چکیده
We present the results of ab initio DFT plane wave periodic structure calculations of the LaMnO3 (001) surface. The effects related to three different kinds of pseudopotentials, the slab thickness, magnetic ordering, and surface relaxation are studied and discussed. The antiferromagnetic surface lowest in energy (that is, the spins on Mn ions are parallel in basal plane and antiparallel from plane to plane) has a considerable atomic relaxation up to the fourth plane from the surface. The calculated (Bader) effective charges and the electronic density maps demonstrate a considerable reduction of the Mn atom ionicity on the surface accompanied by a covalent contribution to the Mn-O bonding.

We present and discuss the results of ab initio DFT plane-wave supercell calculations of the atomic and molecular oxygen adsorption and diffusion on the LaMnO(3) (001) surface which serves as a model material for a cathode of solid oxide fuel cells. The dissociative adsorption of O(2) molecules from the gas phase is energetically favorable on surface Mn ions even on a defect-free surface. The s...

Potassium Alanate is one of the goal candidates for hydrogen storage during past decades. In this report, initially the Density Functional Theory was applied to simulate the electronic and structural characteristic of the experimentally known KAlH4 complex hydride. The relaxation of unit cell parameters and atomic positions was performed until the total residual force reduced less than 0.001ev ...

The electronic, and optical properties of rhombohedral Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3nanostructured thin film have been studied by the first–principle approach. Densityfunctional theory (DFT) has been employed to calculate the fundamental properties ofthe layers using full–potential linearized augmented plane–wave (FPLAPW) method. A2×2×1 supercell was constructed with two vacuum slabs o...
متن کاملQuasiatomic orbitals for ab initio tight-binding analysis
Wave functions obtained from plane-wave density-functional theory (DFT) calculations using normconserving pseudopotential, ultrasoft pseudopotential, or projector augmented-wave method are efficiently and robustly transformed into a set of spatially localized nonorthogonal quasiatomic orbitals (QOs) with pseudoangular momentum quantum numbers. We demonstrate that these minimal-basis orbitals ca...
