Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of the static, dynamic and electronic properties of liquid lead using real-space pseudopotentials

Journal Article Alemany, Manuel M. G. ; Longo, Roberto ; Gallego, Luis ; ... - Physical Review B

We performed a comprehensive study of the static, dynamic and electronic properties of liquid Pb at T = 650 kelvins, density 0.0309 angstroms^{-3} by means of 216-particle ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on a real-space implementation of pseudopotentials constructed within density-functional theory. The predicted results and available experimental data are very in good agreement, which confirms the adequacy of this technique to achieve a reliable description of the behavior of liquid metals, including their dynamic properties. Although some of the computed properties of liquid Pb are similar to those of simple liquid metals, others differ markedly. Our results showmore »« less

Ab initio Modeling of the Electronic Structures and Physical Properties of a‐Si _{1− x} Ge _x O ₂ Glass ( x = 0 to 1)

Journal Article Baral, Khagendra ; Adhikari, Puja ; Ching, Wai‐Yim ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

The amorphous silica (a‐SiO ₂ ) and germania (a‐GeO ₂ ) have a wide range of applications in glass industry. Based on a previously constructed near‐perfect continuous random network model with 1296 atoms and periodic boundary conditions, we extend our study to amorphous Si ₁₋ _x G e _x O ₂ models of homogeneous random substitution of Si by Ge with x ranging from 0 to 1. We have calculated the structural, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties for the series by using the first‐principles density functional theory methods. The x ‐dependence of the variations in themore »« less

Real-space pseudopotential study of vibrational properties and Raman spectra in Si–Ge core-shell nanocrystals

Journal Article Bobbitt, N. Scott ; Chelikowsky, James R. - Journal of Chemical Physics

We examine the vibrational properties and Raman spectra of Si–Ge core-shell nanostructures using real-space pseudopotentials constructed within density functional theory. Our method uses no empirical parameters, unlike many popular methods for predicting Raman spectra for nanocrystals. Here, we find the dominant features of the Raman spectrum for the Si–Ge core-shell structure to be a superposition of the Raman spectra of the Ge and Si nanocrystals with optical peaks around 300 and 500 cm^-1, respectively. We also find a Si–Ge “interface” peak at 400 cm^-1. The Ge shell causes the Si core to expand from the equilibrium structure. This strain inducesmore »« less

Dielectric screening and vacancy formation for large neutral and charged Si n H m ( n > 1500 ) nanocrystals using real-space pseudopotentials

Journal Article Liao, Timothy ; Liou, Kai-Hsin ; Chelikowsky, James R. - Physical Review Materials

A commonly used procedure for computing the properties of defects in crystalline materials is to consider a large supercell that includes the defect of interest. This is a straightforward technique as standard energy band codes can be used for such computations. For neutral defects, the only impediment of such an approach is to avoid defect-defect interactions between adjoining cells. However, this procedure can be complex if the defect of interest is charged as the system at large contains Coulombic divergences. Moreover, some have recently argued that the conventional definition of formation energies for charged defects cannot be reconciled with statisticalmore »« less
