Ab Initio determination of Cu 3d orbital energies in layered copper oxides
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has long been argued that the minimal model to describe the low-energy physics of the high T(c) superconducting cuprates must include copper states of other symmetries besides the canonical [see text] one, in particular the [see text] orbital. Experimental and theoretical estimates of the energy splitting of these states vary widely. With a novel ab initio quantum chemical computational scheme we determine these energies for a range of copper-oxides and -oxychlorides, determine trends with the apical Cu-ligand distances and find excellent agreement with recent Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering measurements, available for La(2)CuO(4), Sr(2)CuO(2)Cl(2), and CaCuO(2).

Ag2Cu3Cr2O8(OH)4, a new Ag-Cu-Cr-O layered mixed oxide, prepared by soft hydrothermal heterogeneous reactions, is reported. The new phase is an oxyhydroxide and presents a structure with alternating brucite-like Cu-O and Ag-O layers connected by individual chromate groups. The crystallographic structure has been solved and refined from high resolution powder X-ray diffraction data and is suppor...

متن کاملStructural stability and lattice defects in copper: Ab initio, tight-binding, and embedded-atom calculations
We evaluate the ability of the embedded-atom method ~EAM! potentials and the tight-binding ~TB! method to predict reliably energies and stability of nonequilibrium structures by taking Cu as a model material. Two EAM potentials are used here. One is constructed in this work by using more fitting parameters than usual and including ab initio energies in the fitting database. The other potential ...
