Effects of disorder in metallic systems from First-Principles calculations
In this thesis, quantum-mechanical calculations within density-functional theory on metallic systems are presented. The overarching goal has been to investigate effects of disorder. In particular, one of the properties investigated is the bindingenergy shifts for core electrons in binary alloys using different theoretical methods. These methods are compared with each other and with experimental...

متن کاملInteraction of nucleobases with silicon nanowires: A first-principles study
The interaction between the nucleic acid bases – adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U) – and a hydrogen-passivated silicon nanowire (SiNW) is investigated within the framework of density functional theory. The calculated binding energy of the nucleic acid bases with the SiNW shows the order: G > A C T U. This suggests that the interaction strength of a hydrogen pass...
متن کاملMechanics of Silicon Nanowires: Size-Dependent Elasticity From First Principles
We review our recent work on the mechanics of silicon nanowires based on first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We focus especially on the size dependence of the Young’s modulus, but also comment on the size dependence of the residual stress and the equilibrium length of the hydrogen-passivated Si nanowires. We compare these results to prior results from classical molecu...
متن کاملHeat transport in silicon from first-principles calculations
Using harmonic and anharmonic force constants extracted from density functional calculations within a supercell, we have developed a relatively simple but general method to compute thermodynamic and thermal properties of any crystal. First, from the harmonic, cubic, and quartic force constants, we construct a force field for molecular dynamics. It is exact in the limit of small atomic displacem...
