In this work, ab initio density functional theory calculations were performed in order to study the structural and electronic properties of halogens (X = fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine) that deposited on both sides graphene single layers (X-graphene). The adsorption these atoms only one side layer with hydrogen adsorbed other was also considered (H,X-graphene). results indicate F-C bond F-graphene system causes an sp(2) sp(3) transition carbon orbitals, similar effects seem occur...
This work investigates, using first-principles calculations, electronic and structural properties of hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium rubidium that are adsorbed, in a regular pattern, on graphene surface. The results for H-graphene (graphane) Li-graphene were compared with previous calculations. present do not support claims the Li–C bond such layer would result an sp2 to sp3 transition carbon orbitals, being more compatible some ionic character covalent lithium acting as electron...
Copper ions on over-exchanged Cu−MCM-22 were monitored by CO and NO adsorption at 300 K 77 K. Two different species of both Cu(I) Cu(II) produced vacuum thermal treatment 823 CuI−CO complexes formed upon converted to CuI−(CO)2 increasing the pressure. adsorbed copper small oxide aggregates or in oligomeric cationic compounds was also found. Mononitrosylic CuI−NO (band 1813 cm-1) completely oxidized CuII−NO (absorptions 1899 1908 Nitro, nitrate, nitrito reaction with oxidic surface...
Magnetic mesoporous particles were synthesized and their magnetic structural properties are reported. The synthesis procedure consists of four steps: (i) preparation magnetite colloidal nanoparticles; (ii) growth a silica layer; (iii) development the structure (iv) template removal. Two different methods for removal studied effectiveness was discussed. Magnetization Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements showed superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature. X-ray diffraction nitrogen...
Nanosized BiTaO 4 and BiNbO were prepared by the citrate method. The electronic optical properties of have been investigated means photo‐acoustic spectroscopy (PAS), X‐ray photo‐electron (XPS), first‐principles calculations based on density functional theory. measured valence band (from XPS) both materials agreed well with theoretical findings. It was also found that calculated such as dynamical dielectric function absorption spectra are in good agreement experimental According to spectra,...
Abstract We present the optical absorption spectrum of BiTaO 4 using photo acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) technique and first principles approach. Band gap have been estimated 2.65 2.45 eV PAS method DFT calculations, respectively. Position reduction oxidation level with respect to vacuum are identified, which shows that can be used as photocatalyst for hydrogen production. Electronic structure is explained by plotting total density states (TDOS) (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
