We have studied the effects of surface oxygen and its bond structure on the electronic properties of silicon nanoclusters by means of density functional theory calculations. The results of the energy gap as a function of the nanocluster size in hydrogen-terminated and oxygen-adsorbed silicon clusters provide a well interpretation of several experiments. The nature of electronic and optical properties of silicon nanoclusters has been discussed and attributed to the oxygen in both the Si=O double bond structure and Si–O–Si bridge structure.

AbstractThe atomic and electronic structures of Si6H2m and Si6H+2m+1 clusters have been investigated in the framework of density-functional theory. For both neutral and ionized clusters we found the structure to belong to one of four distinct structural families. A molecular-orbital picture of hydrogenation is presented. From the calculated formation energies of these clusters, we infer the relative stability of the different structural families discussed.

The enthalpy of four polymorphs of CaN has been scrutinized at 0 and 100 GPa using density functional theory calculations. It is shown that structures of diamagnetic calcium diazenide (Ca2N2) are preferred over the cubic ferromagnetic polymorph (CaN) postulated before, both at 0 and 100 GPa.

AbstractWe present a tensor-structured algorithm for efficient large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations by constructing a Tucker tensor basis that is adapted to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and localized in real-space. The proposed approach uses an additive separable approximation to the Kohn–Sham Hamiltonian and an L1 localization technique to generate the 1-D localized functions that constitute the Tucker tensor basis. Numerical results show that the resulting Tucker tensor basis exhibits exponential convergence in the ground-state energy with increasing Tucker rank. Further, the proposed tensor-structured algorithm demonstrated sub-quadratic scaling with system-size for both systems with and without a gap, and involving many thousands of atoms. This reduced-order scaling has also resulted in the proposed approach outperforming plane-wave DFT implementation for systems beyond 2000 electrons.
