  • We studied the thermal and electron properties of covalent one-dimensional (1D) monatomic linear chains of carbon, particularly carbyne. We found the ${\alpha}$-carbyne (Polyyne, alternating single and triple C-C bond co-existing) is more stable than ${\beta}$-carbyne (Equally-spaced based on C-C double bond) energetically. As investigation of electron density of states (EDOS), polyyne and cumulene had different electronic characteristic, which corresponding metallic and semiconducting respectively. We also calculate the phonon dispersion, phonon density of states (PDOS) and phonon transmission of carbynes.

  • Band convergence is known to be effective in improving thermoelectric performance by increasing the Seebeck coefficient without significantly reducing electrical conductivity. Decoupling of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity in converged bands is the key requirement. Yet, the degree of decoupling depends on the band parameters of the converging bands. Herein, we report theoretical transport properties of two valence bands as their energy difference changes from 0.25 eV to 0 eV. In order to demonstrate the effect of band parameters in transport, we first conducted calculations for the case where the two bands have the same parameters. Then, we conducted the same calculation by doubling the density-of-states effective mass of one valence band. Given that there are two bands, each band's effective mass was doubled one at a time while the other band's effective mass remained constant. We found that the decoupling was strongest when the bands participating in convergence had the same band parameters.

  • By use of cluster orbitals, analytic solutions of finite face-centered cubic clusters are obtained. Taking interactions between up to the second nearest neighbors into account, the forms of all the elements of the Hamiltonian matrix are found explicitly within Huckel approximation. By adopting $D_{2k}$ point group to the cluster, the matrix is simplified. We assume that the cluster orbitals can mix together only when their state indices are indentical. It is then possible to calculate various physical properties of face-centered cubic metal clusters and example are shown for palladium clusters. The results show that density of states and projected density of states are similar, qualitatively, with those obtained by extended Huckel calculation.

  • The switching characteristics of As$_{10}$ Ge$_{15}$ Te$_{75}$ thin film were investigated under d.c. bias. And the frequency dependence of the conductivity was analysed with regard to the temperature dependence, in order to find the physical properties of the As$_{10}$ Ge$_{15}$ Te$_{75}$ thin film ; a characteristic relaxation time (.tau.$_{0}$ ), the spatial density of defect states (N), and the localized wavefunction (.alpha.$^{-1}$ ). It was formed that the threshold voltage depends on thickness, electrode distance, annealing time and temperature, respectively. The threshold voltage is increased as the thickness and the electrode distance is increased, while the threshold voltage is decreased in proportion to the increased annealing time and temperature.

  • As an application of the cluster orbitals proposed previously, nickel-, palladium-, and platinum-hydrogen systems are studied. Density of states, projected density of states, HOMO levels, and stabilization energies are calculated and compared with those obtained by extended Huckel method for small clusters. These calculations are extended to large clusters to find the size dependence of several physical quantities. Reduced overlap populations are also calculated to clarify the charge transfer phenomena reported earlier. The calculated physical quantities show no dependence on the cluster size. It is also found that the charge transfer occurs due to the intrinsic character of palladium, not due to the edge effect which may be present in small clusters.

  • We analyze state-level matching efficiencies in the Indian labor market using stochastic frontier analysis. The key contribution of this research is the estimation of matching efficiencies at the state level because these can be used for a state-level measure of labor market conditions. Next, we explore the relationship between the estimated matching efficiencies and population density, labor market flexibility, and the Ease of Doing Business index, respectively. The results show that matching efficiency is heterogeneous across states with considerable variation in accordance with the regional diversity in India. However, we find that there is little relationship between the estimated matching efficiencies and the labor market conditions of interest, suggesting that other regional diversity affects matching efficiencies across states in India.

  • Very recently, it was presented that the one dimensional (1D) CuO atomic chains can maintain large magnetic moments. In this work, we analyzed m-resolved density of states (DOS) to understand the peculiar spin polarization occurred in Cu atoms. It was found that the $\mid{m}\mid=1$ states play an essential role in the spin polarization of Cu atoms. In addition, we calculated magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) and observed that the distribution of MAE is strongly sensitive to the interatomic distance between Cu and O atoms. Besides, it was revealed that the contribution to MAE comes for the second half of Brillouin zone (BZ).

  • The structural and magnetic properties of functionalized carbon chains doped with 4d transition metals, such as Ru, Rh, and Pd, were investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The carbon nanowire doped with Ru exhibited a ferromagnetic ground state with a sizable magnetic moment, while those doped with Rh and Pd had nonmagnetic ground states. For the Ru-doped chain, the density of states at the Fermi level showed large spin polarization, which suggests that the doped nanowire could be used for spintronic applications.

  • A two dimensional pseudo-homogeneous model for the methanol reforming reaction was developed and its steady and dynamic states were studied by a computer simulation. The reactor tube diameter, the catalyst density in the fixed bed, the feed flow rate, the feed temperature and the external temperature were chosen to be adjusted to determine the length of the reactor. The dynamics of the reactor showed that the system was highly nonlinear and sensitive to the feed disturbances.
