Electronic structure and chemical bonding properties of UO(2)F(2) from first principles

Abstract(summary):

Band theoretical results are presented on UO(2)F(2) equi-oxyfluoride based on computation methods within the density functional theory. From pseudo-potential projector augmented wave PP-PAW calculations the equation of state is obtained with equilibrium properties in agreement with experiment. For isotropic volume change a bulk modulus of B(0)=150 GPa indicates a relatively soft material but anisotropic compression along the c-axis leads to excessive hardness. Scalar-relativistic all-electron calculations detailing the band structure point to little dispersion of the bands with a large band gap of similar to 3.2 eV. It is direct at Gamma and occurs between highest occupied valence band (VB) [U(f(Z3))-O(p)] and lowest unoccupied conduction band [U(f(x,y))]. Analyses of the density of states (PDOS) and chemical bonding properties show that the VB lower part is dominated by U(d)-F(p) bonding while the VB upper part comprises U(f)-O(p) strong covalent interactions. These results provide a band structure illustration of the complex uranyl cation UO(2)(2+) (C) 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
