Indirect Band Gap

We present first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Gd-doped [Formula: see text] based on the density functional theory within [Formula: see text] schemes. It is found that Gd atom favors substituting for Al site. Compared with undoped [Formula: see text], the Gd-doped [Formula: see text] has become an indirect band gap semiconductor of reduced band gap. The magnetic moment [Formula: see text] per molecule mainly comes from Gd ion with little contribution from the Ga, Al and N atoms. It is confirmed that the ferromagnetic configuration is stable for [Formula: see text]. It is found also that there is hybridization between the forbital of the Gd atom and the [Formula: see text] orbital of the N atom.

Solar Water Splitting

Using first-principles density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the advantage of using h-WO3 (and its surfaces) over the larger band gap γ-WO3 phase for the anode in water splitting. We demonstrate that h-WO3 is a good alternative anode material for optimal water splitting efficiencies.

Functional Theory

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.

Theory Comparison

AbstractThis contribution reports static ionic displacements in ferromagnetic disordered Fe70Pd30 alloys obtained by relaxation of the ionic positions of a 108-atom supercell within the framework of density functional theory. Comparison with a simple statistical model based on Lennard-Jones pair interactions reveals that these displacements are significantly larger than can be explained by the different sizes of the elemental constituents. The discrepancies are presumably related to collective displacements of the Fe atoms. Corresponding distortions are experimentally observed for ordered Fe3Pt and predicted by first-principles calculations for all ordered Fe-rich L12 alloys with Ni group elements and originate from details of the electronic structure at the Fermi level.
