A preliminary performance-based seismic design methodology is proposed. The top yield displacement of the system is computed from these of the components, which are assumed constant. Besides, a simple procedure to evaluate the top yield displacement of frames is developed. Seismic demands are represented in the form of yield point spectra. The methodology is general, conceptually transparent, uses simple calculations based on first principles and is applicable to asymmetric systems. To consider a specific situation two earthquake levels, occasional and rare are considered. The advantage of an arbitrary assignment of strength to the different components to reduce eccentricities and improved the torsional response of the system is addressed. The methodology is applied to an asymmetric five story building, and the results are verified by push-over analysis and non linear dynamic analysis.

Using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method, the influences of uniform and tetragonal strains on the magnetic state have been explored for chemically ordered bulk $L1_2$ $FePt_3$. The ordered state displays antiferromagnetic $Q_1$ (AFM-$Q_1$) state but it transitions into antiferromagnetic $Q_2$ (AFM-$Q_2$) state at about 10% uniform strain. The ferromagnetic (FM) state is observed at 11% uniform strain. For tetragonal strain, it is also seen that the transition from AFM-$Q_1$ to AFM-$Q_2$ depends on the strength and direction of the applied strain. The FM state does not appear in this case. Magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) calculations for tetragonal distortion reveal that the spin reorientation transition occurs. In addition, we find that the direction of magnetization and the magnitude of magnetic anisotropy energy strongly depend on the c/a ratio.

In this study, the electronic structures and physical properties of Ni$_2$MnGa alloy films and their dependence on the order-disorder structural transitions were investigated. The results show that the ordered films behave nearly the same as the bulk $Ni_2$MnGa alloy, including the martensitic transformation at 200 K. Unexpectedly, the disordering in $Ni_2$MnGa alloy films does not lead to any appreciable magnetic ordering down to 4 K. An annealing of the disordered films restores the ordered structure with an almost full recovery of the magnetic and the transport properties of the ordered $Ni_2$MnGa alloy films. A possible explanation of the disappearance of magnetic moment in the disordered film is given by using the ab initio first-principles electronic-structure calculations.

Recent multifunctional two-dimensional material research has triggered huge interests in various modifications for substitution of atoms. Instead of novel metals used as the most popular catalysts, nonprecious transition metals are promising candidates for efficient oxidation-reduction transfers. The recent discovery of $Co@C_2N$ has an alternate possiblity as catalysts for the ORR(Oxygen Reduction Reaction) in DSSc(Dye Sensitized Solar Cell) and OER(Oxygen evolution cobalt oxides). Here we report spin-polarized DFT calculations of the structure doped Iron that is one of ferromagnetism atoms like Co to provide a basic desciption of the ferromagnetism of the elemental metals. The spin-density-funtional results present the most stable state energetically is when having pairwise up/down spin.

Using ab initio density functional calculations, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of porous schwarzite structures formed by $sp^2$ carbon minimal surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature. We calculate the equilibrium geometries, elastic properties and electronic structure of two systems with cubic unit cells containing 152 and 200 carbon atoms, which are metallic and very rigid. The porous schwarzite structure can be efficiently doped by electron donors as well as accepors, making it a promising candidate for the next generation of alkali ion batteries. Furthermore, the schwarzite structures can be magnetic when doped and thus act as arrays of interconnected quantum spin dots. We also propose that two interpenetrating schwarzite structures be used as a ultimate super-capacitor.

We study lattice thermal conductivity of $Sb_2Te_3$ using molecular dynamics simulations. The interatomic potentials are fitted to reproduce total energy and elastic constants, and phonon properties calculated using the potentials are in reasonable agreement with first-principles calculations and experimental data. Our calculated lattice thermal conductivities of $Sb_2Te_3$ decrease with temperature from 150 K to 500 K. The in-plane lattice thermal conductivity of $Sb_2Te_3$ is higher than cross-plane lattice thermal conductivity of $Sb_2Te_3$, as in the case of $Bi_2Te_3$, which is consistent with the anisotropy of the elastic constants.

