چکیده

We examine the vibrational stability of three candidate structures for the B24N24 cage and report their infra-red (IR) and Raman spectra. The candidate structures considered are a round cage with octahedral Øsymmetry, a cage with S4 symmetry that satisfies the isolated square rule, and a cage of S8 symmetry, which combines the caps of the (4,4) nanotube, and contains two extra squares and octagons. The calculations are performed within density functional theory, at the all electron level, with large basis sets, and within the generalized gradient approximation. The vertical ionization potential (VIP) and static dipole polarizability are also reported. The S4 and S8 cages are energetically nearly degenerate and are favored over the Øcage which has six extra octagons and squares. The IR and Raman spectra of the three clusters show notable differences providing thereby a way to identify and possibly synthesize the cages.

We present all-electron density functional study of the geometry, electronic structure, vibrational modes, polarizabilities as well as the infrared and Raman spectra of fullerene-like arsenic cages. The stability of Asn cages for sizes 4, 8, 20, 28, 32, 36, and 60 wherein each As atom is three-fold coordinated is examined. We find that all the cages studied are vibrationally stable and while al...

Comparison of Raman spectra and vibrational density of states between graphene nanoribbons with different edges

Vibrational properties of graphene nanoribbons are examined with density functional based tight-binding method and non-resonant bond polarization theory. We show that the recently discovered reconstructed zigzag edge can be identified from the emergence of high-energy vibrational mode due to strong triple bonds at the edges. This mode is visible also in the Raman spectrum. Total vibrational den...

Molecular Vibrational Spectra in the Solid State

The site and factor group methods of interpreting solid state vibrational spectra are compared. As examples. K2TiF6 (which has one molecular unit in a unit cell) and K2ZrF5 (which has eight in a non-primitive unit cell) are considered. Benzenetricarbonylchromium enables a distinction between site and factor group methods. The modification of the latter needed to account for the spectra of Cr(CO...
