Electronic structure and physical properties of the spinel-type phase of BeP{sub 2}N{sub 4} from all-electron density functional calculations

Journal Article Ching, W Y ; Aryal, Sitram ; Rulis, Paul ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Using density-functional-theory-based ab initio methods, the electronic structure and physical properties of the newly synthesized nitride BeP{sub 2}N{sub 4} with a phenakite-type structure and the predicted high-pressure spinel phase of BeP{sub 2}N{sub 4} are studied in detail. It is shown that both polymorphs are wide band-gap semiconductors with relatively small electron effective masses at the conduction-band minima. The spinel-type phase is more covalently bonded due to the increased number of P-N bonds for P at the octahedral sites. Calculations of mechanical properties indicate that the spinel-type polymorph is a promising superhard material with notably large bulk, shear, and Young's moduli.more »« less

Electronic Structure, Phonon Dynamical Properties, and ${CO}_{2}$ Capture Capability of ${Na}_{2 - x} M_{x} Zr O_{3}$ ( $M = Li$ ,K): Density-Functional Calculations and Experimental Validations

Journal Article Duan, Yuhua ; Lekse, Jonathan ; Wang, Xianfeng ; ... - Physical Review Applied

The electronic structural and phonon properties of Na_2-αM_αZrO₃ (M ¼ Li,K, α = ¼ 0.0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0) are investigated by first-principles density-functional theory and phonon dynamics. The thermodynamic properties of CO₂ absorption and desorption in these materials are also analyzed. With increasing doping level α, the binding energies of Na_2-αLi_αZrO₃ are increased while the binding energies of Na_2-α K_αZrO₃ are decreased to destabilize the structures. The calculated band structures and density of states also show that, at the same doping level, the doping sites play a significant role in the electronic properties. The phonon dispersion results show that few soft modes aremore »« less

Surface structure and equilibrium particle shape of the LiMn $_{2}$ O $_{4}$ spinel from first-principles calculations

Journal Article Karim, Altaf ; Fosse, Sonia ; Persson, Kristin A. - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

First-principles density functional calculations were used to calculate surface properties of the LiMn₂O₄ spinel. The calculations were benchmarked to obtain the correct semiconducting, Jahn-Teller distorted electronic ground state of bulk LiMn₂O₄ and, using the same parameters, the predominant low-index polar surface facets (100), (110), and (111) were calculated to study their structure and stability. Following an investigation of possible surface terminations as well as surface layer reconstructions we find that the (111) LMO surface stabilizes through a targeted site exchange of the undercoordinated surface Mn cations with fully coordinated tetrahedral subsurface Li cations, effectively creating a partial inverse spinel arrangementmore »« less
