  Ab initio investigation of Graphene Based Systems

  , http://www.nsti.org/procs/Nanotech2010v1/2/W40.311, Nanotech 2010, Publisher: Nano Science and Technology Institute, Pages: 296-299

  First-principles calculations employing the hybrid exchange functional B3LYP are used to determine the structural parameters, electronic structure and associated properties of a graphene sheet, graphane chair and graphane boat confirmations. Graphane is found to have a band gap corresponding to an electronic insulator at room temperature. The relative performance of the B3LYP functional in comparison to calculations employing generalized gradient approximations (PBE) is also assessed. The B3LYP functional finds the band gap to be almost double that predicted by PBE methods. The choice of functional is found to be insignificant in the determination of the structural parameters.

  Electronic structure of III-V’s semiconductors from B3LYP and PBE0 functionals

  , 29th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors, Publisher: American Institute of Physics, Pages: 65-66

  Details of the band gaps within semiconductor materials are of paramount importance to a wide range of technological applications. We present the results of two hybrid exchange, B3LYP and PBE0, approximations to density functional theory for the band gaps of zinc-blend and wurtzite structured III-V materials. Agreement with experimentally derived band gaps at characteristic points in the first Brillouin zone is at least as good as that obtained with correlated calculations, perturbation theories and screened exchange functionals. Using experimental lattice constancies for unite cells we conclude that B3LYP functional provides results on energy gaps that are close to experimental values than with PBE0.

  Experimentally determining the exchange parameters of quasi-two-dimensional Heisenberg magets

  , New Journal of Physics, Vol: 10, ISSN: 1367-2630

  Though long-range magnetic order cannot occur at temperatures T > 0 in a perfect two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg magnet, real quasi-2D materials will invariably possess nonzero inter-plane coupling J<inf>⊥</inf> driving the system to order at elevated temperatures. This process can be studied using quantum Monte Carlo calculations. However, it is difficult to test the results of these calculations experimentally since for highly anisotropic materials in which the in-plane coupling is comparable with attainable magnetic fields J <inf>⊥</inf> is necessarily very small and inaccessible directly. In addition, because of the large anisotropy, the Néel temperatures are low and difficult to determine from thermodynamic measurements. Here, we present an elegant method of assessing the calculations via two independent experimental probes: pulsed-field magnetization in fields of up to 85 T, and muon-spin rotation. We successfully demonstrate the application of this method for nine metalorganic Cu-based quasi-2D magnets with pyrazine (pyz) bridges. Our results suggest the superexchange efficiency of the [Cu(HF<inf>2</inf>) (pyz) <inf>2</inf>]X family of compounds (where X can be ClO<inf>4</inf>, BF <inf>4</inf>, PF<inf>6</inf>, SbF<inf>6</inf> and AsF<inf>6</inf>) might be controlled by the tilting of the pyz molecule with respect to the 2D planes. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.

  First principles characterisation of aluminium trifluoride catalysts

  , Journal of Physics Conference Series, Vol: 117, ISSN: 1742-6588

  The recently discovered high surface area AlF<inf>3</inf> catalyst is characterised with respect to surface composition and structure using calculations based on density functional theory. Under typical reaction conditions the surfaces are found to expose five fold coordinated Al reaction centres and to preferentially adsorb water. The acidic centres are probed using NH<inf>3</inf> adsorption which binds strongly indicating strong Lewis acidity. The predicted temperature probed desorption spectrum has features from competing surfaces and features due to strong intermolecular interactions, which are used to interpret the observed spectrum. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd.
