We conduct first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the ScB2 (0001) surfaces. The optimized surface structures and electronic properties are obtained. The results show that Sc-terminated surface is thermodynamically more favorable in most of range. The relaxations indicate that it is mainly localized within top three layers and it is less relaxation for Sc-terminated surface. The surface induced features in DOS disappear slowly for the B-terminated surface but vanish rapidly for the Sc-terminated surface. For the Sc-terminated surface, it shows strong metallic property. Simultaneously, both termination surfaces are found charge accumulation relative to the idea surface. Sc-B bonds are strengthened result in the outermost interface spacing are all contracted.

AbstractFirst-principles spin-density-functional calculations are used to evaluate hyperfine and superhyperfine parameters for hydrogen and muonium at various sites in the Si lattice. The results can be directly compared with values from muon-spin-rotation experiments, leading to an unambiguous identification of “anomalous muonium” with the bond-center site. The agreement found in this case instills confidence in the general use of spin-density-functional calculations for predicting hyperfine parameters of defects.

AbstractWe have calculated the work of adhesion (i.e. energy for rigid fracture) and peak interfacial stress for NiAl, Cr, and NiAl–Cr using self-consistent density functional calculations to obtain the complete energy vs. separation curve for each system. Our calculations indicate that the work of adhesion is largest for Cr and smallest for NiAI while those for interfaces of NiAI with Cr are intermediate. We have also estimated that segregation processes could alter the work of adhesion for the AlNi/Cr interface by up to 20% since Al tends to segregate to the free NiAl surface while Ni tends to segregate to the AlNi/Cr interface.

Reduction Behaviour

The attempted crystal growth of 1,4-bis(tricyanovinyl)benzene dianion salts, although without success so far, has provided information of general interest. The crystal structures of the related mono and 1,4-bis(tricyanovinyl)benzene derivatives differ considerably in their substituent group twisting angles: The two tricyanovinylbenzenes in split-positions exhibit dihedral angles of only 6° or 11°, whereas the two C2(CN)3 groups of the disubstituted benzene are conrotationally twisted by 48° out of the benzene plane. Density functional calculations with 6 - 311++G** basis sets, however, predict identical values of 32° for both compounds and, therefore, their crystal arrangements are discussed in detail for packingenforced additional interactions. Cyclovoltammetric and ESR/ENDOR-measurements provide information on the redox behaviour, a prerequisite for attempts to crystallize molecular anion salts: The 1,4-disubstituted derivative with a cyclovoltammetrically determined halfwave reduction potential of +.14 V in aprotic THF solution proves to be one of the strongest polycyano-substituted π-acceptors and its radical anion can be selectively generated by T1 metal reduction as confirmed by its ESR/ENDOR spectra.
