The electronic structure, magnetic properties and strain response of N-a-TiS3 nanoribbons are investigated by first-principles calculations. We find that the magnetic ground state is strongly dependent on width of a-TiS3. When N equals an odd number the ground state is a ferromagnetic (FM) metal, meanwhile, when N equals an even number the ground state is an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) metal. More interestingly, a tensile strain as large as 6% can tune the 9-a-TiS3 nanoribbon from a FM metal to a half metal. A 4% tensile strain also causes a phase transition from AFM to FM ground state for 10-a-TiS3 nanoribbon. Our findings show that N-a-TiS3 is a promising candidate for spintronic and electronic applications.

The structural stability of MgCe under high pressures has been investigated by using the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory within the local density approximation (LDA). The obtained results predict that MgCe in the Ba structure is predicted to be the most stable structure corresponding to the ground state, because of lowest total energy. MgCe undergoes a pressure-induced phase transition from the Ba structure to B32 structure at 36 GPa. And no further transition is found up to 120 GPa. In addition, the electronic structures of four structures of MgCe are also calculated and discussed.

AbstractIn recent years the intermetallic ternary RE2MgGe2 (RE = rare earth) compounds attract interest in a variety of technological areas. We therefore investigate in the present work the structural, electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of Nd2MgGe2 and Gd2MgGe2. Spin–orbit coupling is found to play an essential role in realizing the antiferromagnetic ground state observed in experiments. Both materials show metallicity and application of a Debye-Slater model demonstrates low thermal conductivity and little effects of the RE atom on the thermodynamic behavior.

Transition Metal Alloys

We demonstrate the importance of accounting for the complex magnetic ground state and finite temperature magnetic excitations in theoretical simulations of structural and elastic properties of transition metal alloys. Considering Fe72Cr16Ni12face centered cubic (fcc) alloy, we compare results of first-principles calculations carried out for ferromagnetic and non-magnetic states, as well as for the state with disordered local moments. We show that the latter gives much more accurate description of the elastic properties for paramagnetic alloys. We carry out a determination of the magnetic ground state for fcc Fe-Mn alloys, considering collinear, as well as non-collinear states, and show the sensitively of structural and elastic properties in this system to the detailed alignment between magnetic moments. We therefore conclude that it is essential to develop accurate models of the magnetic state for the predictive description of properties of transition metal alloys.

The ground state geometric structures of the nanoparticles or clusters CO n(n = 1-6) were given based on the first-principles calculations. Then the magnetic properties of the clusters CO n(n = 1-6) and ( CO n)-2(n = 1-6) were calculated in system. Results show that their ground state structures are closely related to the numbers of O-ions. These clusters have no magnetic moments and half-metallicity if they are electroneutral. However, they have magnetic moments if they have positive or negative charges. The total magnetic moments of the clusters ( CO n)-2(n = 1-6, but n≠3) are all 2.0000 μB, and all their ions have contributions to the total magnetic moments. The main reason is that the molecular orbitals with lower energy filled with paired electrons and the molecular orbitals with higher energy are occupied by two electrons in parallel.
