Based on density functional theory, this paper studies the adsorption and the subsurface occupation by H on LaFeO3 (010) surface and their corresponding transition states. As shown from the results, the best storage positions of hydrogen are on the O top position of the LaFeO3 (010) surface and the interstice near the oxygen of the subsurface. In addition, the position of surface Fe atom can also store hydrogen, but H atom prefers to adsorb on O atom first. Whether the H atom is adsorbed on O or Fe atom, it is easy diffuse to the nearby more stable O atom. However, the diffusion between the Fe atoms is difficult to occur. The main diffusion path of the H atom from the surface to the subsurface is the process of inward layer by layer around the O atom. With the fracture of the old H–O bond and the formation of the new H–O bond, the H is around O atom to constantly repeat the process of a hopping-rotational diffusion. H diffuses through the nearest neighbor position, which is more favorable than the direct diffusion.

The acetylation mechanisms of several selected typical substrates from experiments, including arylamines and arylhydrazines, are investigated with the density functional theory in this paper. The results indicate that all the transition states are characterized by a four-membered ring structure, and hydralazine (HDZ) is the most potent substrate. The bioactivity for all the compounds is increased in a sequence ofPABA≈4-AS<4-MA<5-AS≈INH<HDZ. The conjunction effect and the delocalization of the lone pairs of N atom play a key role in the reaction. All the results are consistent with the experimental data.

The transition states for the H 2 NO decomposition and rearrangements mechanisms have been explored by the CBS-Q method or by density functional theory. Six transition states were located on the potential energy surface, which were explored with the Quadratic Complete Basis Set (CBS-Q) and Becke's one-parameter density functional hybrid methods. Interesting deviations between the CBS-Q results and the B1LYP density functional theory lead us to believe that further study into this system is necessary. In the efforts to further assess the stabilities of the transition states, bond order calculations were performed to measure the strength of the bonds in the transition state.

AbstractWe studied oxygen migration in calcia-stabilized cubic zirconia (CSZ) using density functional theory. A Ca atom was substituted for a Zr atom in a 2×2×2 ZrO2 cubic supercell, and an oxygen vacancy was produced to satisfy the charge neutrality condition. We found that the formation energies of an oxygen vacancy, as a function of its location with respect to the Ca atom, were varied. The relative formation energies of the oxygen vacancies located at the first-, second-, third-, and fourth-nearest-neighbors were 0.0, −0.07, 0.19, and 0.19 eV, respectively. Therefore, the oxygen vacancy located at the second-nearest-neighbor site of the Ca atom was the most favorable, the oxygen vacancy located at the first-nearest-neighbor site was the second most favorable, and the oxygen vacancies at the third- and fourth-nearest-neighbor sites were the least favorable. We also calculated the energy barriers for the oxygen vacancy migration between oxygen sites. The energy barriers between the first and the second nearest sites, the second and third nearest sites, and the third and fourth nearest sites were 0.11, 0.46, and 0.23 eV, respectively. Therefore, the oxygen vacancies favored the first- and second-nearest-neighbor oxygen sites when they drifted under an electric field.

Been studying the interactions between graphene - like aluminium nitride P(AlN)21 nano ribbons doped and defect (AlN)21Sheet, Molecules and small toxic gas molecules ( H2S), were built for two different adsorption sites on graphene like aluminium nitride P(AlN)21. this was done by employing B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) with 6-31G*(d,p) using Gaussian 09 program, Gaussian viw5.0 package of programs and Nanotube Modeller program 2018. the adsorptions of H2S on P(AlN)21, (C) atoms-doped P(AL-N)20 sheet, D-P(AL-N)20 and D-(C)atoms-doped P(AL-N)19 (on atom) with (Ead) (-0.468eV),(-0.473 eV), (-0.457 eV), (-0.4478 eV) and (-0.454 eV), respectively, (Ead) of H2S on the center ring of the P(AL-N)21, (C) atoms-doped P(AL-N)20 sheet, D-P(AL-N)20 and D-(C,B)atoms-doped P(AL-N)19 sheet are (-0.280 eV),(-0.465 eV), (-0.405 eV), (-0.468 eV) and -0.282 eV), respectively, are weak physisorption . However, the adsorptions of H2S, on the ((AlN)20 -B and D- (AlN)19 -B), (on atom N and center ring the sheet) are a strong chemisorption because of the (Ead) larger than -0.5 eV, due to the strong interaction, the ((AlN)20-B and D-(AlN)19-B), could catalyst or activate, through the results that we obtained, which are the improvement of the sheet P(AlN)21 by doping and per forming a defect in, it that can be used to design sensors.

We report routes towards synthesis of novel [Formula: see text]-conjugated freebase cobalt, copper, gallium and manganese meso-alkynylcorroles. UV-vis spectra show that extensive peak broadening, red shifts, and changes in the oscillator strength of absorptions increase with the extension of [Formula: see text]-conjugation. Using density functional theory (DFT), we have carried out a first theoretical study of the electronic structure of these metallocorroles. Decreased energy gaps of about 0.3–0.4 eV between the HOMO and LUMO orbitals compared to the corresponding copper, gallium and manganese meso-5,10,15 triphenylcorrole are observed. In all cases, the HOMO energies are nearly unperturbed as the [Formula: see text]-conjugation is expanded. The contraction of the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps is attributed to the lowered LUMO energies.
