The Density Functional Theory

The geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of Ho-doped Sin (n=1-12, 16, and 18) clusters are studied via the density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. The results show that the Ho atom in the most stable HoSin clusters always occupies the surface site. Starting from n=18, the Ho atom abruptly drops into the center of Si frame, forming the Ho-encapsulated Si cages. The stabilities of HoSin clusters increase with increasing size n. The Ho atom in HoSin clusters enhances their chemical activities. Moreover, the magnetisms of HoSin clusters are independent of their geometric structures, and the Si and Ho atoms are antiferromagnetic.

Direct Hybridization

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.

The Density Functional Theory

We have studied the structures and electronic properties of PdCn (n=2-12) using the density functional theory in this paper. Though calculating, we found that the linear isomers are most stable for PdCn(n=2-9) clusters. N=10 is turning point, and the bicyclical structure is most stable for PdC10 cluster. Cyclic structures have the lowest energy for PdC11 and PdC12 clusters.

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.
