Ca3Ru2O7 is new tpye of thermoelectric materials.A theoretical study is presented for the stability, electronic and magnetic properties of three phases of this new thermoelectric materials in the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The calculated cohesive energy is -7.94eV/unit. AFM2 are less stable than other pahses. Electronic calculations indicate that Ca3Ru2O7 is metallic in nature. The covalent bonds in these structures are due to orbital overlap between p bands of O and d bands of Ru, and DOS at Fermi level are dominated by d bands of Ru. FM phase have obvious magnetic moments.

The lowest-energy geometric and isomers of freestanding Co n clusters (n = 2 - 10) and their corresponding magnetic moments have been studied using the Siesta code based on pseudopotential density-functional theory. The calculated results show that there are many isomers near the ground state. Different isomers hold different magnetic moment. The stability study shows that among the investigated clusters, the hexamer one is the most stable and is the magic cluster. Dissociation channels energy are also studied.

The electronic and magnetic properties of graphene functionalized by 4f-orbital RE-metal atoms (Ce, Nd, Sm and Eu) were investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results of binding energy and geometry parameters showed that the hollow site, the center of a carbon hexagon, was the most stable adsorption structure. Furthermore, the PDOS results suggested that the electronic hybridization between the RE-adatoms and C atoms was mainly contributed by the 5d orbitals, whereas the 4f-orbital of the metal adatoms dominated the net magnetic moments of the systems significantly.

Recent advances in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in respect of structural characterization down to atomic scale have enabled confirmation of stabilization of long ignored hexagonal omega (ω) phase in steel. The presence of ω phase is suggested to increase the strength of steel, and one of the factors concerning its stabilization is enrichment caused by the presence of certain solute atoms in the nanometer sized areas. Here, we report a density functional theory study conducted on a (3×3×2) ω –Fe supercell by introducing alloying elements in such a way that at a particular instant, either interstitial or substitutional C co-exist with any one of the elements Mn, Cr, Al, Si, and Co in substitutional position. From total energy calculations, we show that the cohesive energy of ω-Fe supercell increases in general, and the most stable combinations in the decreasing order of stability are Csub-Cr > Csub-Co > Csub-Si. Even though the ferromagnetic state is more stable when compared to non-magnetic and antiferromagnetic configurations, the total magnetism of the supercell decreases as some of the atoms acquire negative magnetic moments. The density of states analysis shows that the d-band width of Fe decreases in presence of alloying elements, and this can lead to increased cohesive energy. Our results elucidate that the presence of minor alloying elements can be a factor in stabilizing the metastable ω-phase in steel.

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.
