Electronic Structure Calculations of Static Hyper(Polarizabilities) of Substrate-Supported Group-IV and -V Elemental Monolayers.

ABSTRACT: The substrate-induced effects on the polarizability (α) and first dipole hyperpolarizability (β) of group-IV (i.e., graphene, silicene, germanene, stanene) and group-V (i.e., phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene, and bismuthene) elemental monolayer nanoflakes are investigated. Density functional theory calculations show that these monolayers are bound with varying degrees of interaction strength with the Ag(111) substrate surface. Calculated dipole moment and β values are zero for the centrosymmetric configurations of the pristine elemental monolayers. On the other hand, substrate-induced changes in the electronic densities at the interface lead to substantially enhanced values of β, making these materials attractive for applications in the next-generation photonic technologies at the nanoscale.

Ozonation of Group-IV Elemental Monolayers: A First-Principles Study.

Project description:Environmental effect on the physical and chemical properties of two-dimensional monolayers is a fundamental issue for their practical applications in nanoscale devices operating under ambient conditions. In this paper, we focus on the effect of ozone exposure on group-IV elemental monolayers. Using density functional theory and the climbing image nudged elastic band approach, calculations are performed to find the minimum energy path of O3-mediated oxidation of the group-IV monolayers, namely graphene, silicene, germanene, and stanene. Graphene and silicene are found to represent two end points of the ozonation process: the former showing resistance to oxidation with an energy barrier of 0.68 eV, while the latter exhibit a rapid, spontaneous dissociation of O3 into atomic oxygens accompanied by the formation of epoxide like Si-O-Si bonds. Germanene and stanene also form oxides when exposed to O3, but with a small energy barrier of about 0.3-0.4 eV. Analysis of the results via Bader's charge and density of states shows a higher degree of ionicity of the Si-O bond followed by Ge-O and Sn-O bonds relative to the C-O bond to be the primary factor leading to the distinct ozonation response of the studied group-IV monolayers. In summary, ozonation appears to open the band gap of the monolayers with semiconducting properties forming stable oxidized monolayers, which could likely affect group-IV monolayer-based electronic and photonic devices.

Exploring the Stability and Electronic Properties of Janus TMCSe Monolayers via DFT Calculations.

Project description:Janus monolayers are two-dimensional materials with distinct chemical compositions on their opposing sides, leading to unique properties and potential applications in various fields. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have explored the dynamic stability of a family of Janus monolayers with the general formula TMCSe (TM = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn). Only two explored systems were dynamically and thermal stable: CrCSe and MnCSe, as evidenced by their phonon dispersion curves and molecular dynamics calculations. Their electronic properties and magnetic character have been investigated using their corresponding density of states. The CrCSe monolayer is a 0.4 eV indirect semiconductor, and the magnetic MnCSe monolayer is spin-up metallic and a spin-down semimetal. Electrostatic potential isosurfaces are used to assess the reactivity of the stable monolayers. They indicate that the surfaces of the TMCSe structures are polarized, with the C side exhibiting a strong negative potential and the Se side displaying a more neutral character. This property may lead to applications in many fields, such as Li storage or toxic molecule trapping.

Quantum mechanical static dipole polarizabilities in the QM7b and AlphaML showcase databases.

Project description:While density functional theory (DFT) is often an accurate and efficient methodology for evaluating molecular properties such as energies and multipole moments, this approach often yields larger errors for response properties such as the dipole polarizability (α), which describes the tendency of a molecule to form an induced dipole moment in the presence of an electric field. In this work, we provide static α tensors (and other molecular properties such as total energy components, dipole and quadrupole moments, etc.) computed using quantum chemical (QC) and DFT methodologies for all 7,211 molecules in the QM7b database. We also provide the same quantities for the 52 molecules in the AlphaML showcase database, which includes the DNA/RNA nucleobases, uncharged amino acids, several open-chain and cyclic carbohydrates, five popular pharmaceutical molecules, and 23 isomers of C8Hn. All QC calculations were performed using linear-response coupled-cluster theory including single and double excitations (LR-CCSD), a sophisticated approach for electron correlation, and the d-aug-cc-pVDZ basis set to mitigate basis set incompleteness error. DFT calculations employed the B3LYP and SCAN0 hybrid functionals, in conjunction with d-aug-cc-pVDZ (B3LYP and SCAN0) and d-aug-cc-pVTZ (B3LYP).

