The Stability

The stability and electronic properties of Mg2Pb (100), (110) and (111) surfaces were investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated results showed that the orders of relaxation and surface energy are |∆d15(111)| < |∆d15(110)| < |∆d15(100)| andEsurf(100) >Esurf(110) >Esurf(111), respectively, indicating that Mg2Pb (111) surface is the most stable among these three low index surfaces. The Density of states (DOS) of Mg2Pb surfaces are mainly dominated by Pb-6, Mg-3s, and 2porbitals in the band ranging from-5 eV to Fermi level. It can be further obtained from results of the DOS and the charge density difference that Mg2Pb (111) surface is more stable than Mg2Pb (100) and (110) surfaces. The Mg2Pb (111) surface is the thermodynamically most favorable over all of the range of.

Using density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the stability and electronic structure of lithium (Li) adsorbed in triplet form of (5.0) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and (5.0) boron nitrogen nanotubes (BNNTs). We have mainly found that three (5.0) tubes are covalently connected. The triplet form is an energetically stable semiconductor. Li atom can be chemically adsorbed in the triplet form of nanotubes (NTs). Meanwhile, upon the adsorption of Li, the triplet form convert into metal. Hence, the triplet form can improve reactivity and sensitivity of NTs to Li significantly.

Buckminsterfullerene C60

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) has been advocated as a perfect candidate material for the encapsulation and adsorption of a variety of metals and the resultant metallofullerenes have been considered for the use in different scientific, technological and medical areas. Using spin-polarized density functional theory together with dispersion correction, we examine the stability and electronic structures of endohedral and exohedral complexes formed between coinage metals (Cu, Ag and Au) and both non-defective and defective C60. Encapsulation is exoergic in both forms of C60 and their encapsulation energies are almost the same. Exohedral adsorption of all three metals is stronger than that of endohedral encapsulation in the non-defective C60. Structures and the stability of atoms interacting with an outer surface of a defective C60 are also discussed. As the atoms are stable both inside and outside the C60, the resultant complexes can be of interest in different scientific and medical fields. Furthermore, all complexes exhibit magnetic moments, inferring that they can be used as spintronic materials.

In present work, a detailed analysis of density functional theory (DFT) study performed on pure and doped MgO nanosheet(MgONs). The aim of this work is to explore the stability skeleton, and electronic properties of mono layer of the MgO nanosheets and analogous double-layers with various positions of exohedral Aln dopant atoms. Our results for pure and doped MgO nanosheet corroborate with previous theoretical and experimental data. Optimized structures of monolayer and analogous double-layers of MgO nanosheet (MgONs) result in stable 2-D configuration, especially on doping with large concentrations. It has been observed that the band gap decreases with the increase in concentration of doping while the electronegativity increases.

Covalent Interactions

An atom trapped in a crystal vacancy, a metal cage, or a fullerene might have many immediate neighbors. Then, the familiar concept of valency or even coordination number seems inadequate to describe the environment of that atom. This difficulty in terminology is illustrated here by four systems: H atoms in tetragonal-pyramidal rhodium cages, H atom in an octahedral cobalt cage, H atom in a MgO octahedral hole, and metal atoms in C20 fullerenes. Density functional theory defines structure and energetics for the systems. Interactions of the atom with its container are characterized by the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and the theory of non-covalent interactions (NCI). We establish that H atoms in H2Rh13(CO)243− trianion cannot be considered pentavalent, H atom in HCo6(CO)151− anion cannot be considered hexavalent, and H atom in MgO cannot be considered hexavalent. Instead, one should consider the H atom to be set in an environmental field defined by its 5, 6, and 6 neighbors; with interactions described by QTAIM. This point is further illustrated by the electronic structures and QTAIM parameters of M@C20, M=Ca to Zn. The analysis describes the systematic deformation and restoration of the symmetric fullerene in that series.
