To model the alloys,16-atom supercells with the 2 × 2 × 2 dimensions are used and the dependency of the lattice parameter, bulk modulus,electronic structure, energy band gap, and optical bowing on the concentration x are analyzed. The results indicate that the ternary Tl_xGa_（1-x） As alloys have an average band gap bowing parameter of 4.48 eV for semiconductor alloys and 2.412 eV for semimetals. It is found that the band gap bowing strongly depends on composition and alloying a small Tl content with GaAs produces important modifications in the band structures of the alloys.展开更多

Results indicate that both states of FeCoSn show an Ni_2In-type hexagonal structure with a small amount of FeCo-rich secondary phase. The Curie temperatures are located at 257 K and 229 K, respectively. The corresponding magnetizations are 2.57 μB/f.u. and 2.94 μB/f.u. at 5 K with a field of 50 kOe（1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m^（-1））.

Based on the density functional theory, the electronic and crystal structures of lithium-alloyed Ge10H16 were investigated. The theoretical results indicate that the alloying of lithium with Ge10H16 will weaken the germanium-hydrogen bond and repel the closest germanium atom away from the alloyed lithium atom. Based on the maps of the electron density distribution, the nature of the lithium-germanium chemical bond was analyzed. Moreover, the diffusion process of the lithium on the Ge10H16 cluster was detected, which suggested that there is a close relationship between the diffusion barriers and the coordination number around the lithium atom.展开更多

It is revealed that the Co3Mo, CoMo, and CoMo3 alloys are energetically favored to be in D019, B11, and A15 structures, respectively,and that the magnetic moments of Co atoms would decrease rapidly with an increasing percentage of Mo content and would most probably disappear when the content of Mo is no less than 50 at%.

In an eff...Although already scientists in recent years have reported some experimental and theoretical results of LaNi-Al series of tritium-storage alloys, several key aspects remain the subject of considerable debate. In an effort to interpret some of these unknowns, we have performed experimental and theoretical investigations for LaNi（5-x）Alx（x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0） tritium-storage alloys. Firstly, the XRD characterization indicates that the unit cell volumes of LaNi（5-x）Alx increase with Al content in alloys. Secondly, the PCisotherm measurement of LaNi（5-x）Alxalloys shows that their hydrogen absorption/desorption plateau pressures reduce with the increase of Al content while their plateau widths narrow simultaneously. The deuterium absorption/desorption plateaus have a similar trend to hydrogen＇s except for their plateaus being higher than hydrogen＇s. To explain the above experimental findings, a series of calculations based on density functional theory（DFT） and frozen phonon approach have been performed. The results manifest that：（1） the partial substitutions of Al for Ni reduce the hydrogen formation energies of LaNi（5-x）AlxH and the number of available interstitial sites, and therefore lead to the absorption/desorption plateau pressures being reduced and the plateau widths being narrowed down at the same experimental temperatures;（2） the covalent interaction between H and Ni is an important factor for estimating the stability of LaNi（5-x）Alx-H system;（3） since the calculated enthalpy change H is generally more accurate than the calculated entropy change S with respect to the corresponding experimental value for each LaNi（5-x）AlxH（or D）, the curves of H vs. hydrogen storage capacity instead of Van＇t Hoff relation, can be used to predict the experimental plateau pressures of LaNi（5-x）Alx-H（D or T） at a given temperature;（4） the hydrogen isotope effect of LaNi（5-x）Alx-H（D or T） system can be quantitatively described as a linearity relation between ⊿ZPE ＋ ⊿H^（vib） and 1/√mQ（Q = H, D, T）. From the good agreement between the predicted and experimental ln（PH/P0） and ln（PD/P0）, it is deduced that predicting ln（PT/P0） of LaNi（5-x）Alx T is feasible. The procedure of pre-computing and comparing curves of H vs. hydrogen storage capacity proposed in this paper provided an attractive tool to increase the efficiency of experimental alloying design of hydrogen（deuterium or tritium） storage materials.展开更多

Moreover, the diffusion process of the lithium on the Ge10H16 cluster was detected, which suggested that there is a close relationship between the diffusion barriers and the coordination number around the lithium atom.

文摘We report a study of the electronic structure and optical properties of uranium dioxide （U02） based on the ab-initio density-functional theory and using the generalized gradient approximation. To correctly describe the strong correlation between 5 f electrons of a uranium atom, we employ the on-site Hubbard U correction term and optimize the correlation parameter of the bulk uranium dioxide. Then we give the structural and electronic properties of the ground state of uranium dioxide. Based on the accurate electronic structure, we calculate the complex dielectric function of UO2 and the related optieM properties, such as reflectivity, refractive index, extinction index, energy loss spectra, and absorption coefficient.

文摘First principles calculations are carried out to investigate the structural stability of several non-equilibrium intermetallic phases in the cobalt（Co）–Mo system using spin polarized projected augmented-wave potentials. It is revealed that the Co3Mo, CoMo, and CoMo3 alloys are energetically favored to be in D019, B11, and A15 structures, respectively,and that the magnetic moments of Co atoms would decrease rapidly with an increasing percentage of Mo content and would most probably disappear when the content of Mo is no less than 50 at%. Generally, the calculated results in the present work match well with the available experimental observations.

文摘Although already scientists in recent years have reported some experimental and theoretical results of LaNi-Al series of tritium-storage alloys, several key aspects remain the subject of considerable debate. In an effort to interpret some of these unknowns, we have performed experimental and theoretical investigations for LaNi（5-x）Alx（x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0） tritium-storage alloys. Firstly, the XRD characterization indicates that the unit cell volumes of LaNi（5-x）Alx increase with Al content in alloys. Secondly, the PCisotherm measurement of LaNi（5-x）Alxalloys shows that their hydrogen absorption/desorption plateau pressures reduce with the increase of Al content while their plateau widths narrow simultaneously. The deuterium absorption/desorption plateaus have a similar trend to hydrogen＇s except for their plateaus being higher than hydrogen＇s. To explain the above experimental findings, a series of calculations based on density functional theory（DFT） and frozen phonon approach have been performed. The results manifest that：（1） the partial substitutions of Al for Ni reduce the hydrogen formation energies of LaNi（5-x）AlxH and the number of available interstitial sites, and therefore lead to the absorption/desorption plateau pressures being reduced and the plateau widths being narrowed down at the same experimental temperatures;（2） the covalent interaction between H and Ni is an important factor for estimating the stability of LaNi（5-x）Alx-H system;（3） since the calculated enthalpy change H is generally more accurate than the calculated entropy change S with respect to the corresponding experimental value for each LaNi（5-x）AlxH（or D）, the curves of H vs. hydrogen storage capacity instead of Van＇t Hoff relation, can be used to predict the experimental plateau pressures of LaNi（5-x）Alx-H（D or T） at a given temperature;（4） the hydrogen isotope effect of LaNi（5-x）Alx-H（D or T） system can be quantitatively described as a linearity relation between ⊿ZPE ＋ ⊿H^（vib） and 1/√mQ（Q = H, D, T）. From the good agreement between the predicted and experimental ln（PH/P0） and ln（PD/P0）, it is deduced that predicting ln（PT/P0） of LaNi（5-x）Alx T is feasible. The procedure of pre-computing and comparing curves of H vs. hydrogen storage capacity proposed in this paper provided an attractive tool to increase the efficiency of experimental alloying design of hydrogen（deuterium or tritium） storage materials.
