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...
متن کاملFirst principles calculations of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the clathrates Ba8Al16Ge30 and Ba8Al16Si30
We have studied the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the clathrates Ba8Al16Ge30 and Ba8Al16Si30 using the local density approximation (LDA). The equilibrium structures that we have obtained for these materials show that the Si-containing compound Ba8Al16Si30 is energetically more stable than its Ge counterpart Ba8Al16Ge30 by −0.38 eV per atom. We also find that Ba8Al16Si30 i...
متن کاملStructural, mechanical, and electronic properties of Rh2B and RhB2: first-principles calculations
The crystal structures of Rh2B and RhB2 at ambient pressure were explored by using the evolutionary methodology. A monoclinic P2₁/m structure of Rh2B was predicted and donated as Rh2B-I, which is energetically much superior to the previously experimentally proposed Pnma structure. At the pressure of about 39 GPa, the P2₁/m phase of Rh2B transforms to the C2/m phases. For RhB2, a new monoclinic ...
متن کاملUnusual structural and electronic properties of porous silicene and germanene: insights from first-principles calculations
Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the geometric structures and electronic properties of porous silicene and germanene nanosheets, which are the Si and Ge analogues of α-graphyne (referred to as silicyne and germanyne). It is found that the elemental silicyne and germanyne sheets are energetically unfavourable. However, after the C-substitution, the hybrid graphyne-like sheets ...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculations of the structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of liquid MgO
The structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of liquid MgO have been investigated over a wide range of pressure 0 to 240 GPa and temperature 3000–10 000 K using first-principles molecular dynamics FPMD within the framework of density-functional theory and the pseudopotential approximation. Our results show that the liquid structure is highly sensitive to compression: the Mg-O coordinati...
