The electronic and structural properties of pristine and carbon doped (C-doped) boron nitride nano-ribbons(BNNRs) have been studied employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Total energies, gapenergies, dipole moments, and quadrupole coupling constants (qcc) have been calculated in the optimizedstructures of the investigated BNNRs. The results indicated that the stability and gap ...

This work presents a theory to unify the two independent theoretical frameworks of Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional (DFT) and reduced matrix (RDMFT). The generalization KS orbitals hypercomplex number systems leads (HCKS) theory, which extends search space for in KS-DFT that is equivalent natural spin with fractional occupations RDMFT. Thereby, HCKS able capture multi-reference nature strong c...

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...

in the present work, the electronic properties of titanium were studied in three phases of α, β and ω using the density function theory (dft). the full potential augmented plane wave plus local orbital (flapw+lo) method was applied using the generalized gradient approximation. the calculated total energies showed that omega phase was more stable than the two other phases. the largest electrical...
