摘要

Density functional theory (DFT) was used to predict and study protactinium pentoxide (Pa _(2) O _(5) ), which presents a fluorite and layered protactinium oxide-type structure. Although the layered structure has been observed with the isostructural transition Nb and Ta metal pentoxides experimentally, the detailed structure and properties of the layered Pa _(2) O _(5) are not clear and understandable. Our theoretical prediction explored some possible stable structures of the Pa _(2) O _(5) stoichiometry according to the existing M _(2) O _(5) structures (where M is an actinide Np or transition Nb, Ta, and V metal) and replacing the M ions with protactinium ions. The structural, mechanical, thermodynamic and electronic properties including lattice parameters, bulk moduli, elastic constants, entropy and band gaps were predicted for all the simulated structures. Pa _(2) O _(5) in the β-V _(2) O _(5) structure was found to be a competitive structure in terms of stability, whereas Pa _(2) O _(5) in the ζ-Nb _(2) O _(5) structure was found to be the most stable overall. This is consistent with Sellers's experimental observations. In particular, Pa _(2) O _(5) in the ζ-Nb _(2) O _(5) structure is predicted to be charge-transfer insulators. Furthermore, we predict that ζ-Nb _(2) O _(5) -structured Pa _(2) O _(5) is the most thermodynamically stable under ambient conditions and pressure.
