The absorption energy of atomic hydrogen at rotated graphene bilayers is studied using ab initio methods based on the density functional theory including van der Waals interactions. We find that, due to the surface corrugation induced by…

An H atom inserted into hydrogen monolayer on the Si(100)-2x1 surface has been studied using the density functional theory. Hydrogen-induced defects were considered in their neutral, negative, and positive charge states. It was found that…

First-principles calculation has been performed to investigate the stability and electronic properties of double-layer graphene heterostructure (DLGH). In this system, two graphene layers are separated by hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN)…

The shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is essential for reducing global carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Developing advanced materials for efficient hydrogen storage enables sustainable energy solutions in…

The fluorination of mono- and bi-layer graphene have been studied by means of ab-initio DFT calculations. The stability of CF$_x$ systems are found to depend on both the F coverage and on the position of the F atoms regarding the C…

In this work, we employ density functional theory (DFT) to explore the structure of boron clusters doped with two aluminium atoms (B$_7$Al$_2$ or Al$_2$B$_7$). The results show that the most stable structure is a bipyramidal configuration…

Recently, the hydrogen adsorption and diffusion on the CeO2 (111) surface have been a vividly discussed topic because of its outstanding catalytic activity and selectivity in hydrogenation reactions. However, for the strongly reduced CeO2…

We have investigated the lowest-energy structures and electronic properties of the Au$_n$(n=2-20) clusters based on density functional theory (DFT) with local density approximation. The small Au$_n$ clusters adopt planar structures up to…

Adsorption of gaseous species, and in particular of hydrogen atoms, on graphene is an important process for the chemistry of this material. At the equilibrium geometry, the H atom is covalently bonded to a carbon that puckers out from the…

We have mapped over 50 massive, dense clumps with four dense gas tracers: HCN J=1-0 and 3-2; and CS J=2-1 and 7-6 transitions. Spectral lines of optically thin H^{13}CN 3-2 and C^{34}S 5-4 were also obtained towards the map centers. These…

Graphene sheets with regular perforations, dubbed as antidot lattices, have theoretically been predicted to have a number of interesting properties. Their recent experimental realization with lattice constants below 100 nanometers stresses…

Intermetallic compounds such as {A$_{2}$B$_{7}$} alloys are promising candidates for mobile hydrogen storage applications due to their high and reversible hydrogen absorption capacity. We compute the absorption isotherm of…

The first-principle prediction of nanocluster stable structure is often hampered by the existence of many isomer configurations with energies close to the ground state. This fact attaches additional importance to many-electron effects going…
