Ab initio study of silver niobate
Using DFT calculations, we investigate the local structure and the distortion patterns of the perovskite AgNbO3 to examine the feasibility of using silver on the perovskite A-site in lead-free piezoelectrics. Our calculations show that in a 5-atom AgNbO 3 unit cell, silver atoms can off-center by about 0.5 A, forming short covalent bonds similar to the short Pb-O bonds in Pb-based ferrroelectri...
متن کاملStructure, electronic, and optical properties of TiO2 atomic clusters: an ab initio study.
Atomic clusters of TiO(2) are modeled by means of state-of-the-art techniques to characterize their structural, electronic and optical properties. We combine ab initio molecular dynamics, static density functional theory, time-dependent density functional theory, and many body techniques, to provide a deep and comprehensive characterization of these systems. TiO(2) clusters can be considered as...
متن کاملAb Initio Investigation of Polyethylene Glycol Coating of TiO2 Surfaces
In biomedical applications, TiO2 nanoparticles are generally coated with polymers to prevent agglomeration, improve biocompatibility, and reduce cytotoxicity. Although the synthesis processes of such composite compounds are well established, there is still a substantial lack of information on the nature of the interaction between the titania surface and the organic macromolecules. In this work,...
متن کاملAb initio determination of light hadron masses.
More than 99% of the mass of the visible universe is made up of protons and neutrons. Both particles are much heavier than their quark and gluon constituents, and the Standard Model of particle physics should explain this difference. We present a full ab initio calculation of the masses of protons, neutrons, and other light hadrons, using lattice quantum chromodynamics. Pion masses down to 190 ...
متن کاملAb initio quantum dynamics using coupled-cluster.
The curse of dimensionality (COD) limits the current state-of-the-art ab initio propagation methods for non-relativistic quantum mechanics to relatively few particles. For stationary structure calculations, the coupled-cluster (CC) method overcomes the COD in the sense that the method scales polynomially with the number of particles while still being size-consistent and extensive. We generalize...
