Electronic Properties of Hydrogen Adsorption on the Silicon- Substituted C20 Fullerenes: A Density Functional Theory Calculations

The B3LYP/6-31++G** density functional calculations were used to obtain minimum geometries and interaction energies between the molecular hydrogen and nanostructures of fullerenes, C20 (cage), C20 (bowl), C19Si (bowl, penta), C19Si (bowl, hexa). The H2 molecule is set as adsorbed in the distance of 3Å at vertical position from surface above the pentagonal and hexagonal sites of nanostructures. ...

Density Functional Theory Studies of Defects in the (5,5) Silicon Nanotube

We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the properties of defect in arepresentative armchair model of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs). To this aim, the structures of pristine and defective(5,5) SiNTs have been optimized and the properties such as bond lengths, total energies, binding energies,.formation energies, gap energies, and dipole moments have been evaluat...

Investigating the Effect of Doping Graphene with Silicon in the Adsorption of Alanine by Density Functional Theory

In this investigation, the influence of doping graphene with silicon in the adsorption of alanine amino acid was inspected computationally. For this purpose, the structures of pure graphene, silicon doped graphene, alanine and 10 derived products of the alanine reaction with pure and silicon doped nano-adsorbents were optimized geometrically. Afterwards, the values of adsorption energy, formati...

A multiconfigurational hybrid density-functional theory.

We propose a multiconfigurational hybrid density-functional theory which rigorously combines a multiconfiguration self-consistent-field calculation with a density-functional approximation based on a linear decomposition of the electron-electron interaction. This gives a straightforward extension of the usual hybrid approximations by essentially adding a fraction λ of exact static correlation in...