Static Polarizabilities at the Basis Set Limit: A Benchmark of 124 Species.

Project description:Benchmarking molecular properties with Gaussian-type orbital (GTO) basis sets can be challenging, because one has to assume that the computed property is at the complete basis set (CBS) limit, without a robust measure of the error. Multiwavelet (MW) bases can be systematically improved with a controllable error, which eliminates the need for such assumptions. In this work, we have used MWs within Kohn-Sham density functional theory to compute static polarizabilities for a set of 92 closed-shell and 32 open-shell species. The results are compared to recent benchmark calculations employing the GTO-type aug-pc4 basis set. We observe discrepancies between GTO and MW results for several species, with open-shell systems showing the largest deviations. Based on linear response calculations, we show that these discrepancies originate from artifacts caused by the field strength and that several polarizabilies from a previous study were contaminated by higher order responses (hyperpolarizabilities). Based on our MW benchmark results, we can affirm that aug-pc4 is able to provide results close to the CBS limit, as long as finite difference effects can be controlled. However, we suggest that a better approach is to use MWs, which are able to yield precise finite difference polarizabilities even with small field strengths.

Static and dynamic friction in sliding colloidal monolayers.

Project description:In a pioneer experiment, Bohlein et al. realized the controlled sliding of two-dimensional colloidal crystals over laser-generated periodic or quasi-periodic potentials. Here we present realistic simulations and arguments that besides reproducing the main experimentally observed features give a first theoretical demonstration of the potential impact of colloid sliding in nanotribology. The free motion of solitons and antisolitons in the sliding of hard incommensurate crystals is contrasted with the soliton-antisoliton pair nucleation at the large static friction threshold F(s) when the two lattices are commensurate and pinned. The frictional work directly extracted from particles' velocities can be analyzed as a function of classic tribological parameters, including speed, spacing, and amplitude of the periodic potential (representing, respectively, the mismatch of the sliding interface and the corrugation, or "load"). These and other features suggestive of further experiments and insights promote colloid sliding to a unique friction study instrument.

Electronic and Magnetic Characterization of Epitaxial CrBr<sub>3</sub> Monolayers on a Superconducting Substrate.

Project description:The ability to imprint a given material property to another through a proximity effect in layered 2D materials has opened the way to the creation of designer materials. Here, molecular-beam epitaxy is used for direct synthesis of a superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructure by combining superconducting niobium diselenide (NbSe2 ) with the monolayer ferromagnetic chromium tribromide (CrBr3 ). Using different characterization techniques and density-functional theory calculations, it is confirmed that the CrBr3 monolayer retains its ferromagnetic ordering with a magnetocrystalline anisotropy favoring an out-of-plane spin orientation. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy measurements show a slight reduction of the superconducting gap of NbSe2 and the formation of a vortex lattice on the CrBr3 layer in experiments under an external magnetic field. The results contribute to the broader framework of exploiting proximity effects to realize novel phenomena in 2D heterostructures.

Elemental partitioning-mediated crystalline-to-amorphous phase transformation under quasi-static deformation.

Project description:The transformation induced plasticity phenomenon occurs when one phase transforms to another one during plastic deformation, which is usually diffusionless. Here we present elemental partitioning-mediated crystalline-to-amorphous phase transformation during quasi-static plastic deformation, in an alloy in form of a Cr-Ni-Co (crystalline)/Zr-Ti-Nb-Hf-Ni-Co (amorphous) nanolaminated composite, where the constitute elements of the two phases have large negative mixing enthalpy. Upon plastic deformation, atomic intermixing occurs between adjacent amorphous and crystalline phases due to extensive rearrangement of atoms at the interfaces. The large negative mixing enthalpy among the constituent elements promotes amorphous phase transformation of the original crystalline phase, which shows different composition and short-range-order structure compared with the other amorphous phase. The reduced size of the crystalline phase shortens mean-free-path of dislocations, facilitating strain hardening. The enthalpy-guided alloy design based on crystalline-to-amorphous phase transformation opens up an avenue for the development of crystal-glass composite alloys with ultrahigh strength and large plasticity.

