BHS (Bachelet, Hamann, and Schlüter)-scheme and V (Vanderbilt)-modifications are used to derive the KB (Kleinman and Bylander)-pseudopotentials and pseudo wave functions of bismuth. Quality test of pseudopotentials shows that no ghost states occur in the logarithmic der ivatives of pseudo wave functions of Bismuth. The obtained bond length of bismuth dimer with this type of pseudopotentials is in good agreement with previous accurately calculate d ab initio quantum chemical result.展开更多

The calcula- tions were carried out with the full valence complete active space self-consistent field method followed by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration in- teraction (MRCI) approach in combination with correlation-consistent basis sets. Effects of the core-valence correlation and relativistic corrections on the PECs are taken into account. The core-valence correlation correction is carried out with the cc-pCVDZ basis set. The way to consider the relativistic correction is to use the second-order Douglas-Kroll Hamiltonian approximation, and the correction is performed at the level of cc-pV5Z basis set. To obtain more reliable results, the PECs determined by the MRCI calculations are also corrected for size-extensivity errors by means of the Davidson modification (MRCI+Q). These PECs are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit by the two-point energy extrapolation scheme. With these PECs, the spectroscopic parameters are determined.展开更多

The results have indicated that there is a distinct relationship between the protonation energy of nitrogen-containing compounds and their basicity. The more negative the protonation energy, the stronger the basicity is. It has been also found that aliphatic amines are more basic than pyridines or aromatic amines, and all these compounds are more basic than pyrroles. The addition of the aromatic rings can influence the basicity of anilines, while the 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic compounds function differently. The solvent properties may affect the basicity of these nitrogen-containing compounds.展开更多

The fluorinated graphene is an insulator and turns out to be a perfect matrix-host for patterning nanoroads and quantum dots of pristine graphene. The electronic and magnetic properties of the nanoroads can be tuned by varying the edge orientation and width. The energy gaps between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO) of quantum dots are size-dependent and show a confinement typical of Dirac fermions. Furthermore, we study the effect of different basic coverage of F on graphene (with stoichiometries CF and C4F) on the band gaps, and show the suitability of these materials to host quantum dots of graphene with unique electronic properties.展开更多
