Phonocatalysis. An ab initio simulation experiment

Journal Article Kim, Kwangnam ; Kaviany, Massoud - AIP Advances

Using simulations, we postulate and show that heterocatalysis on large-bandgap semiconductors can be controlled by substrate phonons, i.e., phonocatalysis. With ab initio calculations, including molecular dynamic simulations, the chemisorbed dissociation of XeF{sub 6} on h-BN surface leads to formation of XeF{sub 4} and two surface F/h-BN bonds. The reaction pathway and energies are evaluated, and the sorption and reaction emitted/absorbed phonons are identified through spectral analysis of the surface atomic motion. Due to large bandgap, the atomic vibration (phonon) energy transfer channels dominate and among them is the match between the F/h-BN covalent bond stretching and the optical phonons. Wemore »« less

Root-growth of boron nitride nanotubes: experiments and ab initio simulations

Journal Article Santra, Biswajit ; Ko, Hsin-Yu ; Yeh, Yao-Wen ; ... - Nanoscale

We have synthesized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in an arc in presence of boron and nitrogen species. We find that BNNTs are often attached to large nanoparticles, suggesting that root-growth is a likely mechanism for their formation. Moreover, the tube-end nanoparticles are composed of boron, without transition metals, indicating that transition metals are not necessary for the arc synthesis of BNNTs. To gain further insight into this process we have studied key mechanisms for root growth of BNNTs on the surface of a liquid boron droplet by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. We find that nitrogen atoms reside predominantly onmore »« less

Linking ab initio energetics to experiment: Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of transient enhanced diffusion of B in Si

Conference Theiss, S K ; Caturla, M J ; Diaz de la Rubia, T. ; ...

The authors have developed a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulator that links atomic migration and binding energies determined primarily from first principles calculations to macroscopic phenomena and laboratory time scales. Input for the kMC simulation is obtained from a combination of ab initio planewave pseudopotential calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, and experimental data. The simulator is validated against an extensive series of experimental studies of the diffusion of B spikes in self-implanted Si. The implant energy, dose, and dose rate, as well as the detailed thermal history of the sample, are included. Good agreement is obtained with the experimental data formore »« less
Electronic structure of TiO{sub 2} rutile with oxygen vacancies: Ab initio simulations and comparison with the experiment

Journal Article Perevalov, T. V., E-mail: timson@isp.nsc.ru ; Gritsenko, V. A., E-mail: grits@isp.nsc.ru - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The electronic structure of TiO{sub 2} rutile with oxygen vacancies, which is a promising insulator, has been analyzed. The ab initio density functional calculations, as well as the comparative analysis of the results obtained in the {sigma}-GGA spin-polarized generalized approximation and those obtained by the {sigma}-GGA + U method with allowance for Coulomb correlations of d electrons titanium atoms in the Hartree-Fock approximation for the Hubbard model, have been performed. It has been found that the effective electron mass in rutile is anisotropic and there are both light (m{sub e}{sup *} = (0.6-0.8)m{sub 0}, where m{sub 0} is the free-electronmore »« less