The mechanical, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional honeycomb-like of XSb (X = Si, Ge, Sn) monolayers: a first-principles calculations.

Project description:Herein, by using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate a two-dimensional (2D) of XSb (X = Si, Ge, and Sn) monolayers that have a honey-like crystal structure. The structural, mechanical, electronic, thermoelectric efficiency, and optical properties of XSb monolayers are studied. Ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and phonon dispersion calculations suggests their good thermal and dynamical stabilities. The mechanical properties of XSb monolayers shows that the monolayers are considerably softer than graphene, and their in-plane stiffness decreases from SiSb to SnSb. Our results shows that the single layers of SiSb, GeSb and SnSb are semiconductor with band gap of 1.48, 0.77 and 0.73 eV, respectively. The optical analysis illustrate that the first absorption peaks of the SiSb, GeSb and SnSb monolayers along the in-plane polarization are located in visible range of light which may serve as a promising candidate to design advanced optoelectronic devices. Thermoelectric properties of the XSb monolayers, including Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, electronic thermal conductivity, power factor and figure of merit are calculated as a function of doping level at temperatures of 300 K and 800 K. Between the studied two-dimensional materials (2DM), SiSb single layer may be the most promising candidate for application in the thermoelectric generators.

Prediction of hydrogenated group IV-V hexagonal binary monolayers.

Project description:Group IV and V monolayers are very crucial 2D materials for their high carrier mobilities, tunable band gaps, and optical linear dichroism. Very recently, a novel group IV-V binary compound, [Formula: see text], has been synthesized on silicon substrate, and has shown very interesting electronic properties. Further investigations have revealed that the monolayer would be stable in freestanding form by hydrogenation. Inspired by this, by means of first-principles calculations, we systematically predict and investigate eight counterparts of [Formula: see text], namely [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. The cohesive energies, phonon dispersions, and AIMD calculations show that, similar to [Formula: see text], all of these freestanding monolayers are stable in hydrogenated form. These hydrogenated monolayers are semiconductors with wide band gaps, which are favorable for opto-electronic purposes. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] structures possess indirect and direct band gaps, respectively. They represent very interesting optical characteristics, such as good absorption in the visible region and linear dichroism, which are crucial for solar cell and beam-splitting devices, respectively. Finally, the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] monolayers have suitable band gaps and band edge positions for photocatalytic water splitting. Summarily, our investigations offer very interesting and promising properties for this family of binary compounds. We hope that our predictions open ways to new experimental studies and fabrication of suitable 2D materials for next generation opto-electronic and photocatalytic devices.

Stereo-electronic, vibrational, and environmental contributions to polarizabilities of large molecular systems: a feasible anharmonic protocol.

Project description:Reliable computations of linear and non-linear optical properties of molecular systems in condensed phases require a proper account of stereo-electronic, vibrational, and environmental effects. In the framework of density functional theory, these effects can be accurately introduced using second-order vibrational perturbation theory in conjunction with polarizable continuum models. We illustrate the combination of an anharmonic description of the ground-state potential energy surface with solvation effects treated with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) in the calculation of the electronic, zero-point, and pure vibrational polarizabilities of selected systems. The description of the solvation environment is enriched by taking into account the dynamical aspects of the solute-solvent interactions through the inclusion of both electronic and vibrational non-equilbrium effects, as well as the direct effect of the solvent on the electric field that generates the molecular response (local field effect). This treatment yields accurate results which can be directly compared with experimental findings without the need of empirical corrections.
