Ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the relative stability of anatase and rutile polymorphs of TiO2 were carried using all-electron atomic orbitals methods with local density approximation (LDA). The rutile phase exhibited a mod erate margin of stability of ~ 3 meV relative to the anatase phase in pristine material. From computational analysis of the formation energies of Si, Al, Fe and F dopants of various charge states across different Fermi level energies in anatase and in rutile, it was found that the cationic dopants are most stable in Ti substitutional lattice positions while formation energy is minimised for F- doping in interstitial positions. All dopants were found to considerably stabilise anatase relative to the rutile phase, suggesting the anatase to rutile phase transformation is inhibited in such systems with the dopants ranked F>Si>Fe>Al in order of anatase stabilisation strength. Al and Fe dopants were found to act as shallow acceptors with charge compensation achieved through the formation of mobile carriers rather than the formation of anion vacancies.
First-principles calculations using density functional theory based on norm-conserving pseudopotentials have been performed to investigate the Cs adsorption on the Si(001) surface for 0.5 and 1 ML coverages. We found that the saturation coverage corr esponds to 1 ML adsorption with two Cs atoms occupying the double layer model sites. While the 0.5 ML covered surface is of metallic nature, we found that 1 ML of Cs adsorption corresponds to saturation coverage and leads to a semiconducting surface. The results for the electronic behavior and surface work function suggest that adsorption of Cs takes place via polarized covalent bonding.
We present an ab initio study of dopant-dopant interactions in beryllium-doped InGaAs. We consider defect formation energies of various interstitial and substitutional defects and their combinations. We find that all substitutional-substitutional int eractions can be neglected. On the other hand, interactions involving an interstitial defect are significant. Specially, interstitial Be is stabilized by about 0.9/1.0 eV in the presence of one/two BeGa substitutionals. Ga interstitial is also substantially stabilized by Be interstitials. Two Be interstitials can form a metastable Be-Be-Ga complex with a dissociation energy of 0.26 eV/Be. Therefore, interstitial defects and defect-defect interactions should be considered in accurate models of Be doped InGaAs. We suggest that In and Ga should be treated as separate atoms and not lumped into a single effective group III element, as has been done before. We identified dopant-centred states which indicate the presence of other charge states at finite temperatures, specifically, the presence of Beint+1 (as opposed to Beint+2 at 0K).
We introduced a method to obtain the continuum description of the elastic properties of mono- layer h-BN through ab initio density functional theory. This thermodynamically rigorous contin- uum description of the elastic response is formulated by exp anding the elastic strain energy density in a Taylor series in strain truncated after the fifth-order term. we obtained a total of fourteen nonzero independent elastic constants for the up to tenth-order tensor. We predicted the pressure dependent second-order elastic moduli. This continuum formulation is suitable for incorporation into the finite element method.
We investigate the adsorption of a single tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) molecule on the silver (001) surface. Adsorption structures, electronic properties, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images are calculated within density-functional theory. Ad sorption occurs most favorably in on-top configuration, with the C=C double bond directly above a silver atom and the four N atoms bound to four neighboring Ag atoms. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of TCNE becomes occupied due to electron transfer from the substrate. This state dominates the electronic spectrum and the STM image at moderately negative bias. We discuss and employ a spatial extrapolation technique for the calculation of STM and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) images. Our calculated images are in good agreement with experimental data.
