AB  - Layered structure and peculiar electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials foster the concept of utilizing them as main components of lithium-ion batteries. Understanding basic physical mechanisms governing the interaction of Li with 2D crystals is of key importance to succeeding in a rational design of cathode and anode materials with superior functionalities. Study of Li atoms adsorbed at graphene clearly shows that Li atoms, featuring a long-ranged electrostatic repulsion, are individually dispersed across the surface [1]. This was a motivation for the further investigation of Li adsorption at a number of different 2D materials. In this study density functional theory was applied to reveal the microscopic picture of Li interaction with 15 2D crystals, including several transition metal oxides and dichalcogenides, carbides of Group XIV elements, functionalized graphene, silicene, and germanene, as well as black phosphorus and Ti2C MXene [2]. We found that the general trend in Li binding can be estimated from positions of conduction band minima of 2D materials since the energy of the lowest empty electronic states shows a nice correlation with the strength of Li adsorption. At variance to the majority of studied surfaces where the electron transferred from Li is spread across the substrate, in monolayers of carbides of Group XIV elements the interaction with Li and the charge transfer are well localized. This gives rise to their capability to accommodate Li structures with a nearly constant binding energy of alkaline atoms over Li coverages ranging from well-separated adatoms to a full monolayer.

The dimers are adsorbed on ultrathin MgO(100) films grown on Ag(100). New for 4f elements, we detect inelastic excitations with scanning tunneling spectroscopy and prove their magnetic origin by applying an external magnetic field. In combination with density functional theory and spin Hamiltonian analysis, we determine the magnetic level distribution, as well as sign and magnitude of the exchange interaction between the two atoms.

AB  - We investigate the electronic structure of the monolayer black phosphorus (BP) using density-functional methods both with and without an applied electric field. We find that a simple one-band tight-binding Hamiltonian based on the p(z) orbitals and nearest-neighbor hopping is sufficient to describe the band structure in the gap region rather well and justification for this is given from symmetry arguments. The anisotropic nature of the band structure leads in turn to an anisotropic Rashba effect, where the magnitude of the spin splitting caused by an applied electric field is not only momentum dependent, but also depends on the direction of (k) over right arrow. The Rashba Hamiltonian is generalized for the anisotropic case, which reads: H-R = alpha(R) ((sigma) over right arrow x (k) over right arrow).(z) over cap, where the scaled momentum (k) over right arrow contains the anisotropy effect. The Rashba effect is studied quantitatively for BP from ab initio density-functional calculations in the presence of an applied electric field. A byproduct of this work is the demonstration that the strength of the spin-orbit coupling for the outermost electrons in the atoms, which are relevant for the solids, increases only as the Landau-Lifshitz Z(2) scaling with the atomic number Z, rather than the higher power Z(4) scaling, as sometimes thought.

AB  - We report a simple colloidal synthesis of two types of Sb2S3 nanowires with small band gap and high aspect ratio. Field-emission scanning electron and transmission electron microscopies confirmed formation of high aspect ratio Sb2S3 nanowires, separated in the form of bundles and coalesced with each other in long bars. Diffuse reflectance and absorption spectroscopies revealed that the optical band-gap energies of the synthesized nanowires separated in the form of bundles are 1.56 and 1.59 eV, and coalesced with each other in long bars are 1.36 and 1.28 eV, respectively. The structure refinement showed that Sb2S3 powders belong to the orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma (no. 62). It was found that Sb2S3 nanowires separated in the form of bundles predominantly grow along the [0 1 0] direction being in the needle-like shape. The nanowires coalesced with each other in long bars rise in the form of long bars, are ribbon-like in shape and have expressed {1 0 1} facets which grow along the [0 1 0] direction. No peaks in photoluminescence spectra were observed in the spectral range from 250 to 600 nm. In order to shed more light on the experimental results concerning the band-gap energies and, in the literature generally poorly investigated electronic properties of the synthesized material, we performed theoretical calculations of the electronic structure and optical properties of the Sb2S3 samples synthesized here. This was done on the basis of density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation, and also with an improved version of the exchange potential suggested recently by Tran and Blaha. The main characteristic is the significant improvement of the band gap value.

