Functional Theory

Copper chloride consists of parallel chains of CuCl2. The chains are sufficiently far apart such that the electronic and magnetic properties of CuCl2 have been approximated as arising from isolated chains. Density functional theory using the LANL2DZ/6-31G* basis set has been used to calculate the total energy of CuCl2 chains having nanometer length. The calculations, which are performed as a function of chain length, predict that chains having ferromagnetic order have a lower energy than chains with no order. Calculations of the band gap as a function of length for the ferromagnetic chains indicate that chains greater than 6 nm may be semiconducting suggesting that nanosized CuCl2 chains have the potential to be magnetic semiconductors.

The optimized geometries, stability, and magnetic properties of cationic clusters Si7+, Si6Mn+, and Si5Mn2+ have been determined by the method of density functional theory using the B3P86/6-311+G(d) functional/basis set. Their electronic configurations have been analyzed to understand the influence of substituting Si atoms by Mn atoms on the structural and magnetic aspects of Si7+. It is shown that the manganese dopant does not alter the structure of the silicon host but significantly changes its stability and magnetism. In particular, while the magnetic moment of Si7+ is 1 mB, Si5Mn2+ exhibits a strong magnetic moment of 9 mB and that of Si6Mn+ takes a relatively high value of 4 mB. Among studied clusters, the pentagonal bipyramid Si5Mn2+ is assigned as the most stable one.

Polycyclic Aromatic

The structure and spectroscopic properties of polycyclic aromatic ligands of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis (alkylthio) triphenylene (alkyl: methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl; corresponding to the abbreviations of the molecules: HMTT, HETT and HiPTT) were studied using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods with triple-zeta valence polarization (TZVP) basis set. It was shown that the type of functional theory used, Becke-Perdew (BP) and Leeuwen-Baerends (LB94) implemented in Amsterdam Density functional (ADF) program package, does not have essential influence on the geometry of studied compounds in both ground and excited states. However, significant differences were obtained for the band gap values with relativistic effects of the zero order regular approximation scalar corrections (ZORA) and LB94 functional seems to reproduce better the experimental optical band gap of these systems.

Abstract We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the electronic structure of graphene sheet with periodic vacancy. We report the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the graphene sheet with periodic vacancy that possess 48 C & 28 H atoms. Computational analysis based on density functional theory predicts that the periodic vacancy can modulate the properties of graphene sheet. Results show that periodic vacancies lead to the manipulation of band gap & could be utilized to tailor the electronic properties of the sheet. Also, it is found that, the graphene sheet with periodic vacancy is non-magnetic in nature.

ABINIT program package based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) within the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and plane wave basis set are used to calculate the magnetic properties of Mn doped NiO. It was found that the magnetic properties of Mn doped NiO were changed from anti-ferromagnetic (pure NiO) to ferromagnetism. Increasing the concentrations of Mn, the magnetization of Mn doped NiO were increased (Ni31MnO32 = 66.69 µB, Ni30Mn2O32 = 69.59 µB and Ni29Mn3O32 = 72.42 µB).

Indirect Band Gap

We present first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Gd-doped [Formula: see text] based on the density functional theory within [Formula: see text] schemes. It is found that Gd atom favors substituting for Al site. Compared with undoped [Formula: see text], the Gd-doped [Formula: see text] has become an indirect band gap semiconductor of reduced band gap. The magnetic moment [Formula: see text] per molecule mainly comes from Gd ion with little contribution from the Ga, Al and N atoms. It is confirmed that the ferromagnetic configuration is stable for [Formula: see text]. It is found also that there is hybridization between the forbital of the Gd atom and the [Formula: see text] orbital of the N atom.

Muonium Hyperfine

The Density Functional Theory method was employed to investigate the electronic structure and muonium hyperfine interaction of muonium trapped near carbon atom labelled as '5' in cytosine nucleobase. Eighteen different basis sets in combination with B3LYP functional were examined in geometry optimization calculations on the muoniated radical. There are significant quantitative differences in the calculated total energy. The employment of basis set that does not include polarization function produces an optimized structure with high total energy. The 6-311++G(d,p) basis set yielded the lowest total energy as compared to other basis sets. The bond order of muonium trapped at C5 atom is in the range of 0.841 to 0.862. The 6-31G basis set produced the muonium Fermi contact coupling constant that is the closest to the experimental value.

Iron And Manganese

We are attempting to study the properties of new materials based on Diamond-like semiconductors (DLS). Due to broad collection of useful properties, DLS are exciting materials to study. The novel substances Li2MnGeS4 and Li2CoSnS4 result from using a rational and guileless design approach that leads the discovery of DLSs with wide-ranging regions of optical transparency. So here, we have analyzed their applications in atomic devices and system called “optoelectronic” using the FP-APW method and mBJ method. The band gap value for Li2MnGeS4 is 2.911[Formula: see text]eV and Li2CoSnS4 is 2.45[Formula: see text]eV. The present DLS materials confirm their semiconductor characters. The presence of iron and manganese in these compounds have generated magnetic properties that we explored by the calculation of magnetic moment and spin-densities maps.

Zinc blend (zb) and wurtizite (wz) structure of cadmium selenide (CdSe) is determined using density-functional theory within local density approximation (LDA), generalized gradient approximation (GGA), Hubbard-correction (GGA+U) and Hybrid functional approximation (PBE0 or HSE06). The first principle pseudopotential plane wave is used and the relaxed atomic position for the CdSe in zb and wz structure was obtained by using total energy and force minimization method following the Hellmann Feynman approach. The convergence test of total energy with respect to cutoff energy and k-point sampling is performed . The equilibrium lattice constant and unit cell volume of CdSe in both phases are calculated and the obtained value is compared` with experimental values. In addition the band gap of CdSe is analyzed using DFT within LDA, GGA, DFT+U and PBE0 to approximate the unknown exchange correlation functional. The band gap values obtained using LDA and GGA are severally under estimated due to their poor approximation of exchange-correlation potential. This problem was improved by using projector augmented-wave pseudopotential within Hubbard-correction (GGA+U) and the hybrid functional approximation. Optical properties: complex and real parts of dielectric function, energy loss spectrum and absorption coefficient of CdSe in both ZB and WZ phase were studied.

<p>We thoroughly benchmark time-dependent density- functional theory for the predictive calculation of UV/Vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, we compare the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density-functional theory, including the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ~0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ~0.04 eV). </p>
