ABSTRACTA theoretical approach has been developed that allows one to obtain thermodynamic properties of plutonium-based alloys and compounds from first-principles electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory. The approach is applied to study the defect structure in non-stoichiometric PuO2±δ.

AbstractTwo new phases of Si8C4 and Si4C8 with the P42/mnm symmetry are proposed. Using first principles calculations based on density functional theory, the structural, elastic, and electronic properties of Si8C4 and Si4C8 are studied systematically. Both Si8C4 and Si4C8 are proved to be mechanically and dynamically stable. The elastic anisotropies of Si8C4 and Si4C8 are studied in detail. Electronic structure calculations show that Si8C4 and Si4C8 are indirect semiconductors with the band gap of 0.74 and 0.15 eV, respectively.

To investigate energy gap bowing in homogeneously alloyed CdSxSe1−x quantum dots (QDs) and to understand whether it is different from bulk, we perform density functional theory based electronic structure calculations for spherical QDs of different compositions x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and of varying sizes (2.2 to 4.6 nm).
