Hydrogen segregation to vacancies in the surface and subsurface layers of (111) and (100) surfaces of Pd is studied in the density functional theory (DFT) approach. Adsorption energies and configurations of various clusters of H atoms at…
We have studied solid hydrogen up to pressures of 300 GPa and temperatures of 350 K using density functional theory methods and have found "mixed structures" that are more stable than those predicted earlier. Mixed structures consist of…
We have carried out a density functional theory study on the structures of DMSO clusters and analysed the structure and their stability using molecular electrostatic potential and quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules (QTAIM). The ground…
Quasi free standing monolayer graphene (QFMLG) grown on SiC by selective Si evaporation from the Si-rich SiC(0001) face and H intercalation displays irregularities in STM and AFM analysis, appearing as localized features, which we…
Free standing silicene is predicted to display comparable electronic properties as graphene. However, the yet synthesized silicene-like structures have been only realized on different substrates which turned out to exhibit versatile…
Hydrogenated silicenes possess peculiar properties owing to the strong H-Si bonds, as revealed by an investigation using first principles calculations. The various charge distributions, bond lengths, energy bands, and densities of states…
A class of highly symmetric silicon carbide fullerene-like cage nanoclusters with carbon atoms inside the Si_20 cage and with high stability are presented. The Generalized Gradient Approximation of Density Functional Theory (GGA-DFT) is…
In contrast to the original Kohn-Sham (KS) formalism, we propose a density functional theory (DFT) with fractional orbital occupations for the study of ground states of many-electron systems, wherein strong static correlation is shown to be…
Control of dopants in silicon remains the most important approach to tailoring the properties of electronic materials for integrated circuits, with Group V impurities the most important n-type dopants. At the same time, silicon is finding…
The ongoing scientific interest in the properties and structure of electric double layers (EDLs) stems from their pivotal role in (super)capacitive energy storage, energy harvesting, and water treatment technologies. Classical density…
DFT calculations performed on Si_2H_6, Si_2F_6, Si_2Cl_6, and Si_2Br_6 are reported. The evolution of the energy, the chemical potential and the molecular hardness, as a function of torsion angle, is studied. Results at the…
We have studied hydrogen/lithium complexes in crystalline silicon using density-functional-theory methods and the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method for predicting structures. A method based on the Maxwell construction and…
Two-dimensional mixtures of dipolar colloidal particles with different dipole moments exhibit extremely rich self-assembly behaviour and are relevant to a wide range of experimental systems, including charged and super-paramagnetic colloids…
Isolated hydrogen and hydrogen pairs in bulk diamond matrix have been studied using density functional theory calculations. The electronic structure and stability of isolated and paired hydrogen defects are investigated at different…
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…
Density functional theory calculations have been performed on Indium nanoclusters (Inn, n= 3 to 10) to explore the relative stability among their different isomers and interaction with H2. Geometry optimizations starting from initial…
We report the first observation of substitutional silicon atoms in single-layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The medium angle annular dark field (MAADF) images…
Structure, stability and reactivity of clathrate hydrates with or without hydrogen encapsulation are studied using standard density functional calculations. Conceptual density functional theory based reactivity descriptors and the…
A geometry-based density functional theory is presented for mixtures of hard spheres, hard needles and hard platelets; both the needles and the platelets are taken to be of vanishing thickness. Geometrical weight functions that are…
A systematic study of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of cage-like boron clusters, with the number of constituent atoms ranging from 20 to 122, has been carried out within the framework of density-functional theory (DFT),…