단층 $MoS_2$는 1H 상을 가질 때 에너지적으로 가장 안정하다고 알려져 있지만, 전자선 등을 이용하여 에너지를 가하면 1T 상으로 상전이를 일으킬 수 있다. 1T 상도 1H 상과 마찬가지로 상자성 상태가 에너지적으로 안정하지만 1H $MoS_2$에 국소적인 1T 상이 존재하는 구조는 자성을 가질 수 있음을 알았다. 본 연구에서 도입한 ($2{\times}2$) 초격자에 2H와 1T가 3 : 1의 비율로 존재하는 국소 1T 구조 일 때 계산된 자기모멘트는 약 $0.049{\mu}_B/MoS_2$이었으며, 초격자 내의 1T 환경의 Mo 원자가 대부분의 자기모멘트를 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 단층 $MoS_2$ 내에 자연스러운 자성/비자성 경계가 생성되므로 단층 $MoS_2$가 스핀트로닉스 소자로 응용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Using first-principles density-functional calculations, we investigate the chain reaction mechanism of allyl alcohol (ALA) molecules on the H-terminated Si(001)-2${\times}$1 surface. Recently, it was reported [1] that allyl mercaptan (ALM) molecules show a self-directed line growth across the dimer rows through a chain reaction involving several reaction processes: (i) The created radical at the C atom is transferred to the S atom, (ii) the resulting S-centered radical easily abstracts an H atom from the neighboring dimer row, and (iii) the generated S-H group further reacts with the neighboring dimer row to produce the Si-S bond on the neighboring dimer row, accompanying the associative desorption of H2. This H2-desorption process creates a new DB on the neighboring dimer row, setting off the chain reaction across the dimer rows. In the present study, we find that although the structure of ALA with -OH functional is analogous to that of ALM with -SH functional, ALA and ALM lines show a difference in their growth direction. We predict that ALA undergoes the chain reaction to show a line growth along the dimer row, contrasting with the ALM line growth across the Si dimer rows. Our analysis shows that the different growth direction of ALA is due to the strong instability of oxygen radical intermediate, which prevents from growing across the dimer rows. Thus, we demonstrate that the stability of the radical intermediate plays a crucial role in determining the direction of molecular line growth.

각기 암염(rocksalt: RS) 구조와 zinc-blende(ZB) 구조를 가지면서 덩치상태에서 반쪽금속성을 나타내는 NaN 화합물에서 표면의 전자구조를 계산하고 반쪽금속성이 표면에서도 유지되는지를 제일원리 전자구조 계산을 통해 검토하였다. 이를 위해 두 가지 원소를 모두 가진 표면, 즉 RS(001) 표면과 ZB(110) 표면을 고려하였다. 각각의 판에 대해 계산된 자기모멘트는 정수로서 이는 표면에서도 반쪽금속성이 유지됨을 나타낸다. 이러한 사실은 각 원자에 대한 상태밀도를 통해서도 확인할 수 있었다. 각각의 계에서 자기모멘트 값에 대해 N 원자들이 주된 기여를 하였고, 두 계 모두에서 표면 N 원자의 자기모멘트는 덩치 값에 비해 증가 하여 각기 $0.75{\mu}_B$를 가졌다. Na 원자가 자성에 기여하는 바는 미미하였으며 표면으로 갈수록 그 자기모멘트가 줄어들어 자성을 거의 나타내지 않았다. 반쪽금속성을 나타내는 띠간격의 크기는 가운데 층이나 표면층이나 큰 차이가 없었다.

The electronic state and chemical bonding of $\beta$-MnO$_2$ with transition metal dopants were theoretically investigated by DV-X$_{\alpha}$ (the discrete variational X$_{\alpha}$) method, which is a sort of the first principles molecular orbital method using the Hartree-Fock-Slater approximation. The calculations were performed with a $_Mn_{14}$ MO$_{56}$ )$^{-52}$ (M = transition metals) cluster model. The electron energy level, the density of states (DOS), the overlap population, the charge density distribution, and the net charges, were calculated. The energy level diagram of MnO$_2$ shows the different band structure and electron occupancy between the up spin states and down spin states. The dopant levels decrease between the conduction band and the valence band with the increase of the atomic number of dopants. The covalency of chemical bonding was shown to increase and ionicity decreased in increasing the atomic number of dopants. Calculated results were discussed on the basis of the interaction between transition metal 3d and oxygen 2p orbital. In conclusion it is expected that when the transition metals are added to MnO$_2$ the band gap decreases and the electronic conductivity increases with the increase of the atomic number of dopants. the atomic number of dopants.
