Structure and Properties of (BN)25 Clusters
HE Zhiwei, ZHANG Xiurong
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2019, 36 (2): 219-224.   DOI: 10.19596/j.cnki.1001-246x.7835
Abstract333)   HTML0)    PDF (2120KB)(1591)      
Geometries, stabilities, NBO, vibrational spectroscopy and NICS of (BN)25 clusters were optimized in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) through the use of B3LYP hybrid functional associated with 6-31G(d) basis sets. We found that (BN)25 clusters is stable due to its large average binding energy and energy gap. Charge transfer and s, p hybridization between adjacent B and N atoms are confirmed by NBO analysis. Many vibration peaks are found in infrared spectrum and Raman spectra. Negative nucleus independent chemical shifts(NICS) indicate that BN clusters have aromatic properties.

Theoretical Study on Structure Stability and Magnetic Properties of (OsH2)n(n=1-5) Clusters
ZHANG Xiurong, LUO Min, GUO Wenlu
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2015, 32 (2): 220-228.   DOI: O641
Abstract313)      PDF (5218KB)(590)      
Geometrical optimizations of (OsH2)n(n=1-5) clusters are carried out by using density functional calculation with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in which electronic spin multiplicities are adequately considered.Ground-state structures of clusters are obtained with optimized geometries' total energy and frequency.For each ground state structure,average binding energy,second-order differences of total energies,magnetic moment and density of states are investigated.It shows that (OsH2)n(n=1-5) clusters tend to form three-dimensional structures.Interaction between H and Os is strong and (OsH2)4 is more stable than its neighbors.Only ground-state geometry of (OsH2)5 displays anti-ferromagnetic coupling.Magnetic moment is mainly provided by osmium atoms and is dominant from contributions of d orbitals.

ZHANG Xiurong, YIN Lin, LI Weijun, WANG Yangyang, YUAN Aihua
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2013, 30 (5): 775-782.  
Abstract360)      PDF (1889KB)(1143)      
Geometric structure of WmBn(m+n≤7) clusters are optimized by using density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. For ground state configurations, average binding energies, second order differential energies, energy gaps and WIB bond orders are analyzed. It shows that ground state structures of WBn clusters are flat structures; as m≥2 and m+n≥4, all clusters are cube structure except W3B cluster. Stability of clusters is getting better and better as W atoms increase. The bonding strength of W-W is significantly higher than those of W-B and B-B key. W atom plays a leading role in stability of clusters. Stability of W2B2 and W3B cluster is the best.

Structures and Stability of WmCn Clusters
Zhang Xiurong, Li Weijun, Zhang Fuxing, Yuan Aihua
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2013, 30 (4): 587-595.  
Abstract349)      PDF (1005KB)(1147)      
Possible equilibrium geometries of WmCn clusters are optimized by using density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level.For ground-state structures,average binding energy,second difference in energy,HOMO-LOMO gaps and the Wiberg bond index are analyzed.With increasing tungsten atoms,structures of clusters transform from linear into planar,and then become three-dimensional structures.All spin multiplicity is not more than 5.Hybridization of carbon atoms enhanced stability of the clusters,but reduced chemical activity.And Wiberg of W-C is much stronger than that of W-W and C-C,so it is easier to form W-C bond in WmCn clusters.

CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2012, 29 (6): 921-930.  
Abstract351)      PDF (661KB)(1107)      
NBO,vibrational spectrum,aromatic characteristics and polarizability of ground state PtIrn0,±(n=1~5)clusters are analyzed by using density functional theory(b31yp).It shows that platinum atom gains charges during cluster growth,while some iridium atoms gain charges and others lose.They are transferred to platinum atom and other iridium atoms.More vibration peaks appear in IR and Raman sDectrums as more atoms are added. Vibration peaks of IR and Raman spectrum of Ptlr4- cluster are the strongest. PtIrl3、Ptlr5、PtIr5+ clusters are aromatic.Bond interactions between atoms present a rising tendency with the increase of atomic number-Electronic structures of PtIr3、Ptlrs5+ clusters are relatively unstable, and delocalization effects are strong. With the increase of atomic number,stability of electronic structure of anionic clusters presents a rising tendency,and delocalization effect decreases gradually.
