  • Title: Periodic Hartree-Fock and density functional theory calculations for Li-doped polyacetylene chains.
    Author: Ramírez-Solís A, Zicovich-Wilson CM, Kirtman B.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2006 Jun 28; 124(24):244703. PubMed ID: 16821992.
    Abstract:
    We have performed periodic restricted Hartree-Fock/6-31G** and B3LYP6-31G** density functional theory calculations on Li-doped trans-polyacetylene at various dopant concentrations, using C(2m)H(2m)Li2 unit cells (m = 7-14). Except for maintaining P1 rod symmetry the geometry was completely optimized for both uniform and nonuniform doping structures. In addition to geometry we obtain atomic charges, along with soliton formation and dopant binding energies, as well as band structures and densities of states. A thorough analysis of the band structure and density of states, as a function of dopant concentration, is presented. We also characterize the complex nature of the binding interaction between Li and the polyacetylene chain.
