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.

AbstractUsing two different approaches: Monte Carlo simulations with Tersoff empirical potential and first principles calculations, the energetics and the structural properties of double-walled carbon and silicon nanotubes are investigated. Through Tersoff potential, the changes on cohesive energies for the Si and C systems are determined for several outer tubules for a fixed inner tube. Adopting first principles calculations, based on density functional theory, the trends, in terms of the cohesive energies, are compared with the corresponding obtained results using Tersoff empirical potential. The structures, specially of the most stable double-walled nanotubes, are discussed.
