The combined use of a genetic algorithm and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations allows us to explore the potential energy surface. Our results show interesting effects on the geometries of the clusters on deposition. Two-dimensional clusters in the gas phase become three-dimensional and vice versa.

The binding energies, geometries, 7 Li magnetic shielding, and electric field gradient tensors of hydrogenated lithium clusters, Li n H m (m ≤ n ≤ 4), were studied via density functional theory approach. We optimized the structures using B3LYP functional and 6-311++G (2d,2p) basis set. The calculated binding energies of lithium hydride clusters indicate that hydrogenation energy of Li n H m clusters decreases as the number of hydrogen atoms within the cluster increases. Our calculations also showed that for n = 4 clusters, the three-dimensional structure is more stable than the planar one. The study of the trends in the 7 Li magnetic shielding isotropy, σiso, and anisotropies, Δσ, values are explained in terms of the interplay between the electronic and geometrical effects. The variations in the 7 Li nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, χ, and their associated asymmetry parameters, ηQ, for different isomers of the lithium hydride clusters and the influence of hydrogenation on the EFG tensors are also discussed. For n = 4, we obtained a noticeable difference in the χ value from the planar to the three-dimensional structures. The atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis at the Li–H bond critical point reveals remarkably different topographical properties of the charge density and associated Laplacian fields for the planar and three-dimensional lithium hydride clusters.

Boron nitride is a material similar to carbon in its ability to adopt numerous molecular forms, including two-dimensional sheets and three-dimensional cages and nanotubes. Boron nitride single molecules, such as B12N12, have isomeric forms that include rings and sheets, as well as cage forms analogous and isoelectronic to the carbon fullerenes. Such cages tend to be composed of squares and hexagons to allow perfect alternation of boron and nitrogen atoms, which is possible because of the 1 : 1 ratio of boron-to-nitrogen atoms. What about molecules in which this 1 : 1 ratio does not apply? In the current study, theoretical calculations are carried out on molecules of B10N14 to determine energetically favorable isomers. Density functional theory is used in conjunction with Dunning basis sets. Cage, sheet, and ring isomers are considered. Energetic trends are calculated and discussed, in comparison to comparable studies on B12N12.

AbstractMagnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) is one of the most important properties in two-dimensional magnetism since the magnetization in two dimension is vulnerable to the spin rotational fluctuations. Using density functional theory calculation, we show that perpendicular electric field dramatically enhances the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropies in Fe3GeTe2 and Fe4GeTe2 monolayers, respectively, allowing the change of easy axis in both systems. The changes of the MAE under the electric field are understood as the result of charge redistribution inside the layer, which is available due to the three-dimensional (3D) network of Fe atoms in the monolayers. As a result, we suggest that due to the unique structure of FenGeTe2 compounds composed by peculiar 3D networks of metal atoms, the MAE can be dramatically changed by the external perpendicular electric field.

Using density functional theory, we study the electronic properties of several halide monolayers. We show that their electronic bandgaps, as obtained with the HSE hybrid functional, range between 3.0 and 7.5 eV and that their phonon spectra are dynamically stable. Additionally, we show that under an external electric field some of these systems exhibit a semiconductor-to-metal transition.
