Spin-polarized DFT calculations were used to investigate the atomic, electronic structures of LaCoO3and La1−xSrxCoO3surfaces. The thermodynamic stability of these surfaces was analyzed with phase diagrams. Influence of Sr-doping was also examined.

We carried out ab initio electronic structure calculations in the frameworks of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) to study the electronic structures and hyperfine interaction of muonium (Mu) in imidazole (C3H4N2) and 1–methylimidazole (CH3C3H3N2). The local energy minima and hyperfine interactions of the Mu trapped at the three studies sites were determined by performing geometry optimization procedure. The results show the total energies for all three studied sites are close to one another. The Mu hyperfine interactions were also determined, with the corresponding values vary from 343.00 MHz to 471.28 MHz for the imidazole–Mu cluster, and from 380.21 MHz – 465.57 MHz to 475.93 MHz for the cluster of 1–methylimidazole–Mu, respectively.

AbstractThe geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its 5,7-dichloro, 5,7-dibromo, 5,7-diiodo and 5,7-dinitro derivatives were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with Becke3-Lee-Parr (B3LYP) functional and 6-31G* basis set. The effects of chloride, bromide, iodide and nitro substituent on the vibrational frequencies of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been investigated. The assignments have been proposed with aid of the results of normal coordinate analysis. The observed and calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement.

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.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to investigate the structures of small silsesquioxanes (Si2nO3nX2n) (n=1-5 and X=H, F, Me). The large HOMO–LUMO gaps, which range from 5.41 to 9.17 eV, imply optimal electronic structures for these molecules. Furthermore, the substituent effect analysis indicate that the electron donating methyl group substituents lengthen the Si-O bond and largen the SiOSi bond angle, the electron withdrawing F atom substituents shorten the Si-O bond and lessen the SiOSi bond angle.
