We conduct first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the ScB2 (0001) surfaces. The optimized surface structures and electronic properties are obtained. The results show that Sc-terminated surface is thermodynamically more favorable in most of range. The relaxations indicate that it is mainly localized within top three layers and it is less relaxation for Sc-terminated surface. The surface induced features in DOS disappear slowly for the B-terminated surface but vanish rapidly for the Sc-terminated surface. For the Sc-terminated surface, it shows strong metallic property. Simultaneously, both termination surfaces are found charge accumulation relative to the idea surface. Sc-B bonds are strengthened result in the outermost interface spacing are all contracted.

The stability behaviour of AlN(0001)/NbB2(0001) interface was calculated by first-principle total-energy density functional theory. The calculation indicated that the stable NbB2(0001) surface is B terminated. We joined the AlN(0001) slab and the NbB2(0001) slab with different terminations together to construct all possible AlN(0001)/NbB2(0001) interface models, and calculated their interface energies to confirm the relatively stable model. We concluded that the structure with Al is on top of B in the interface AlN (0001)/NbB2(0001) is the most stable configuration.

We present first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the intermediate band states of substitutional V2+, Cr2+, and Mn2+ ions in ZnTe alloys. The intermediate band states of substitutional transition metal defects of TM2+xZn1−xTe (TM = V, Cr, Mn) alloys are examined as their atomic, structural, and electronic analysis. Our findings show that the scissor-corrected transitions due to Jahn-Teller effects lead to the wavelengths 2530 nm and 2695 nm in the emission spectra. Our findings agree with previously reported experimental results.

AbstractWe have performed total energy density functional theory calculations to investigate the sliding process at the ∑ = 5 (001) twist grain boundary in germanium. The accurate quantum mechanical description of the interatomic bonding provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of bond breaking and remaking that occur during the sliding.In this paper we show how total energy calculations can be used to describe finite temperature and strain rate effects in this grain boundary.
