First-principles method was carried out to investigate the methyl chemical adsorbing on Si (110) surface. To clarify the different concentrations of methyl on Si (110) surface, the mono-methyl, double-methyl, treble-methyl, and quadruple-methyl on the Si surface adsorption models were comparably investigated. Adsorption energy and methyl C-H bond structure change, density of states and electron density difference were used to analyze the structure change of adsorption models. The adsorption energy shows that Si surface top site has significant sensitivity to methyl, and the adsorption energy increase with the increasing methyl concentrations. The electron density difference data show charge transfer is obvious and electron cloud center tend to Si atom with Si-C bond formed. The PDOS of methyl reveals electron peaks move to the low direction about (5.5036, 5.7868, 5.8572, 5.8788eV) with the increasing concentrations of methyl. The data above exhibit that quadruple-methyl adsorption structure is more stable one. The conclusion can provide the insight for gas detection and sensors.

The absorbing kinetic process of methyl on Si (111) surface was comprehensively studied using the method of quantum mechanics. We optimized the model structures of radical CH3+, Si (111), and CH3+ on Si (111) to obtain a rational convergence for the present calculations. The electron density difference and density of states of each model were calculated by CASTEP. The electron density difference of CH3+ on Si (111) reveals that the charge transfer factor is difference for different absorption positions, which indicates that the bond strength difference. The density of state of model exhibits that the electronic peaks move to the low energy direction. However, the absorption on B (-8.57, -2.19, 0.91) position shows a higher electron shift which evidences that it is the appreciating absorption position.

The changes in electron density that result from processes in which ions are formed were examined using both electron density difference maps and calculations of electron populations using Bader's theory of atoms in molecules. The processes include the loss of an electron from a neutral precursor forming a radical cation, the loss of an electron from a free radical forming a carbocation, the addition of a proton to ammonia, the addition of an electron to a free radical forming a carbanion, and the loss of a proton from a neutral precursor forming an anion. In the reactions forming cations, the new positive charge resides mainly at the hydrogens, and the heavy atoms generally gain electron density. The anion-forming reactions lead to negative charge being shared among atoms but, again, much of the charge appears at the hydrogens. σ–π polarization is an important feature of the charge distribution in all of the ions. There is an advantage to placing the charge at the periphery of an ion since this will minimize its electrostatic energy. Key words: electron density, anions, cations, radical cations, σ–π polarization.

AbstractA one-dimensional disorder model has been proposed for the structure of the so-calledComputer simulations showed, that the structure published by these authors can be explained by a model in which the layer sequences of the orthorhombic and the monoclinic structures randomly appear in a volume ratio of about 7 to 3. The trigonal-prismatically six-fold coordinated K position has been revealed to be a false maximum in the electron-density difference map. The orthorhombic (

The structural inheritance and difference between Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and Ti5Al2C3 under pressure from first principles are studied. The results indicate that the lattice parameter a are almost the same within Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and Ti5Al2C3, and the value of c in Ti5Al2C3 is the sum of Ti2AlC and Ti3AlC2 which is revealed by the covalently bonded chain in the electron density difference: Al–Ti–C–Ti–Al for Ti2AlC, Al–Ti2–C–Ti1–C–Ti2–Al for Ti3AlC2 and Al–Ti3–C2–Ti3–Al–Ti2–C1–Ti1–C1–Ti2–Al for Ti5Al2C3. The calculated axial compressibilities, volumetric shrinkage, elastic constant [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] ratio, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Young’s modulus of Ti5Al2C3 are within the range of the end members (Ti2AlC and Ti3AlC2) in a wide pressure range of 0–100 GPa. Only Ti2AlC is isotropic crystal at about 50 GPa within the Ti–Al–C compounds. All of the Ti 3d density of states curves of the three compounds move from lower energy to higher energy level with pressure increasing. The similarities of respective bond length, bond overlap population (Ti–C, Ti–Al and Ti–Ti), atom Mulliken charges under pressure as well as the electron density difference for the three compounds are discovered. Among the Ti–Al–C ternary compounds, Ti–Ti bond behaves least compressibility, whereas the Ti–Al bond is softer than that of Ti–C bonds, which can also been confirmed by the density of states and electron density difference. Bond overlap populations of Ti–Ti, Ti–C and Ti–Al indicate that the ionicity interaction becomes more and more stronger in the three structures as the pressure increasing. Mulliken charges of Ti1, Ti2, Ti3, C and Al are 0.65, 0.42, 0.39, −0.73, −0.04 at 0 GPa, respectively, which are consistent with the Pauling scale.

Based on the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules (EET), the phase interface electron structure of Fe4N/a-Fe、AlN/γ-Fe、AlN/γ-Fe-C(Al) are calculated, and the reasons that the cold shortness is resulted from nitrogen as well as the add of Al element is helpful to the removal of cold shortness are analyzed with the use of the interface conjunction factors such as,σ and. The calculated results are as follows. The discontinuous electron density difference of phase interface Fe4N/a-Fe under the first order approximation results in the remarkable strengthening effect as well as the significant decrease in toughness and ductility, demonstrating the reason that nitrogen can cause cold shortness; as the electron density difference on AlN/γ-Fe、AlN/γ-Fe-C(Al) phase interface is very large and the continuous number of the phase interface is very small, the add of Al can hinder the growth of grain, as a result, the austenite grain is significantly refined and the removal of cold shortness caused by Fe4N can be achieved.

The coating oriented growth has attracted great attention because of its effect on coating properties. In this paper, the valence electron structures of TiN and Ni were calculated with the empirical electron theory (EET) in solid and molecules for investigating preferred orientation of nitride coatings containing Ni . The calculation results show that Ni (111), CrN (100) and TiN (100) are the maximum crystal-face electron density, respectively. In CrN (or TiN ) coatings, if Ni does not form a single nickel phase, CrN (100) (or TiN (100)) preferred orientation appears easily due to its high crystal-face electron density. When Ni exists as a single phase, CrN (100)/ Ni (111) (or TiN (100)/ Ni (111)) with the minimum crystal-face electron density difference is the most likely to appear in the coatings. Furthermore, high crystal-face electron density difference usually implies fine grain microstructure. The calculation results are consistent with the experimental results.
