Energy landscape of fullerene materials: a comparison of boron to boron nitride and carbon.
Using the minima hopping global geometry optimization method on the density functional potential energy surface we show that the energy landscape of boron clusters is glasslike. Larger boron clusters have many structures which are lower in energy than the cages. This is in contrast to carbon and boron nitride systems which can be clearly identified as structure seekers. The differences in the p...
متن کاملContinuum modelling for carbon and boron nitride nanostructures.
Continuum based models are presented here for certain boron nitride and carbon nanostructures. In particular, certain fullerene interactions, C(60)-C(60), B(36)N(36)-B(36)N(36) and C(60)-B(36)N(36), and fullerene-nanotube oscillator interactions, C(60)-boron nitride nanotube, C(60)-carbon nanotube, B(36)N(36)-boron nitride nanotube and B(36)N(36)-carbon nanotube, are studied using the Lennard-...
متن کاملAnalogies between boron and carbon.
The structural connections between the compounds of boron and carbon are extended using the mno rule beyond the borane-carbocation continuum, the lithium boride-polycarbyne analogy, and the magnesium boride (MgB(2))-graphite equivalence to beta-rhombohedral boron and fullerenes. The structural similarity of the pentagonal pyramidal C(6)H(6)(2+) and MgB(4) is established. An interesting electron...
متن کاملSynthesis of borophenes: Anisotropic, two-dimensional boron polymorphs.
At the atomic-cluster scale, pure boron is markedly similar to carbon, forming simple planar molecules and cage-like fullerenes. Theoretical studies predict that two-dimensional (2D) boron sheets will adopt an atomic configuration similar to that of boron atomic clusters. We synthesized atomically thin, crystalline 2D boron sheets (i.e., borophene) on silver surfaces under ultrahigh-vacuum cond...
متن کاملJahn – Teller instability in cationic boron and carbon buckyballs B 80 + and C 60 + : a comparative study † Jules
using different DFT methods including B3LYP/6-31G(d), VWN/6-31G(d), PBE/TZP and PBE/6-31G(d) shows that, contrary to C60 , which prefers D5d symmetry, the ground state of B80 + adopts S6 point group symmetry. A D3d structure is identified as a saddle point among the S6 minima of B80 . The distortion of D3d to S6 in B80 + is attributed to a superposition of Jahn–Teller and pseudo-Jahn–Teller eff...
