Relativistic density-dependent Hartree approach for finite nuclei.
1992
We develop a relativistic density-dependent Hartree approach for finite nuclei, where the coupling constants of the relativistic Hartree Lagrangian are made density dependent and are obtained from the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock results of nuclear matter. The calculated results on binding energies and root mean square radii of {sup 16}O and {sup 40}Ca agree very well with experiment. The charge densities from electron scattering are also calculated and their dependence on the nucleon-nucleon interaction is discussed in relation with nuclear matter properties.
Ab initiocalculations of theHcenters in MgF2crystals
2012
MgF2 with rutile structure is important wide-gap optical material with numerous applications. We present and discuss the results of calculations for basic hole defects - interstitial F atoms (called also the colour H centres). This study is based on the large scale ab initio DFT calculations using hybrid B3PW exchange-correlation functional as implemented into CRYSTAL computer code. The electronic structure, atomic geometry, charge density distribution are calculated and discussed.
Ab initio modeling of radiation damage in MgF2 crystals
2014
Abstract MgF2 with a rutile structure is important radiation-resistant material with numerous applications due to its transparency from vacuum ultraviolet to infrared range of photon energies. We present and discuss the results of calculations for basic radiation defects in this crystal. The study is based on the large scale ab initio DFT calculations using hybrid B3PW exchange–correlation functional and atomic basis set. We analyzed the electronic structure, atomic displacements, charge density distribution as well as defect formation energies using large supercells. We compared properties of close and well separated F−H (Frenkel) defect pairs as well as individual defects. We simulated al…
First‐principles modeling of the H color centers in MgF 2 crystals
2012
MgF2 with a rutile structure is important wide-gap optical material with numerous applications. We present and discuss the results of calculations for basic hole defects – interstitial F atoms (called also the colour H centers). This study is based on the large scale ab initio DFT calculations using hybrid B3PW exchange-correlation functional as implemented into CRYSTAL computer code. The electronic structure, atomic geometry, charge density distribution are calculated and compared with similar defects in CaF2 fluorite. It is shown that the H centers oriented nearly parallel to the (110) axis are energetically more favourable than those oriented along the (001) axis, in agreement with exper…
First-principles calculations of the atomic and electronic structure of SrZrO3 and PbZrO3 (001) and (011) surfaces.
2010
We present the results of calculations of surface relaxations, rumplings, energetics, optical band gaps, and charge distribution for the SrZrO(3) and PbZrO(3) (001) and (011) surfaces using the ab initio code CRYSTAL and a hybrid description of exchange and correlation. We consider both SrO(PbO) and ZrO(2) terminations of the (001) surface and Sr(Pb), ZrO, and O terminations of the polar SrZrO(3) and PbZrO(3) (011) surfaces. On the (001) surfaces, we find that all upper and third layer atoms relax inward, while outward relaxations of all atoms in the second layer are found with the sole exception of the SrO-terminated SrZrO(3) (001) surface second layer O atom. Between all (001) and (011) s…

The D e (dissociation energy) values in Table 6 of the article by Zarychta et al. [(2011). Acta Cryst. B67, 250–262] are corrected.
A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Charge Density Study of the Chemical Bonding and Magnetism in 3-Amino-propanolato Cu(II) Complexes Containing…
2008
The experimental (100 K) and theoretical charge densities in the binuclear complexes [Cu2(ap)2(L)2] (ap = 3-aminopropanolate) 1 (L = nitrite), 2 (L = nitrate), and 3 (L = formate) have been examined. These complexes contain the same centrosymmetric alkoxy-bridged motif, where each strongly Jahn-Teller distorted Cu(II) ion is ligated to three O atoms and one N atom in a square-planar arrangement. This primary coordination sphere is augmented by a long contact with the O atom of a pendant L anion from an adjacent molecule in the crystal lattice. Topological analyses of the experimental and theoretical densities according to the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) are in excellent agr…
Charge distribution and optical properties of and F centres in crystals
1997
Results of quantum chemical calculations for the and F centres in cubic and orthorhombic phases of a perovskite ferroelectric are presented and analysed in the light of existing experimental literature. It is shown that one (two) electrons of the and F centres, respectively, are considerably delocalized, even in the ground state of defects, over the two Nb atoms nearest to the O vacancy, and other close atoms. They resemble more electron defects in partly covalent crystals (the so-called centre) than F-type centres in ionic MgO crystals. We predict two or three absorption bands (depending on the crystalline phase) for each of the defects. The calculated absorption energies for the centre ar…
Charge density waves in NbSe3: The models and the experimental evidence
2010
a b s t r a c t Charge density wave (CDW) ordering in the prototypical low-dimensional compound NbSe3 is reconsidered. It is shown that the model with two incommensurate modulations, q1 = (0, 0.241, 0) and q2 = (0.5, 0.260, 0.5), localized on type-III and type-I bi-capped trigonal prismatic columns, does not explain details, revealed by various microscopic methods. An alternative explanation, based on the existence of modulated layered nano-domains below both CDW onset temperatures, is suggested. It accounts for the presence of the q2 modulation in the STM images recorded above the T2 CDW transition and for the absence of q2 satellites in the corresponding diffraction patterns. The long per…
Revisiting the charge density analysis of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone at 20 K
2017
A high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) at 20 K was carried out. The experimental charge density was modeled using the Hansen–Coppens multipolar expansion and the topology of the electron density was analyzed in terms of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Two different multipole models, predominantly differentiated by the treatment of the chlorine atom, were obtained. The experimental results have been compared to theoretical results in the form of a multipolar refinement against theoretical structure factors and through direct topological analysis of the electron density obtained from the optimized periodic wavefunction. The si…
