Structural, electronic, and optical properties of NiAl3: First-principles calculations

We report ab initio density-functional calculations of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of NiAl3, using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation to the exchange-correlation potential. The D011 structure is found to be energetically favorable over both the cubic L12 and A15 phases. The density of states around the F...

Accurate atomistic first-principles calculations of electronic stopping

We show that atomistic first-principles calculations based on real-time propagation within time-dependent density functional theory are capable of accurately describing electronic stopping of light projectile atoms in metal hosts over a wide range of projectile velocities. In particular, we employ a plane-wave pseudopotential scheme to solve time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations for representative...

Carbon string structures: First-principles calculations of quantum conductance

Carbon forms various nanostructures based on the monatomic chains or strings which show transport properties of fundamental and technological interest. We have carried out first-principles quantum conductance calculations using optimized structures within density functional theory. We treated finite segments of carbon monatomic chain, metal-semiconductor heterostructure, and resonant tunneling ...
