Based on an iterative algorithm, the surfaces(SURF) program adds automatic points to the lattice representation of the potential function, the one-dimensional and two-dimensional PESs are calculated after reaching a convergence threshold, finally the smooth image of the potential energy surface is fitted. The PESs accurately account for the interaction between the different modes, with the mode q_(6) symmetrical stretching vibrations having the greatest effect on the potential energy change of the whole system throughout the potential energy surface shift. The anharmonic frequencies are obtained when the VCI matrix is diagonalized. Fundamental frequencies, overtones, and combination bands of NF_(3)^(+) are calculated, which generate the degenerate phenomenon between their frequencies. Finally, the calculated anharmonic frequency is used to plot the infrared spectra.Modal antisymmetric stretching ν_(5) and symmetric stretching ν_(6) exhibit a phenomenon of large-intensity borrowing. This study can provide data to support the characterization in the laboratory.展开更多

Tile Kohn Sham equations are solved by applying the full potential linearized augmented plane wave （FP-LAPW） method. The exchange correlation effects are included through the local density approximation （LDA ）, generalized gradient approximation （GGA） and modified Becke-Johnson （mBJ） exchange potential The calculated lattice constant is in good agreement with the experimental result. The elastic properties such as elastic constants, anisotropy factor, shear modulus, Young＇s modulus and Poisson＇s ratio are calculated. KCdF3 is ductile and elastically anisotropic. The calculations of the electronic band structure, density of states （DOS） and charge density show that this compound has an indirect energy band gap （M-F） with a mixed ionic and covalent bonding. The contribution of the different bands is analyzed from the total and partial density of states curves. Optical response of the dielectric functions, optical reflectivity, absorption coefficient, real part of optical conductivity, refractive index, extinction coefficient and electron energy loss, are presented for the energy range of O-40eV. The compound KCdF3 can be used for high-frequency optical and optoelectronic devices.展开更多

The two reaction paths have been discussed. The calculated potential energy barriers for the carbonyl migration and the ethyl group migration are 105. 0 kJ/mol and 39. 17 kJ/mol, respectively. The results indicate that the reaction path via ethyl migration is more energetically favorable than that via carbonyl insertion.展开更多

The theoretical tensile strengths are calculated to be 25.3 GPa, 5.9 GPa, and 37.6 GPa for the fcc Cu single crystal in the [001], [110], and [111] directions, respectively. Among the three directions, the [110] direction is the weakest one due to the occurrence of structure transition at the lower strain and the weakest interaction of atoms between the （110） planes, while the [111] direction is the strongest direction because of the strongest interaction of atoms between the （111） planes. In terms of the elastic constants of Cu single crystal, we also estimate some mechanical quantities of polycrystalline Cu, including bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young＇s modulus Ep, and Poisson＇s ratio ~.展开更多

Our nonrelativistic calculations utilized a local density approximation (LDA) potential and the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). The key distinction of our calculations from other DFT calculations is the implementation of the Bagayoko, Zhao and Williams (BZW) method, as enhanced by Ekuma and Franklin (BZW-EF), in the LCAO formalism. Our calculated, indirect band gap is 5.46 eV, from Γto a conduction band minimum between Г and X, for a room temperature lattice constant of 5.152 Å. Available, room temperature experimental band gaps of 5.5 (direct) and 4 - 4.5 (unspecified) point to the need for additional measurements of this gap. Our calculated bulk modulus of 92.35 GPa is in excellent agreement with experiment (92.2 ±?1.8 GPa). Our predicted equilibrium lattice constant and band gap, at zero temperature, are 5.0438 Åand 5.4 eV, respectively.展开更多
