Ab initio calculations employing the configuration interaction method including Davidson's corrections for quadruple excitations have been carried out to unravel dissociation mechanism of acetylene dication in various electronic states and elucidate ultrafast acetylene-vinylidene isomerization recently observed experimentally. Both ground triplet lowest singlet C2H2(2+) proton migration barrier is shown remain high, range 50 kcal/mol. On other hand, excited 2 3A" 1 3A' decreases about 15 34...
Abstract NiX 2 @SWCNT (X = Cl, Br) nanostructures were prepared by capillary filling of single‐walled carbon nanotube channels with nickel halogenide melts slow cooling down to room temperature for better crystallization. The HRTEM data indicated formation well‐ordered 1D NiBr crystals, the experimental atomic structure representing a fragment bulk structure. lattice constant coincides corresponding distance in lattice. crystal was modeled using DFT within PW‐GGA approach. According Raman,...
Clean and oxidized (104–1015 L of O2) surfaces α-GeTe have been investigated with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy by using the synchrotron radiation facility BESSY II as well an Al Kα source. To understand first steps oxidation, complementary quantum chemical calculations were performed. The cleaved found to be rumpled (111) domains that can related domain (twin) structure bulk. Both Ge 3d Te 4d spectra freshly exhibit at least three components, which are explained a or termination surface...
The adsorption of molecular oxygen on PbTe(001) surfaces has been investigated using synchrotron radiation induced photoelectron spectroscopy (BESSY II, Berlin). behavior adsorbate system O2/PbTe(001) was also modeled in complementary DFT-B3LYP studies a large-cluster approach. For several possible structures, the enthalpies, changes effective charges, and core-level shifts by were calculated. energetically most favorable calculated chemical are good agreement with experimental observations....
A detailed analysis of nitrogen dopant behavior in nanostructured microspheres the TiO2 photocatalyst obtained by thermally assisted reactions aqueous sprays method has been performed for first time using electron paramagnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV–vis spectroscopy is supported theoretical simulation possible defect structures. The species were found to undergo N• N– transformation during sample storage under different conditions, with an activation energy about...
