By using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) scheme within the density functional theory (DFT), the electronic and magnetic properties of Hg2CuTi-type Heusler alloy Ti2FeAl were investigated. The results reveal that a 100% spin polarization appears at Fermi level (εF) in Ti2FeAl, and is maintained during lattice range of 5.1Å~6.2Å. Ti2FeAl is one of stable Half-Metallic Ferromagnets (HMF) with a spin-minority gap of 0.5 eV at εF and total magnetic moment of 1μB per unit cell. Our studies also indicate that the competition between RKKY-type indirect exchange and direct hybridization of d-electronic atoms plays a dominating role in determining the magnetism.

Generalized Gradient Approximation

Density-functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the thermodynamic and ground-state properties of bulk uranium tri-iodide, UI3. The theory is fully relativistic and electron correlations, beyond the DFT and generalized gradient approximation, are addressed with orbital polarization. The electronic structure indicates anti-ferromagnetism, in agreement with neutron diffraction, with band gaps and a non-metallic system. Furthermore, the formation energy, atomic volume, crystal structure, and heat capacity are calculated in reasonable agreement with experiments, whereas for the elastic constants experimental data are unavailable for comparison. The thermodynamical properties are modeled within a quasi-harmonic approximation and the heat capacity and Gibbs free energy as functions of temperature agree with available calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) thermodynamic assessment of the experimental data.

Adsorption Energies

Density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) has been used to investigate possible adsorption configurations of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) molecule on the chromium oxide ([Formula: see text]-Cr2O[Formula: see text] (0001) surface. Two configurations are found to lead to the molecular adsorption with corresponding adsorption energies being equal to [Formula: see text]0.16 and [Formula: see text]0.48[Formula: see text]eV, respectively. Our work describes in detail atomic displacements for both crystalline surface and adsorbate as well as discusses electronic and magnetic properties of the system. The most favorable adsorption case is found when the chemical bond between one of the molecular oxygens and one of the surface Cr atoms has been formed.

Generalized Gradient Approximation

The energetics and geometries of perylene encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been investigated employing density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation combined with the van der Waals correction. Our calculations show that the encapsulated perylene molecules possess two metastable molecular conformations with respect to the CNT wall, which are almost degenerate with each other. A standing conformation, with respect to the CNT wall, is the ground state conformation for a semiconducting (19,0)CNT, while a lying conformation is the ground state for a metallic (11,11)CNT. Cooperation and competition between perylene–perylene and perylene–CNT interactions cause these possible perylene conformations inside CNTs. However, the electronic structure of the CNT encapsulating the perylene molecules is found to be insensitive to the molecular conformation.
