ABSTRACTRelative stabilities and electronic structure of graphene/h-BN superlattices are discussed in the framework of the density functional theory. Most importantly, relative stabilities between commensurate and incommensurate superlattices are studied. Commensurate graphene/h-BN monolayer superlattices are found to be definitely more stable than incommensurate superlattices. In graphene/h-BN bilayer superlattices, commensurate superlattices are found to be slightly more stable than incommensurate superlattices. Results also imply that a finite pressure can induce transition from an incommensurate superlattice to a commensurate superlattice.

In this work, we performed a quantum-chemical calculation of some epoxy molecules: 1,2-epoxy-butene, 1,2-epoxy-2-methylpropane, 1,2 epoxyethane by the density functional theory DFT. An optimized geometric and electronic structure of these compounds is obtained. It was found that the studied epoxides belong to the class of very weak СH-acids (pKa = 28-30).

This paper studies the effect of GGA-PBE, GGA-PBEsol, GGA-PW91, GGA-VWN-BP, LDA-PWC, LDA-VWN parameterized exchange–correlation functionals and Cu impurity concentration on the lattice and electronic properties of bulk AuCu by the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The lattice properties are determined by the lattice constant, the unit cell volume and the total energy on unit cell. The electronic properties are determined by the band gap, the Partial Density of States (PDOS) and the total Density of States (DOS) of materials. The obtained results showed the effect of the interaction potential and the Cu impurity concentration on the lattice structure and the electronic structure of bulk AuCu.

Our present work is based on the density functional theory (DFT) studies of TiO 2 crystals doped with V impurities. Both rutile and anatase structures have been considered within the present research and different defect concentrations have been used as well. Our calculations reveal equilibrium geometry of the system showing atomic rearrangement around the point defect being mainly inward with respect to the impurity. Magnetism and electronic structure based on the density of states (DOS) patterns for both rutile and anatase crystals have been obtained and discussed in detail. It is shown that local magnetic moments arise mainly from the 3d states of the impurity atom with some admixture of 2p states from the vanadium-nearest O atoms.
