This paper carries out the First principles calculation of the crystal structures （zinc blende （B3） and rocksalt （B1）） and phase transition of boron arsenic （BAs） based on the density-functional theory. Using the relation between enthalpy and pressure, it finds that the transition phase from the B3 structural to the B] structural occurs at the pressure of l13.42GPa. Then the elastic constants Cll, C12, C44, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young modulus, anisotropy factor, Kleinman parameter and Poisson ratio are discussed in detail for two polymorphs of BAs. The results of the structural parameters and elastic properties in B3 structure are in good agreement with the available theoretical and experimental values.
The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of small BnAl-（2〈n〈9）clusters are systematicalyy investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory. The results show that the A1 atom prefers to reside either on the outer-side or above the surface, but not in the centre of the clusters in all of the most stable BnAl-（2〈n〈9） isomers and the one excess electron is strong enough to modify the geometries of some specific sizes of the neutral clusters. All the results of the analysis for the fragmentation energies, the second-order difference of energies, and the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps show that B4A1- and B8A1- clusters each have a higher relative stability. Especially, the BsA1-cluster has the most enhanced chemical stability. Furthermore, both the local magnetic moments and the total magnetic moments display a pronounced oddeven oscillation with the number of boron atoms, and the magnetic effects arise mainly from the boron atoms except for the B7A1- and BgA1- clusters.
This paper applies the multiple ellipsoid model to the 16Ne （20Ne, 28Ne, 34Ne）-Na2 collision systems, and calcu- lates integral cross sections for rotational excitation at the incident energy of 190 meV. It can be seen that the accuracy of the integral cross sections can be improved by increasing the number of equipotential ellipsoid surfaces. Moreover, by analysing the differences of these integral cross sections, it obtains the change rules of the integral cross sections with the increase of rotational angular quantum number j＇, and with the change of the mass of isotope substitution neon atom. Finally, the contribution of different regions of the potential to inelastic cross sections for 20Ne-Na2 collision system is investigated at relative incident energy of 190 meV.
By using the B3P86/aug-cc-pvtz method, the accurate equilibrium geometry of the AlSO （Cs, X2AH） molecule has been calculated and compared with available theoreticM values. The obtained results show that the AlSO molecule has a most stable structure with bond lengths of ROA1= 0.1864 nm, ROS=0.1623 nm, RAIS=0.2450 nm, together with a dissociation energy of 13.88 eV. The possible electronic states and their reasonable dissociation limits for the ground state of the AlSO molecule were determined based on the principle of atomic and molecular reaction statics. The analytic potential energy function of the AlSO molecule was derived by the many-body expansion theory and the contour lines were constructed for the first time, which show the internal information of the AlSO molecule, including the equilibrium structure and stable point. The analysis demonstrates that the obtained potential energy function of AlSO is reaSonable and successful and the present investigations provide important insights for further study on molecular reaction dynamics.
This paper carries out first principles calculation of the structure, electronic and optical properties of BexZn1-xO alloys based on the density-functional theory for the compositions x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0. The lattice constants deviations of alloys obey Vegard＇s law well. The BexZn1-xO alloys have the direct band gap （Г-Г） character, and the bowing coefficients axe less than the available theoretical values. Moreover, it investigates in detail the optical properties （dielectric functions, absorption spectrum and refractive index） of these ternary mixed crystals. The obtained results agree well with the available theoretical and experimental values.
Orbital responses to methyl sites in CnH2n＋2 （n = 1-6） are studied by B3LYP/TZVP based on the most stable geometries using the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ method. Vertical ionization energies are produced using the SAOP/et-pVQZ model for the complete valence space. The highest occupied molecular orbital （HOMO） investigations indicate the p- electron profiles in methane, ethane, propane, and n-butane. By increasing the number of carbon-carbon bonds in lower momentum regions, the s, p-hybridized orbitals are built and display strong exchange and correlation interactions in lower momentum space （P 〈 0.50 a.u.）. Meanwhile, the relative intensities of the isomers in lower momentum space show the strong bonding number dependence of the carbon-carbon bonds, meaning that more electrons have contributed to orbital construction. The study of representative valence orbital momentum distribution further confirms that the structural changes lead to evident electronic rearrangement over the whole valence space. An analysis based on the isomers reveals that the valence orbitals are isomer-dependent and the valence ionization energy experiences an apparent shift in the inner valence space. However, such shifts are greatly reduced in the outer valence space. Meanwhile, the opposite energy shift trend is found in the intermediate valence space.
