ABSTRACTWe present first-principles local density functional calculations of the electronic structure and energetics of neutral and negatively charged fullerene molecules. We find thatthe negatively charged -1 state is stable relative to the neutral molecule and that the -2 state is stable relative to the neutral molecule but not to the -1 state of the molecule. We have also performed calculations of the electronic polarizabilities for different charged states and developed a simple model to estimate the dielectric constant of fullerene based crystals.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of rhodium clusters with sizes of 1 - 43 atoms embedded in the nickel host are studied by the first-principles spin-polarized calculations within the local density functional formalism. Single Rh atom in Ni matrix is found to have magnetic moment of 0.45μB. Rh13 and Rhl 9 clusters in Ni matrix have lower magnetic moments compared with the free ones. The most interesting finding is tha.t Rh43 cluster, which is bulk-like nonmagnetic in vacuum, becomes ferromagnetic when embedded in the nickel host.

We performed local density functional calculations for the electronic structure of short carbon nanobells. The calculated local density of states of the nanobells revealed field emission characteristics that agree with experimental observations. We also performed total energy calculations to study the structural stability and a related possible growth mechanism of the nanobells. In the nitrogen-doped carbon nanobells, nitrogen atoms that are attracted to the open-edge sites of the carbon nanobells appear to stop the growth of the nanostructures.
