Unusual hydrogen peroxide decomposition on stoichiometric insulating oxide ultrathin films
The hydrogen peroxide dissociation on MgO(001) films deposited on Mo(001) surface is investigated by employing periodic density-functional theory methods. The pristine MgO(001) surface showing chemical inertness prefers the weak adsorbing molecular configuration and is extremely difficult to react with hydrogen peroxide. As far as we know, energetically favorable decomposition state of hydrogen...
متن کاملFirst Principle Study of MC (M= Al, Ga, and In) at Equilibrium and under Negative Stress
The electronic and magnetic properties of the hypothetical compounds of MC (M=Al, Ga and In) are investigated by using first-principle calculations and pseudopotential plane wave self-consistent field method based on density functional theory. In order to find the most stable phase of MC (M=Al, Ga and In), we study them in zinc-blende (ZB), rocksalt (RS), wurtzite and NiAs crystal structures. W...
متن کاملHalf-metallic properties of KP compound in a bulk and (001) surface of rock-salt structure: A b-initio study
Given the many applications of half-metals in the spintronics devices, we investigated the half-metallic properties of the KP compound in rock-salt (RS) and cesium chloride (CsCl) structural phases by using density functional theory. The results indicated that the KP compound as the half-metal in the RS structure, in contrast to the CsCl structure, due to the small lattice constant and failure ...
متن کاملAnisotropic optical properties of Fe/GaAs(001) nanolayers from first principles
We investigate the anisotropy of the optical properties of thin Fe films on GaAs(001) from first-principles calculations. Both intrinsic and magnetization-induced anisotropy are covered by studying the system in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and external magnetic fields. We use the linearized augmented plane wave method, as implemented in the WIEN2K density functional theory code, to show...
متن کاملA Density Functional Theory Study of Structure of Phosphonic Acid
The molecular structure of the stable conformation of phosphonic acid in gas phase has beencomputed by employing complete geometry optimization in Density Functional Theory(DFT) methods. The methods used for calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that havebeen studied in two series of basis sets: D95** and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygenatoms; LANL2DZ for phosphorus. Bond lengths and angle...
