AbstractTransition metals of the platinum group (Os, Ir, Pt, Ru, Re, Rh) do not form carbides and nitrides at ambient pressure. Osmium carbide seems to have been synthesized at zero pressure by Kempter and Nadler forty six years ago. According to the authors, OsC crystallizes in WC-type structure and has a hardness equal to 2000 kg mm-2. Up to date, no other experimental confirmation is available. We studied the electronic and mechanical properties of this hypothetical carbide using an approach based on the density-functional theory. We found that the work of the above mentioned authors is sound. The calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with that given by those authors and a rough estimate also showed that the hardness given by them is reasonable. However, we found that the hexagonal structure of osmium carbide is electronically and mechanically unstable.

In this paper, we theoretically studied the geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of bridged bithiophene S-oxide (BTO-X) derivates (with X = BH2, SiH2, S, S=O, and O) by using semi-empirical methods, ab-initio, and Density functional theory. The geometries and thermodynamic parameters calculated by PM3 were in good agreement with that of B3LYP/6-31G(d). The bandgap calculated by B3LYP/6-31G(d) ranged from 3.94eV (BTO-O)-3.16eV (BTO-BH2). The absorption λmax calculated suing B3LYP/6-31G(d) shifted to longer wavelength with X=BH2, SiH2, and S=O due to enhancement of π-conjugated system whereas, BTO-S and BTO-O shifted to shorter wavelengths as compared to dimmer thiophene S-oxide (2TO).

The structural and magnetic properties of Mn-based stoichiometric Heusler alloys have investigated by means of ab initio calculations in framework of the density functional theory. First principles electronic structure calculations have shown that Mn2NiZ (Z = Ga, In, Sn, Sb) alloys are ferrimagnets with antiparallel alignment between the Mn atoms. The martensitic transition can be realized in Mn2NiGa and Mn2NiSn alloys with tetragonal ratio of 1.27 and 1.16, respectively. Calculated properties are in a good agreement with available experimental data.

AbstractThe geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its 5,7-dichloro, 5,7-dibromo, 5,7-diiodo and 5,7-dinitro derivatives were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with Becke3-Lee-Parr (B3LYP) functional and 6-31G* basis set. The effects of chloride, bromide, iodide and nitro substituent on the vibrational frequencies of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been investigated. The assignments have been proposed with aid of the results of normal coordinate analysis. The observed and calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement.

In this paper we discuss possible mechanisms of PV annealing in Si. Our approach includes a combination of density functional theory and lattice kinetic Monte-Carlo (LKMC) simulations. The density functional theory is used to find the binding energies and jump barriers for P-V pair at different separations (from one to three interatomic bonds between complex constituents) and in different charge states. The mobility of the complex is simulated by LKMC with event probabilities calculated based on the energies from ab-initio calculations. .

And Performance

The relation between thermodynamically stable and electronic structure preparation is one of the fundamental questions in physics, geophysics and chemistry. Since the discovery of the novel structure, this has remained as one of the main questions regarding the very foundation of elemental metals. Needless to say this has also bearings on extreme conditions physics, where again the relation between structure and performance is of direct interest. Crystal structures have been mainly at ambient conditions, i.e. at room temperature and ambient pressure. Nevertheless it was realized early that there is also a fundamental relation between volume and structure, and that this dependence could be most fruitfully studied by means of high pressure experimental techniques. From a theoretical point of view this is an ideal type of experiment, since only the volume is changed, which is a very clean variation of the external conditions. Therefore, at least in principle, the theoretical approach remains the same irrespective of the high pressure loading of the experimental sample. Theoretical modeling is needed to explain the measured data on the pressure volume relationships in crystal structures. Among those physical properties manifested itself under high pressure, superconductivity has emerged as a prominent property affected by pressure. Several candidate structure of materials are explored by ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS). This has been carried out in combination with density functional theory (DFT). The remarkable solution of AIRSS is possible to expect a superconductivity under high pressure. This chapter provide a systematically review of the structural prediction and superconductivity in elemental metals, i.e. lithium, strontium, scandium, arsenic.

We performed ab initio numerical simulations with the density functional theory to investigate the variations in the band structure, optical absorption, and the reflectivity of vacancy-graphene doped with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine for different densities. We considered the density values 0.78%, 1.02%, 1.39%, 2.00%, 3.12%, 5.55%, and 12.5% for the vacancies and doping. In the infrared and visible ranges for all cases, vacancies included, there is a substantial increment in the absorption and reflectivity concerning graphene. The most significant changes are for fluorine and oxygen at a concentration of 12.5%.

Abstract We report an ab-initio study of the preferred polarity for wurtzite GaN nanostructures on virtual graphene substrates. By means of the density functional theory analysis we show that N-polar nanostructures on graphene are energetically favorable in comparison to Ga-polar. These finding are in agreement with experimentally observed N-polarity of wurtzite GaN nanowires grown on graphene substrate. We believe that the revealed polarity preference is of importance for piezoelectric and optoelectronic device design.

Abstrak Peristiwa adsorpsi atom Hidrogen pada Grafena menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan struktur Grafena. Perubahan ini mempengaruhi keadaan densitas muatan Grafena. Pada simulasi ini posisi atom Hidrogen pada permukaan lembaran Grafena divariasikan, yaitu pada posisi tepat di atas atom Karbon (Top), posisi di tengah antara dua atom Karbon (Bridge), dan posisi pusat struktur heksagonal (Hollow). Simulasi dilakukan dengan metode Teori Fungsi Kerapatan dengan model Grafena ukuran 2x2. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan adsorpsi atom Hidrogen memilih posisi Top sebagai yang paling stabil dibandingkan dengan posisi Bridge dan Hollow. Hasil dari posisi Top menunjukkan elektron dari atom Hidrogen digunakan mengikat Grafena dengan energi ikat sebesar -1.7 eV. Perubahan densitas muatan menunjukkan terjadinya perpindahan elektron menuju Grafena disertai transformasi isosurface yang unik untuk setiap posisi atom Hidrogen dengan perubahan terbesar terjadi pada posisi Top.  Kata kunci: Densitas muatan, Grafena, Adsorpsi, Teori Fungsi Kerapatan  Abstract [Title: The Simulation of Charge Density Diffrential for Hydrogen Atom - Graphene Adsorption with Density Functional Theory] Hydrogen atom adsorption on Graphene cause structural changes. This change affect Graphene charge density. In this simulation the position of Hydrogen atom on the surface of Graphene sheet are varied out, which is on the position directly above the Carbon atom (Top), the position on the middle between two Carbon atoms (Bridge), and the center position of the hexagonal structure (Hollow). The simulation is done by the Density Functional Theory method with a 2x2 size Graphene model. The results obtained showed that Hydrogen atom adsorption chose the Top position as the most balanced compared with the position of Bridge and Hollow. The results from the Top position indicate that electrons from Hydrogen atom are used to bind the Graphene with binding energy of -1.7 eV. The charge density differential indicate the occurrence of electron transfer towards Graphene accompanied by a transformation of the isosurface that are unique for each Hydrogen atom positions with the biggest change is shown in the Top position.  Keywords: Charge Density, Graphene, Adsorption, Density Functional Theory
