The curve of the total energy versus the internuclear distance R for this structure has been calculated by the method of a modified arrangement channel quantum mechanics. The result shows that the curve has a minimal -7.81373 a. u at R = 1.55 a(0). The binding energy of He-3(+) with respect to He+He++He was calculated to be 0.1064 a.u. (about 2.89 eV).

The curve of the total energy versus the interatomic distance for this structure has been calculated by using the method of Gou's Modified Arrangement Channel Quantum Mechanics. The result shows that the curve has a minimal energy of-22.338 60 a.u at R = 5.82 ao. The total energy of Lia when R approaches co has the value of-22.284 09 a.u. This is also the total energy of three lithium atoms dissociated from Lia. The difference value of 0.0545 08 a.u. for the above two energy values is the dissociation energy of Li3 cluster, which is also its binding energy. Therefore the binding energy per lithium atom for Lia is 0.018 169 a.u. = 0.494 eV, which is greater than the binding energy of 0.453 eV per atom for Li2 calculated in a previous work. This means that the Li3 cluster may be formed in the equilateral triangle structure of side length R = 5.82ao stably with a stronger binding from the symmetrical interaction among the three lithium atoms.展开更多

It was suspected by Gamow to be of van der Waals type, found here to be deuteron bonds. The binding energy per nucleon, in absolute value, of an α-particle is larger than any other combination of 4 nucleons. Therefore, the binding energy per nucleon is low for odd-odd N = Z nuclei and maximum for even-even N = Z nuclei. The assumption of N = Z nuclei to be an assembly of α-particles and deuteron bonds predicts the binding energy of the 32 first N = Z nuclei with a rms deviation of 0.25 MeV.展开更多

In some cases the frequency calculations and basis set superposition error corrections were included. For all the complexes under the study, the linear structures were found to be the equilibrium structure. The distances of M+—O in R(M+—O) in which M has 4s electrons are obvious longer than those in which M has no 4s electrons, and from Sc to Zn the change trend is decreased, accompanied with some oscillation. The binding energy has an opposite change trend to that of the R(M+—O). Linear M+CO2 has the same spin as M+, while Tshape structures may have different spins. The static electronic interaction was found to be about 80% of the total binding energy.展开更多

In this work, we report a systematic ab initio study on the conformations and metal ion affinities of glutamine (Gln) binding with alkali and alkaline earth metal ions. An efficient and reliable method of searching low energy conformations of metalated Gln is proposed and applied to the complexes of Gln.Gln.M^+/++(M+/++=Li^+、Na^+、K^+、Rb^+、Cs^+、Be^++、Mg^++、Ca^++、Sr^++ and Ba^++).. In addition to all conformers known in literatures, many new important conformations are located, demonstrating the power of the new method and the necessity of the conformational search performed here. The metal coordination modes, relative energies, dipole moments, and equilibrium distributions of all important conformations of Gln.M^+/++ are calculated by the methods of B3LYP, BHandHLYP, and MP2. IR spectra and metalation enthalpies and free energies are also presented and compared with the available experiments.

The reason why Mn and Si elements have different influences on the stacking fault energy may be related to the electron concentration (e/a). Si reduces the hole number of 3d band while Mn is rather complicated. The binding energy has been calculated and the experimental results that martensite start temperature (Ms) varies with SI and Mn are explained. When the external stress is exerted in three directions, the electronic structure, the total density of states, the energy gap at Fermi energy level(E F) and the energy degeneracy will change into other states. When the different external stresses are exerted in one direction, 3d or 4s orbital occupations of the central atom decrease, the partial density of states seems to be thinner and its peak increases atE F, the bond orbit shrinks in the direction of the external stress and another bond orbit comes out vertically. These lead to an a decrease in the structural stability and an increase In Ms temperature under the extemal stress.展开更多

The results demonstrate that the oxygen 2p and manganese 3d orbitals are strongly hybridized. Considering the on-site Coulomb interaction U, we performed the GGA+U calculations for 0 〈 U ≤8 eV, and it is found that the increase of U could enlarge the band gap and, on the other hand, weaken the Mn-O hybridization. The experimental measurements of the electron energy-loss spectrometry (EELS) exhibit a rich variety of structural features in both O-K edge and Mn-L edges. A theoretical and experimental analysis on the O-K edge suggests that the on-site Coulomb interaction (U) in YMn2O5 could be less than 4 eV. Certain electronic structural features of LaMn2O5 have been discussed in comparison with those of YMn2O5.展开更多

The results demonstrate that the oxygen 2p and manganese 3d orbitals are strongly hybridized. Considering the on-site Coulomb interaction U, we performed the GGA+U calculations for 0 〈 U ≤8 eV, and it is found that the increase of U could enlarge the band gap and, on the other hand, weaken the Mn-O hybridization. The experimental measurements of the electron energy-loss spectrometry (EELS) exhibit a rich variety of structural features in both O-K edge and Mn-L edges. A theoretical and experimental analysis on the O-K edge suggests that the on-site Coulomb interaction (U) in YMn2O5 could be less than 4 eV. Certain electronic structural features of LaMn2O5 have been discussed in comparison with those of YMn2O5.
