The characteristics of structures were obtained on basis of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) embedded within the framework of Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and utilized Pardew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional (PBE) and spin-polarized wave functions. We found that the modeled forms of gold carbide exhibited no ferromagnetism while maintaining metallic ground state. The calculation showed the dominance of optical transitions which preserved spin. date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Nguyen, Khac Thuan and Vuong, Van Hiep and Do, Thi Kim Anh and Hoang, Nam Nhat (2015) Stable Gold Carbide Nanostructures.
