  1. 6. Density Functional Theory in Computational Materials Science

    Author : Jorge Mario Osorio Guillén; Rajeev Ahuja; Börje Johansson; Bruce N. Harmon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Density Functional Theory; High Pressure; Phase Transitions; Elastic Properties; Lithium Batteries; Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The present thesis is concerned to the application of first-principles self-consistent total-energy calculations within the density functional theory on different topics in materials science. Crystallographic phase-transitions under high-pressure has been study for TiO2, FeI2, Fe3O4, Ti, the heavy alkali metals Cs and Rb, and C3N4. READ MORE

  2. 7. Redox Reactions of NO and O2 in Iron Enzymes : A Density Functional Theory Study

    Author : Mattias Blomberg; Per Siegbahn; Adrian Mulholland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzyme catalysis; redox reactions; cytochrome oxidase; nitric oxide reductase; hyponitrous acid anhydride; peroxynitrite; myoglobin; prostaglandin synthase; PGHS; NO; N2O; O2; CO; Chemical physics; Kemisk fysik;

    Abstract : In the present thesis the density functional B3LYP has been used to study reactions of NO and O2 in redox active enzymes.Reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important part in the bacterial energy conservation (denitrification). READ MORE

  3. 8. Van der Waals Interactions in Density Functional Theory

    Author : Erika Hult; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; van der Waals interaction; exchange-correlation energy; adhesion; intermolecular forces; physisorption; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Density functional theory is a very important method for calculating ground-state properties for atoms, molecules and solids. Albeit exact in principle, its implementation requires an approximation for the so-called exchange-correlation energy. READ MORE

  4. 9. Density Functional Theory Applied to Materials for Spintronics

    Author : Diana Mihaela Iusan; Olle Eriksson; Biplab Sanyal; Hiroshi Katayama-Yoshida; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spintronics; dilute magnetic semiconductors; density functional theory; exchange interactions; magnetic percolation; ordering temperature; disorder; electronic structure; Physics; Fysik; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : The properties of dilute magnetic semiconductors have been studied by combined ab initio, Monte Carlo, and experimental techniques. This class of materials could be very important for future spintronic devices, that offer enriched functionality by making use of both the spin and the charge of the electrons. READ MORE