AB  - Using density-functional methods, we study the electronic structure of Ba3CuSb2O9, a candidate material for the quantum spin liquid behavior. We study both the triangular lattice as well as the recently proposed hexagonal lattice structures with flipped Cu-Sb dumbbells. The band structure near the Fermi energy is described very well by a tight-binding Hamiltonian involving the Cu (e(g)) orbitals, confirming their central role in the physics of the problem. A minimal tight-binding Hamiltonian for the triangular structure is presented. The Cu (d(9)) ions (a single e(g) hole in the band structure) present in the compound are expected to be Jahn-Teller centers, while the nature of the Jahn-Teller distortions in this material is still under debate. Solving a simple model by exact diagonalization, we show that electronic correlation effects in general enhance the tendency towards a Jahn-Teller distortion by reducing the kinetic energy due to correlation effects. Our density-functional calculations do indeed show a significant Jahn-Teller distortion of the CuO6 octahedra when we include the correlation effects within the Coulomb-corrected GGA+U method, so that the Jahn-Teller effect is correlation driven. We argue for the presence of a random static Jahn-Teller distortion in the hexagonal structure rather than a dynamical one because of the broken octahedral symmetry around the CuO6 octahedra and the potential fluctuations inherently present in the system caused by a significant disorder, which is believed to be present, in particular, due to the flipped Cu-Sb dumbbells.

We argue for the presence of a random static Jahn-Teller distortion in the hexagonal structure rather than a dynamical one because of the broken octahedral symmetry around the CuO6 octahedra and the potential fluctuations inherently present in the system caused by a significant disorder, which is believed to be present, in particular, due to the flipped Cu-Sb dumbbells.",

AB  - We show that the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in d electron solids, which originates from the broken inversion symmetry at surfaces or interfaces, is strongly dependent on the orbital characters of the bands involved. This is studied by developing a tight-binding model in the presence of a uniform perpendicular electric field and spin-orbit coupling. We argue that for valence electrons, the spin-orbit coupling strength scales only as the square of the atomic number. The electric field distorts the d orbitals through the admixture of p and f states and also introduces intersite overlap parameters. Expressions for Rashba coefficients for the bands are obtained in both weak and strong spin-orbit interaction limits and are shown to be orbital dependent. The results are compared with first-principles calculations for model systems, showing good agreement. Our study demonstrates the orbital-dependent gate control of the Rashba effect for the purposes of oxide electronics.

AB  - We used ab initio calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the binding of atomic oxygen on graphene, considering adsorption structures with sizes varying from sub-nanometric clusters to infinite overlayers. From an extensive set of studied configurations of oxygen dimers, trimers and tetramers we demonstrated a strong tendency of adsorbates to form close-packed structures. In the high O coverage regime, corresponding to a C/O ratio of 2:1, we identified two very favorable structures with a distribution of O adatoms which enables both the hybridization of all C-2p(z) states from the graphene pi electron network with the O-2p states, as well as the minimization of the electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged O atoms attached to the same side of the graphene sheet. Using DFT results obtained for small clusters we constructed a simple model able to describe the energetics of the O islands with sizes beyond those that can be directly treated by first principles methods.

AB  - We report the novel colloidal syntheses in organic media of antimony sesquioxide (Sb2O3) spherical nanoparticles (30-250 nm) and octahedron micro- and nanocrystals (100 nm-4 mu m) depending on the synthetic method conditions. It is observed that small differences in the synthetic procedure cause large differences in the very changeable morphology. The structure of Sb2O3 powders was refined down to the R-factors of 9.57, 7.44, 9.19, 9.78, and 8.30 %. The refinement showed that Sb2O3 powder belongs to the cubic crystal type with space group Fd (3) over barm (No. 227). The values of estimated standard deviations, as well as reliability factors, confirmed that the structure of Sb2O3 was well refined. Ultraviolet and visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance measurements (DRS) reveal that the optical band gap energies found for the Sb2O3 octahedrons and nanoparticles, micro- and nanocrystals, respectively, are quite independent of the synthetic method conditions and synthesized morphology and is found to be between 4.1-4.4 eV. No peaks in both photoluminescence (PL) emission and excitation spectra have been observed for a broad spectral range, typical for this material. In order to discriminate between conflicting experimental results concerning the band gap energy of this compound, we investigated theoretically the electronic structure and optical properties of one of the cubic sesquioxide Sb2O3 samples synthesized here. This has been done on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and improved version of exchange potential suggested recently by Tran and Blaha (TB-mBJ). The main characteristic of the calculated TB-mBJ electronic structure is the significant improvement of the band gap value, which is in perfect agreement with our experimental measurements. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric tensor are also calculated and interpreted in terms of the obtained electronic structure.

