The Density Functional Theory

The formation enthalpy, electronic structures, and elastic moduli of the intermetallic compound Ti5Si3 with substitutions Zr, V, Nb, and Cr are investigated by using first-principles methods based on the density-functional theory. Our calculation shows that the site occupancy behaviors of alloying elements in Ti5Si3, determined by their atom radius, are consistent with the available experimental observations. Furthermore, using the Voigt–Reuss–Hill (VRH) approximation method, we obtained the bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, and the Young’s modulus E. Among these four substitutions, the V, Nb, and Cr substitutions can improve the ductility of Ti5Si3 effectively, while Zr substitution has little effect on the elastic properties of Ti5Si3. The elastic property variations of Ti5Si3 due to different substitutions are found to be correlated with the Me4d–Me4d antibonding and the strengthened Me4d–Si bonding in the solids.

The Stability

The stability and electronic properties of Mg2Pb (100), (110) and (111) surfaces were investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated results showed that the orders of relaxation and surface energy are |∆d15(111)| < |∆d15(110)| < |∆d15(100)| andEsurf(100) >Esurf(110) >Esurf(111), respectively, indicating that Mg2Pb (111) surface is the most stable among these three low index surfaces. The Density of states (DOS) of Mg2Pb surfaces are mainly dominated by Pb-6, Mg-3s, and 2porbitals in the band ranging from-5 eV to Fermi level. It can be further obtained from results of the DOS and the charge density difference that Mg2Pb (111) surface is more stable than Mg2Pb (100) and (110) surfaces. The Mg2Pb (111) surface is the thermodynamically most favorable over all of the range of.

In this paper, the electronic structures and magnetic properties of the Cu -doped ZnO monolayer are investigated by means of first-principles methods based on density functional theory. Numerical results show that the Cu dopant can induce the half-metallic ferromagnets in the ZnO monolayer due to the strong p–d coupling. In addition, the semiconductor band gap is also decreased when Zn atom is substituted by Cu atom in the ZnO monolayer. Moreover, the formation energy calculations also indicate that it is energy favorable and relatively easier to incorporate Cu atom into the ZnO monolayer under Zn -rich experimental conditions.

First Principles Study

The geometric and electronic structures of the cubic CaHfO3 (001) surfaces have been studied using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two different terminations, CaO- and HfO2-terminated surfaces, were investigated. It has been found that Ca atom has the largest relaxation for both kinds of terminations, and the surface rumpling of the CaO termination is far more prominent than that of the HfO2-terminated surface. Both the bandgaps of the CaO- and HfO2-terminated surfaces were calculated to be smaller than that of the CaHfO3 bulk. It was also shown that the CaO-terminated surface has a lower energy than the HfO2-terminated surface.

Based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), using first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method, elastic properties and electronic structure of TiB2 and ZrB2 were calculated. The elastic constants of these compounds were calculated by Voigt-Reuss-Hill method. The results show that the elastic modulus of TiB2 and ZrB2 are 594 and 520 GPa, and the shear modulus are 268 and 229 GPa, respectively. Pugh empirical criterion and Poisson's ratio show that the two compounds are very brittle, and the brittleness of TiB2 is higher than ZrB2. Finally, the differences in elastic properties between TiB2 and ZrB2 result form their electronic structures.
