Structural, electronic, and optical properties for the cubic, tetragonal, monoclinic crystalline phases of ZrO2, as derived from ab initio full-relativistic calculations, are presented. The electronic structure calculations were carried out by means all-electron full-potential linear augmented plane wave method, within framework density functional theory local approximation. calculated carrier effective masses shown to be highly anisotropic. results obtained real imaginary parts dielectric...

In austenitic stainless steels, plastic deformation can induce martensite formation. The induced is related to the austenite (gamma) instability at temperatures close or below room temperature. metastability of steels increases with decreasing stacking fault energy (SFE). this work, was analyzed by X ray diffraction, electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), magnetic methods and atomic force microscope (AFM) in samples a low SFE steel, AISI 301LN compared medium 316L. Both techniques, EBSD,...

We investigate the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with a small number atoms (<250) distinct shapes (triangular, rectangular, hexagonal) through classical molecular dynamics (CMD) density functional theory (DFT) calculations. show that these nanostructures are able to retain their planarity for simulated temperatures up 1500 K, starting degrade into amorphous nanocarbon above 3000 K. The types border GNFs have strong influence on electronic...

Abstract Sodium trititanate Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 microcrystals were carefully prepared by sodium carbonate and titanium dioxide solid‐state reaction characterized scanning transmission electron microscopies, selected area diffraction, X‐ray powder Raman Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. Electron microscopic techniques revealed that the samples formed elongated particles several microns long with broad size distributions. The zone axis crystal growth direction of determined diffraction....

By taking advantage of the crystallographic data 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) complexed with statins, a quantum biochemistry study based on density functional theory is performed to estimate interaction energy for each statin when one considers binding pockets different sizes. Assuming correlation between potency and strength total HMGR-statin energy, clinical as well IC(50) values these cholesterol-lowering drugs are successfully explained only after stabilization...

The electronic band structure, density of states, dielectric function, optical absorption, and infrared spectrum cubic BaSnO3 were simulated using functional theory, within both the local generalized gradient approximations, LDA GGA, respectively. Dielectric permittivities polarizabilities at ω=0 ω=∞ also estimated. Indirect gaps E(R→Γ) 1.01 eV (LDA) 0.74 (GGA) found, which are smaller than experimental one (≈3.1 eV). A comparison calculated gap with those others stannates ASnO3 (A = Ca, Sr,...

Density functional theory (DFT) computations within the local-density approximation and generalized gradient in pure form with dispersion correction (GGA+D) were carried out to investigate structural, electronic, optical properties of $L$-aspartic acid anhydrous crystals. The electronic (band structure density states) absorption used interpret light measurements we have performed crystalline powder at room temperature. We show important role layered spatial disposition molecules crystals...
