面心立方B $_{80}$金属的密度泛函理论计算

Face-Centered-Cubic B$_{80}$ Metal: Density functional theory calculations

Qing-Bo Yan, Qing-Rong Zheng, Gang Su

摘要:

通过密度泛函理论的从头计算,我们发现B80富勒烯可以凝聚形成稳定的面心立方fcc固体。结果表明,在晶体形成过程中,B80笼发生几何畸变,Ih对称性降低到Th对称性,相邻B80笼之间形成四个硼-硼化学键。相对于孤立的B80富勒烯,B80 fcc固体的结合能为0.23 eV/atom。计算的电子结构揭示了fcc B80固体是金属。预测的固相将构成一种形式的纯硼,并可能有不同的含义。此外,提出了一个简单的电子计数规则,这可以解释B80富勒烯的稳定性和最近预测的稳定硼片。

英文摘要:

By means of ab initio calculations within the density functional theory, we have found that B80 fullerenes can condense to form stable face-centered-cubic fcc solids. It is shown that when forming a crystal, B80 cages are geometrically distorted, the Ih symmetry is lowered to Th, and four boron-boron chemical bonds are formed between every two nearest neighbor B80 cages. The cohesive energy of B80 fcc solid is 0.23 eV/atom with respect to the isolated B80 fullerene. The calculated electronic structure reveals that the fcc B80 solid is a metal. The predicted solid phase would constitute a form of pure boron and might have diverse implications. In addition, a simple electron counting rule is proposed, which could explain the stability of B80 fullerene and the recently predicted stable boron sheet.
