V<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>12</sub><sup>−</sup> has a bicapped hexagonal antiprism structure and exhibits ferromagnetic behavior.
Exploring novel materials with superior elastocaloric effect (eCE) is a central issue for the development of eCE refrigeration technique. In this work, we report giant adiabatic temperature change ΔTad −20.4 K in 〈100〉-textured all-d-metal Ni50Mn31.75Ti18.25 bulk alloy. The value, comparable to that sate-of-the-art Ni–Ti alloys, surpasses existing conventional Ni–Mn-based alloys. Investigations show attributed large lattice volume during martensitic transformation and negligible negative...
Cluster, as the aggregate of a few to thousands atoms or molecules, bridges microscopic world and molecules macroscopic condensed matters. The physical chemical properties cluster are determined by its ground state structure, which is significantly different from bulk structure sensitively relies on size. As well-known nondeterministic polynomial-time hard problem, determining challenging task due extreme complexity high-dimensional potential energy surface (PES). Genetic algorithm (GA) an...

Vanadium-doped silicon cluster anions, V3Sin– (n = 3–14), have been generated by laser vaporization and investigated anion photoelectron spectroscopy. The vertical detachment energies (VDEs) adiabatic (ADEs) of these clusters were obtained. Meanwhile, genetic algorithm (GA) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to determine their ground-state structures systematically. Excellent agreement is found between experiment. Among the clusters, V3Si5–, V3Si9–,...
Structural, thermodynamic, and vibrational characteristics of water clusters up to six molecules incorporating a single sodium ion [Na+(H2O)n (n = 1–6)] are calculated using comprehensive genetic algorithm combined with density functional theory on global search, followed by high-level ab initio calculation. For n ≥ 4, the coordinated number for minimum is 4 outer connecting hydrogen bonds. The charge analysis reveals electron transfer between ions molecules, providing an insight into...

Protonated water cluster is one of the most important hydrogen-bond network systems. Finding an appropriate DFT method to study properties protonated clusters can substantially improve economy in computational resources without sacrificing accuracy compared high-level methods. Using MP2 and CCSD(T) methods as well experimental results benchmark, we systematically examined effect seven exchange-correlation GGA functionals (with BLYP, B3LYP, X3LYP, PBE0, PBE1W, M05-2X, B97-D parametrizations)...
Abstract We propose a series of icosahedral matryoshka clusters A@B 12 @A 20 (A = Sn, Pb; B Mg, Zn, Cd), which possess large HOMO-LUMO gaps (1.29 to 1.54 eV) and low formation energies (0.06 0.21 eV/atom). A global minimum search using genetic algorithm density functional theory calculations confirms that such onion-like three-shell structures are the ground states for these 21 binary clusters. All clusters, including two previously found ones, i.e., [As@Ni @As ] 3− [Sn@Cu @Sn 12− , follow...
