Ab-initio study of Electronic, Optical, Dynamic and Thermoelectric properties of CuSbX2 (X=S,Se) compounds
Abstract: In this work we investigate the electronic, optical, dynamic and thermoelectric properties of ternary copper-based Chalcogenides CuSbX2 (X= S, Se) compounds. Calculations are based on density functional theory and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Computations have been carried out by using Quantum-Espresso (PWSCF) package and ab-initio pseudo-potential technique. To estimate the e...
متن کاملHigh-throughput and data mining with ab initio methods
Accurate ab initio methods for performing quantum mechanical calculations have been available for many years, but their speed, complexity and instability have generally constrained researchers to studying only a few systems at a time. However, advances in computer speed and ab initio algorithms have now created fast and robust codes, where large numbers of calculations can be performed automati...
متن کاملPrediction of the material with highest known melting point from ab initio molecular dynamics calculations
Using electronic structure calculations, we conduct an extensive investigation into the Hf-Ta-C system, which includes the compounds that have the highest melting points known to date. We identify three major chemical factors that contribute to the high melting temperatures. Based on these factors, we propose a class of materials that may possess even higher melting temperatures and explore it ...
متن کاملAb initio Study of Simple Mg-Ene Reactions of Propenyl Magnesium Halides and Ethylene (Type-I Intermolecular Reaction)
The insertion of an olefinic C=C bond into a metal-carbon bond is of potential interest as a preparativeroute to new products and as results of C-C coupling reactions to organic compounds. The allyl compoundsof Mg, react with an olefin by inversion of the allyl group via a six center transition state. These precyclicreactions may be one of the most important classes of organic reactions. The re...
متن کاملAB Initio Calculations and IR Studies of Tautometric forms of Uracil and Cytosine and comparing results in different temperatures (25˚C, 37˚C and 40˚C).
In this paper,the molecular geometry for three tautomers of uracil and four tautomers of cytosine has been analyzed. vibrational IR spectra of the tautomers were investigated at HF and B3LYP level using the AB initio 6-31G* and LANL2DZ basis sets from the program package Gaussian 98 (A.7 Public Domain version). The physico-chemical and biochemical properties of uracil and cytosine are one of...
