Excess Electrons

We have used ab initio molecular dynamics and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G** level of theory to evaluate the energy and localisation of excess electrons at a number of representative interfaces of polymer nanocomposites.

Formation Energies

The formation energies of the T.M impurities Ti and Zr were calculated using DFT calculations at absolute zero and ab initio MD simulations at 300 K. We found that, with increasing temperature, Zr impurities become more stable and prefer to segregate at the interface of ∑5 (310)[001] grain boundary. In the case of Ti, the results show that it remains a stable defect when temperature increases.

Pi Interactions

Directly linked polyanthraquinones have relatively large electronic couplings between charge-localized states despite near-orthogonality of the monomer units. By using density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, we investigate this unusual coupling mechanism and show that this is due to strong lone pair-pi interactions, which are maximized around orthogonal conformations. We find that such materials are largely resilient to dynamic disorder and are promising for organic electronics applications.
