density functional theory (dft) calculations were performed to investigate the properties of planar, tubular and conical forms of silicon nanostructures. the evaluated parameters including averaged bond lengths, binding energies, gap energies and dipole moments were then evaluated for the optimized models of study. the results indicated that the bond lengths between silicon atoms are different ...

we have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the
-al2o3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (dft) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (fp-lapw) with generalized gradient approximation (gga) and by quasi-harmonic debye model. our calculated value for direct band gap of α-al2o3 is 7.2 ev which is v...

density functional theory (dft) based calculations have been performed to examine the relaxations of tautomers of 4–hydroxy–6–methylpyridin–2(1h)–one (mpo), as a representative of pyridinone derivatives, at the fullerene (c60) surfaces. optimized molecular properties including energies, dipole moments and atomic scale quadrupole coupling constants (cq) have been evaluated to investigate the str...

the adsorption of a number of amino acids on a defected single-walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) isinvestigated by using the density-functional theory (dft) calculations. the adsorption energies andequilibrium distances are calculated for various configurations such as amino acid attaching to defectsites heptagon, pentagon and hexagon in defective tube and also for several molecular orientationswi...

the electronic and magnetic properties of the hypothetical compounds of mc (m=al, ga and in) are investigated by using first-principle calculations and pseudopotential plane wave self-consistent field method based on density functional theory. in order to find the most stable phase of mc (m=al, ga and in), we study them in zinc-blende (zb), rocksalt (rs), wurtzite and nias crystal structures. w...

in this research dft/b3lyp method has been employed to investigate the geometrical structures,relative stabilities, and electronic properties of cun (n=3–10) clusters for clarifying the effect of sizeon the properties. through a careful analysis of the successive binding energies, second-orderdifference of energy and the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps as afunct...

separation and capture of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of power plants in order to reduceenvironmental damages has always been of interest to researchers. in this study, aqueous solution ofmethylamine was used as an absorbent for co2 capture. in order to study this reaction, densityfunctional theory (dft) was employed at the level of b3lyp/6-311++g(d,p) by using theconductor-like polarizabl...
