First principles calculations of melting temperatures for free Na clusters
Density-functional simulations have been performed on Na55, Na92, and Na142 clusters in order to understand the experimentally observed melting properties fM. Schmidt et al., Nature sLondond 393, 238 s1998dg. The calculated melting temperatures are in excellent agreement with the experimental ones. The calculations reveal a rather subtle interplay between geometric and electronic shell effects,...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculations of optical properties: Application to silicon clusters
We have developed an ab initio method to calculate optical properties of crystals, clusters, and surfaces starting from their fully relaxed atomic configurations. The approach allows dealing with systems consisting of up to several hundred atoms per unit cell. We present results for silicon clusters consisting of 20, 60, and 70 atoms. We calculate the optical dielectric response function for cl...
متن کاملMetallothionein Zn2+- and Cu2+-clusters from first-principles calculations.
Detailed electronic structures of Zn(II) and Cu(II) clusters from metallothioneins (MT) have been obtained using density functional theory (DFT), in order to investigate how oxidative stress-caused Cu(II) intermediates affect Zn-binding to MT and cooperatively lead to Cu(I)MT. The inferred accuracy is ∼0.02-0.03 Å for metal-thiolate bond lengths for the models that are the most realistic MT mod...

متن کاملAqueous Stability of Alkali Superionic Conductors from First-Principles Calculations
Ceramic alkali superionic conductor solid electrolytes (SICEs) play a prominent role in the development of rechargeable alkali-ion batteries, ranging from replacement of organic electrolytes to being used as separators in aqueous batteries. The aqueous stability of SICEs is an important property in determining their applicability in various roles. In this work, we analyze the aqueous stability ...
