The storage capacity of hydrogen on Na-decorated born nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) is investigated by using density functional theory within Quantum Espresso and Gaussian 09. The results obtained predict that a single Na atom tends to occupy above the central region of the hexagonal rings in (5,0) and (3,3) BNNT structures with a binding energy of -2.67 and -4.28 eV/Na-atom respectively. When a si...

Abstract: The opteoelectronical properties of B12N12 nano-cage was investigated in thepresent of some metals by density functional theory (DFT). After the adsorption of atoxic molecule with all complexes, the electronic properties in B11GeN12 nano-cagewere significantly increased. The UV-Vis adsorption and Infrared spectroscopy ofcyanogen chloride over the B11GeN12 have ...

ABSTRACT The main objective of this work is to investigate the adsorption of Pyrrole 2-carboxylic acid (PCA) from O, N and C sites on the surface of pristine and Ni doped B12N12 nano cage by using density functional theory (DFT). The results of adsorption energy indicate that the adsorption of PCA on the surface of B12N12 and NiB11N12 is exoth...

The adsorption of a Lennard-Jones fluid in an ideal slit pore is studied using weighted density functional theory. The intrinsic Helmholtz free-energy functional is separated into repulsive and attractive contributions. Rosenfeld's accurate fundamental measure functional is employed for the repulsive functional while another weighted density functional method is employed for the attractive func...

in this study, we present the work on the physicochemical interaction between the anti-cancer alkaloidberberine (brb) and dna with the purpose of designing drugs that interact more with dna. molecularmodeling on the complex formed between berberine and dna presented that this complex was undeniablyfully able of participating in the formation of a stable intercalation site. besides, the molecula...

in this research, we report the results of dft calculations using xc-hybrid functional, b3lyp and employ nbo interpretation to investigate the stereoelectronic effects. electrostatic and steric impacts on the conformational properties of 1,2-difluorodiazene (1), 1,2-dichlorodiazene (2) and 1,2-dibromodiazene (3) are also studied. factors determining the thermodynamically stable molecular struct...

We have performed a density functional theory investigation on the structural and electronic properties of pristine and Nitrogen-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles as the adsorbents for removal and degradation of hydrazine molecules in the environment. We have presented the most stable adsorption configurations and examined the interaction of hydrazine molecule with these doped and undoped nanopa...

adsorption of co2 on the surface of single-wall zigzag (5,0) and armchair (4,4) carbon nanotubes (swcnts) were studied through using density functional theory (dft) calculations. optimizations of geometric were performed at the b3pw91 level of 6-311++g** method standard basis set using gaussian 03 package of program [1]. structural models were optimized and adsorption energies, band gap, charge...
