چکیده
Binding configurations, interface electronic structures, and magnetic properties of 3d transition-metal phthalocyanine (MPc, where M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn) molecular systems on a Au(111) substrate are systematically investigated with first-principles density functional theory calculations using the Perdew-Wang (PW91) exchange-correlation functional. We also calculate the corresponding properties of freestanding molecules and make comparisons between these two cases. It is found that MnPc, FePc, and CoPc have a stronger binding configuration than that of NiPc, CuPc, and ZnPc. For the magnetic properties of the MPc molecules, it is not affected after molecular adsorption, except for CoPc. In addition, for the adsorption properties of FePc on Au(111), we find that the low adsorption energy and small energy differences between different configurations allow the FePc molecules to diffuse easily on a Au(111) substrate at certain temperatures.

Investigation of effect of magnetic ordering on structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) using ab initio method
Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) were studied for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...

First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...