AB  - Electronic structure and optical properties of copper tungstate CuWO4 were investigated using density functional theory with improved version of exchange potential suggested recently by Tran and Blaha (2009) [7] (TB-mBJ). The calculated band gap value is found to be in excellent agreement with the recent experimental results. The values of the magnetic moments at the Cu sites and O (3) oxygen atomic sites (closest to the Cu2+ ions in antiferromagnetic chains) are in good agreement with experiments also. The principal characteristic of the calculated electronic structure is significant rearrangement of the Cu 3d states near the valence band top as compared to our earlier PBE and PBE + U calculations of the same compound. This fact causes the different optical response of the CuWO4 as well, which is analyzed and interpreted in terms of calculated electronic structure. A comparison of the calculated properties with available experimental data indicates that the TB-mBJ approach provides a better description of the electronic and optical properties of the CuWO4 compound than the standard PBE and PBE + U approaches.

AB  - We study the electronic structure of graphene with a single substitutional vacancy using a combination of the density-functional, tight-binding and impurity Greens function approaches. Density-functional studies are performed with the all-electron spin-polarized linear augmented plane wave (LAPW) method. The three sp(2)sigma dangling bonds adjacent to the vacancy introduce localized states (V sigma) in the mid-gap region, which split due to the crystal field and a Jahn-Teller distortion, while the p(z)pi states introduce a sharp resonance state (V pi) in the band structure. For a planar structure, symmetry strictly forbids hybridization between the sigma and the pi states, so that these bands are clearly identifiable in the calculated band structure. As to the magnetic moment of the vacancy, the Hunds rule coupling aligns the spins of the four localized V sigma(1) up down arrow, V sigma(2) up arrow and V pi up arrow electrons, resulting in an S = 1 state, with a magnetic moment of 2 mu(B), which is reduced by about 0.3 mu(B) due to the anti-ferromagnetic spin polarization of the pi band itinerant states in the vicinity of the vacancy. This results in the net magnetic moment of 1.7 mu(B). Using the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, we reproduce the well-known similar to 1/r decay of the localized V pi wave function with distance, and in addition, find an interference term coming from the two Dirac points, previously unnoticed in the literature. The long-range nature of the V pi wave function is a unique feature of the graphene vacancy and we suggest that this may be one of the reasons for the widely varying relaxed structures and magnetic moments reported from the supercell band calculations in the literature.

AB  - We show that the substitutional vacancy in graphene forms a dynamical Jahn-Teller center. The adiabatic potential surface resulting from the electron-lattice coupling was computed using density-functional methods, and subsequently the Schrodinger equation was solved for the nuclear motion. Our calculations show a large tunneling splitting 3 Gamma estimated to be about 65 cm(-1). The effect results in a large delocalization of the carbon nuclear wave functions around the vacancy, leading to a significant broadening of the Jahn-Teller active sp(2)sigma electron states. The tunneling splitting should be observable in electron paramagnetic resonance and two-photon resonance scattering experiments.

