  • In this work, we studied the interactions of the complexes of a DNA base inserted between graphene layers through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that there exists the negligible energy barrier as well as robust and distinguishable electronic fingerprints during the translocation of the DNA bases. Our result shows that the bilayer graphene can be a possible candidate for the future-generation of DNA sequencing device platform.

  • 본 연구에서는 $Ni_2P$에서의 물의 산화를 Density Functional Theory(DFT) 계산을 이용하여 그 메커니즘을 확인하였다. 기존의 $Ni_2P$ 각 면의 표면 에너지에 관한 연구를 바탕으로 하여 P termination 된 (0001)면을 선택하였고 흡착 에너지를 계산하여 표면에 hydroxide와 oxygen coverage를 결정하였다. 산소 생성반응의 각 단계는 두 개의 site에서 계산되었고 두 site 모두 반응 결정 단계는 $^*OOH$가 형성되는 단계였다. 과전압 값을 비교한 결과 center site가 더 선호됨을 확인하였고 Center site에서 pH=14 일 때의 과전압 값은 0.64 eV으로 계산되었다.

  • Trilayer graphene에 비활성기체 중 하나인 Ne 원자가 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 density functional theory calculation을 이용해서 연구하였다. ABA stacked trilayer graphene의 $4{\times}4$ super cell에서 top surface에 adsorption되는 경우와 trilayer 내부에 intercalation 되는 경우에 대하여 energy를 계산하여 Ne 원자들의 안정한 위치를 찾았다. Adsorption의 경우 hollow site가 가장 안정하였고 intercalation의 경우에도 top layer의 hollow site의 아래가 가장 안정하였다. 또한 Ne 원자 2개가 adsorption되는 경우의 adsorption energy를 통하여 Ne 원자들 사이의 상호작용을 예측하였다.

  • https://nano.edison.re.kr/에서 제공하는 Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals 기반 Density Functional Theory 전자구조계산 SW을 이용하여 정렬된 FCC 결정구조의 PtFe와 원자의 배열이 무질서한 PtFe의 산소 발생 반응의 과전압을 알아보았다. 화학 반응에 참여하는 정렬된 FCC PtFe의 표면 방위는 표면 에너지 계산을 통해 (111) 면으로 설정하였다. 과전압 값은 산소 발생 반응의 각 단계의 자유 에너지 변화를 계산하여 양의 반응 에너지이다. 과전압 측정 결과 정렬된 FCC 결정구조의 PtFe와 원자의 배열이 무질서한 PtFe의 과전압은 각 각 0.623875eV, 0.603118eV 이다.

  • Ripples and charge impurity effect of graphene are considered as the origin of charge puddles in graphene sheet on SiO2. However, this topic is very controversial among researchers in graphene community. In this study, by using density functional theory, we calculate the band structure of the rippled graphene model and charged impurity model that is located close to the (0001) ${\alpha}$-quartz surface. We expect that this study will provide great insight on this matter.

  • The hydroalumination of cyclopropane has been investigated using the B3LYP density functional method employing several split-valence basis sets. It is shown that the reaction proceeds via an intermediate weakly bound complex and a four-centered transition state. Calculations at higher levels of theory were also performed at the geometries optimized at the B3LYP level, but only slight changes in the barriers were observed. Structural parameters for the transition state are also reported.

  • In this study, we investigate the electronic and atomic structure of graphene on O-terminated MgO(111) using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To suggest a possible direction for future band gap engineering of graphene on MgO(111), adsorption of carbon atoms on graphene/MgO(111) is studied by considering the several adsorption sites. Details in adsorption properties of carbon atoms on graphene/MgO(111) are analyzed in terms of energy band structure.

  • Topological insulator (TI) has non-trivial metallic surface states and has provoked many studies of property of this metarial. One of TI, $Bi_2Se_3$ is the promising metarial due to application of quantum devices. We investigate the effect of Ag adatom in the $Bi_2Se_3$ (111) surface. The silver atom prefers to locate within the vdW gap between the QLs rather than on the top surface. The effect of Ag adsorption is the rise of the Fermi level implying that the adsorbed Ag atoms behave like electron donors.
