Neutral and charged excitations in carbon fullerenes from first-principles many-body theories.
We investigate the accuracy of first-principles many-body theories at the nanoscale by comparing the low-energy excitations of the carbon fullerenes C(20), C(24), C(50), C(60), C(70), and C(80) with experiment. Properties are calculated via the GW-Bethe-Salpeter equation and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo methods. We critically compare these theories and assess their accuracy against available p...
متن کاملNeutral and charged embedded clusters of Mn in doped GaN from first principles
Based on extensive density-functional theory calculations, the spatial distribution and magnetic coupling of Mn atoms in Mn:GaN have been reinvestigated by doping up to five Mn atoms in large supercells, where the formation energies and the electronic structure for both the neutral and charged valence states are studied. The doped Mn atoms have a strong tendency to form substitutional Mn-N-Mn b...
متن کاملNeutral and charged boron-doped fullerenes for CO2 adsorption
Recently, the capture and storage of CO2 have attracted research interest as a strategy to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse gases. It is crucial to find suitable materials to achieve an efficient CO2 capture. Here we report our study of CO2 adsorption on boron-doped C60 fullerene in the neutral state and in the 1e (-)-charged state. We use first principle density functional calculation...
متن کاملElectronic excitations in light absorbers for photoelectrochemical energy conversion: first principles calculations based on many body perturbation theory.
We describe state of the art methods for the calculation of electronic excitations in solids and molecules, based on many body perturbation theory, and we discuss some applications of these methods to the study of band edges and absorption processes in representative materials used as photoelectrodes for water splitting.
متن کاملBoron Fullerenes: A First-Principles Study
A family of unusually stable boron cages was identified and examined using first-principles local-density functional method. The structure of the fullerenes is similar to that of the B12 icosahedron and consists of six crossing double-rings. The energetically most stable fullerene is made up of 180 boron atoms. A connection between the fullerene family and its precursors, boron sheets, is made....
