Density Functional Theory Calculations of Magnesium Hydride: A Comparison of Bulk and Nanoparticle Thermodynamics

Density functional theory calculations have been performed on a range of magnesium and magnesium hydride nanoclusters to examine the 1 bar desorption temperatures. The vibrational entropies and enthalpies are calculated for each cluster, within the harmonic approximation, which permits calculation o...