AB  - Ab initio calculations based on the density-functional theory have been employed to study the electronic and magnetic properties of copper tungstate CuWO4, as well as its optical characteristics in the ultraviolet region, up to 40 eV. The electronic structure around the band gap is dominated by the O p- and the Cu d-states and it is quite different from the recent spin-restricted calculations of the same compound. The most stable antiferromagnetic state and the values of magnetic moments at Cu sites and 0(3) oxygen atomic sites (closest to Cu2+ ions in zigzag antiferromagnetic chains) are in agreement with experiments. The gap is found to be indirect with the acceptable value only after use of the LDA + U rotationally invariant self-consistent full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP LAPW) approach. The optical spectra are analyzed, compared, and interpreted in terms of calculated band structures. It is shown that absorption process involves significant energy flow from the O ions to the Cu ions. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The pristine monoatomic Fe wires deposited on nanostructured Ir(100) surface partially covered by H atoms are antiferromagnetic. However, the type of exchange interaction between Fe atoms can be changed by increasing H coverage. At fully hydrogenated Ir surface the Fe wires themselves are decorated with hydrogen, which gives rise to the ferromagnetic coupling between adjacent Fe atoms.

Our calculations have shown that the specific antiferromagnetic ordering, in accordance with experimental findings, is the most stable one. The total energies calculated for the several possible magnetic states of the title compound in the orthorhombic phase enable us to estimate spin exchange interactions for nearest J(nn)=-1.60 meV and next(-) nearest neighbors J(nnn)=-0.21 meV. Calculated Curie-Weiss temperature in the mean-field approximation is in excellent agreement with the measured magnetic phase transition temperature.

AB  - We have studied the effect of the lattice relaxation on the interface electronic structure of LaTiO3/SrTiO3, focusing in particular on the wedge-shaped potential, the interface sub-bands, and the orbital ordering, from density-functional calculations using the linearized augmented plane-wave and the linear muffin-tin orbital methods. We find that the extra screening due to the lattice relaxation is about as strong as the screening due to the electronic polarization alone, approximately doubling the value of the short-range dielectric constant as compared to the unrelaxed case. The additional screening reduces the interface electric field and spreads the two-dimensional electron gas further away from the interface, to about four to five layers into the SrTiO3 bulk on either side of the interface. The electronic band structure indicates distinct interface sub-bands, derived from the individual interface layers. The orbital-ordered state is quite interesting. While it consists of mainly the Ti(xy) orbitals oriented parallel to the interface for the first layer Ti, with or without the lattice relaxation, it switches to Ti(xz/yz) character as one goes beyond the first layer into the bulk.

AB  - Transport measurements of the two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interface have found a density of carriers much lower than expected from the polar catastrophe arguments. From a detail density-functional study, we suggest how this discrepancy may be reconciled. We find that electrons occupy multiple subbands at the interface leading to a rich array of transport properties. Some electrons are confined to a single interfacial layer and susceptible to localization, while others with small masses and extended over several layers are expected to contribute to transport.

AB  - Atomic structure and magnetic properties of monatomic cobalt wires self-assembled on a stepped Pt surface are studied using density-functional theory. Nucleation sites and the early stages of wire growth are obtained by calculating the binding energies and diffusion barriers of Co atoms on Pt(332), and the adsorption geometries of Co dimers and trimers on the same surface. We show that experimentally observed monoatomic Co wires formed at the step edges are kinetically favored over another thermodynamically equally stable structure found in our calculations. The spin magnetic moment of monatomic wires supported by Pt(332) is 3.74 mu(B) per Co atom, more than 50% larger than that of free-standing wires. This enhancement is explained in terms of the spin-dependent hybridization between Pt-5d and Co-3d states.

AB  - Oxide superlattices and microstructures hold the promise for creating a new class of devices with unprecedented functionalities. Density-functional studies of the recently fabricated, lattice-matched perovskite titanates (SrTiO3)(n)/(LaTiO3)(m) reveal a classic wedge-shaped potential well for the monolayer (m=1) structure, originating from the Coulomb potential of a two-dimensional charged La sheet. The potential in turn confines the electrons in the Airy-function-localized states. Magnetism is suppressed for the monolayer structure, while in structures with a thicker LaTiO3 part, bulk antiferromagnetism is recovered, with a narrow transition region separating the magnetic LaTiO3 and the nonmagnetic SrTiO3.

We find that correlation effects beyond the local density approximation as well as lattice distortions are necessary to describe the electronic properties of both compounds. It is the intricate interplay between lattice distortion and correlation effect that describes both the charge disproportionation and insulating ground state within the band theory, as is observed in these compounds.
