Using ab initio method, we have studied the structural stabilities, the electronic structures and properties between the two isomers with $C_{2h}$ and $C_{2v}$ symmetry of AlN four-membered-ring single precursors $[Me_2AlNHR]_2$ (R = Me, $^iPr$, and $^iBu$). In the viewpoint of bond lengths in optimized structures, the N-C bonds are considerably affected by the change of the R groups bonded to nitrogen, but the bonding characters of the Al-N and Al-C bonds are little affected. Also the structural stabilities between the two isomers with $C_{2h}$ and $C_{2v}$ symmetry by using Hartree-Fock (HF) and the second order Moeller-Pleset (MP2) calculations agree well with the experimental results for the relative stability of bis(dimethyl- m-isopropylamido-aluminum) (BDPA) and bis(dimethyl- m-t-butylamido-aluminum) (BDBA), while the semiempirical AM1 and PM3 calculations for BDPA were reverse. Thus, our results may aid in designing an optimum precursor for a given process by explaining the experimental results through the elimination of the R groups bonded to nitrogen.

Ab initio calculations of the structure and the binding energies of K+(C2H5OH)n, (n=1~5) complexes were carried out with MP2/ full gen 6d and MP2/ 6-311G** methods. The stable structures of the complexes with n=2 to 5 were linear, trigonal, tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramid respectively. The binding energies of complexes were increased with the number of ligands, but the incremental binding energies were decreased. These results agreed well with the results of K+ complexes with other solvents.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and relative energies of H$_2$(A$_{n+1}$X$_{2n}$)H$_2$ (A=C or Si, X=O or S, n = 1-2) oligomers have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques with large basis sets. The equilibrium geometries have been optimized at the self-consistent field (SCF), the coupled cluster with single and double excitation (CCSD), and the CCSD with connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] levels of theory. The highest level of theory employed in this study is cc-pVTZ CCSD(T). Harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined at the SCF level of theory with various basis sets and confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. Also zero-point vibrational energies have been considered to predict the dimerization and the relative energies.

The complexation characteristics of tetramethyl (1) and tetraethyl esters (2) of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene with alkali metal cations have been investigated by ab initio calculation. The structures of endo- or exocomplexation of the hosts in cone conformation with alkali metal ions have been optimized using HF/6-31G method followed by B3LYP/6-31G(d) single point calculation. B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations suggest that exo-complexation efficiencies of sodium ion to the cavity of lower rim of hosts 1 and 2 are 27.1 and 25.8 kcal/mol better than that of potassium ion, respectively. The exo-complexation efficiencies of potassium ion to the cavity of lower rim of hosts 1 and 2 are 33.3 and 31.5 kcal/mol better than the endo-complexation inside the upper rim (four aromatic rings) as expected from the experimental results. B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculation of the ethyl ester 2 shows 29.5 and 30.8 kcal/mol better exo-complexation efficiency for both sodium and potassium ions than the methyl ester 1.

Using ab initio calculations, we study the MgO(001) and Fe/MgO(001) surface phases and the effects of interface structure on the Fe/MgO magnetic anisotropy. The surface phase diagrams of MgO(001) and Fe/MgO(001) show that the most stable surface structures are either defect-free surface or the surfaces with oxygen vacancies in c($2{\times}1$) periodicity for the systems. By the formations of the oxygen vacancy rows on MgO(001) surface, the in-plane magnetic anisotropy energy of Fe overlayer is reduced while the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy is increased from 0.1 to 0.5 meV per Fe atom.

Using ab initio density functional theory, we study the structural and electronic properties of interface between Cu surface and highly electron withdrawing hexaazatriphenylene-hexanitrile (HAT-CN) known as an efficient hole injection layer for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). We calculate the equilibrium geometries of the interface with different HAT-CN coverages. Usually, some of C-N bonds located at the edge of the HAT-CN molecule are deformed toward Cu atoms resulting in the reconstruction of Cu surface. By analyzing the electron charge and the potential distributions over the interface, we observe the formation of surface dipoles, which modify the work function at the interface. Such dipole formation is attributed to two origins, one of which is a geometrical nature and the other is a bond dipole. The former is related to structural deformation mentioned above, whereas the latter is due to charge transfer between organic and metal surface.
