Remarkable Hydrogen Storage on Beryllium Oxide Clusters: First Principles Calculations

open access: yes, 2016
Since the current transportation sector is the largest consumer of oil, and subsequently responsible for major air pollutants, it is inevitable to use alternative renewable sources of energies for vehicular applications. The hydrogen energy seems to be a

Elastic properties of superconducting MAX phases from first principles calculations

open access: yes, 2010
Using first-principles density functional calculations, a systematic study on the elastic properties for all known superconducting MAX phases (Nb2SC, Nb2SnC, Nb2AsC, Nb2InC, Mo2GaC and Ti2InC) was performed. As a result, the optimized lattice parameters,

Crystals from metallic clusters: A first-principles calculation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 1993
The interactions of the ``magic'' ${\mathrm{Al}}_{12}$Si clusters are studied by first-principles electron-structure calculations. It is shown that clusters arranged into the fcc lattice do not conserve their separated-cluster icosahedral structure but coalesce to form a close-packed metal.

Characterization of platinum nitride from first-principles calculations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
We have performed a systematic study of the ground state properties of the zinc-blende, rock-salt, tetragonal, cuprite, fluorite and pyrite phases of platinum nitride by using the plane wave pseudopotential calculations within the density functional theory. The equilibrium structural parameters and bulk moduli are computed within both the local density

First-principles electronic-band calculations on organic conductors

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2009
Predicting electronic-band structures is a key issue in understanding the properties of materials or in materials design. In this review article, application examples of first-principles calculations, which are not based on adjustable empirical ...
