-interstitial pairs at the Si/SiO2 interface. We find that interstitials are significantly stabilized at the Si/SiO2 interface and prefer to reside on the SiO2 side rather than the Si side. Due to the interstitial stabilization, boron-interstitial pairs are likely to be easily dissociated in the vicinity of the Si/SiO2 interface. This study provides valuable insight into interstitial annihilation and boron precipitation at the interface.

Copper(II) benzoates ([Formula: see text]OBA-Cu) with various terminal alkoxy carbon numbers, [Formula: see text]–12, were prepared from [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]-alkoxy benzoic acids (nOBAs). Fourier transform infrared (IR) experiments suggested that dimerization through copper(II) chelating bidentate coordination created [Formula: see text]OBA-Cu with a linear rod-like structure, similar to the hydrogen-bonded structure of its parent [Formula: see text]OBA. However, the coordination structure of [Formula: see text]OBA-Cu changed during heating. Periodic density functional theory calculations provided valuable insight into the possible arrangement of the parent and copper(II)-coordinated [Formula: see text]OBAs. The formation of binuclear complexes between two adjacent [Formula: see text]OBA-Cu dimers forced [Formula: see text]OBA-Cu to arrange itself in a layer and exhibit smectic A mesophase. Accordingly, four types of IR stretching absorption of benzoyl carbonyl were observed in binuclear [Formula: see text]OBA-Cu complexes, replacing the original symmetric and asymmetric vibrations of benzoyl carboxylate in chelating bidentate coordination. The lateral association by [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] interactions between adjacent parent [Formula: see text]OBA dimers preferred a progressive smectic C arrangement. The origin of the odd–even effect was understood from the consideration of the molecular structure.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we have studied the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the cubic perovskite system Mn4N using the first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The obtained data from DFT calculations are used as input data in Monte Carlo simulation with a mixed spin-5/2 and 1 Ising model to calculate the magnetic properties of this compound, such as the total, partial thermal magnetization, and the critical temperatures (TC). The obtained results show that Mn4N has a ferrimagnetic structure with two different sites of Mn in the lattice and presents a metallic behavior. The obtained TC is in good agreement with experimental results.

Density-functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the thermodynamic and ground-state properties of bulk uranium tri-iodide, UI3. The theory is fully relativistic and electron correlations, beyond the DFT and generalized gradient approximation, are addressed with orbital polarization. The electronic structure indicates anti-ferromagnetism, in agreement with neutron diffraction, with band gaps and a non-metallic system. Furthermore, the formation energy, atomic volume, crystal structure, and heat capacity are calculated in reasonable agreement with experiments, whereas for the elastic constants experimental data are unavailable for comparison. The thermodynamical properties are modeled within a quasi-harmonic approximation and the heat capacity and Gibbs free energy as functions of temperature agree with available calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) thermodynamic assessment of the experimental data.

Adsorption Energies

Density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) has been used to investigate possible adsorption configurations of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) molecule on the chromium oxide ([Formula: see text]-Cr2O[Formula: see text] (0001) surface. Two configurations are found to lead to the molecular adsorption with corresponding adsorption energies being equal to [Formula: see text]0.16 and [Formula: see text]0.48[Formula: see text]eV, respectively. Our work describes in detail atomic displacements for both crystalline surface and adsorbate as well as discusses electronic and magnetic properties of the system. The most favorable adsorption case is found when the chemical bond between one of the molecular oxygens and one of the surface Cr atoms has been formed.
