The electronic structure and phonon dispersion of XS$_2$ with X = Co, Tc, Ti, Ru, Nb, and Rh in the monolayer MoS$_2$ structure with trigonal-prismatic coordination are studied from first principles. Although each XS$_2$ is dynamically…

The crystal structure, mechanical properties and electronic structure of ground state BeH$_{2}$ are calculated employing the first-principles methods based on the density functional theory. Our calculated structural parameters at…

The current work reports on the elastic shear moduli, internal friction, and the specific heat of the B2 cubic ordered alloy AuZn as a function of temperature. Measurements were made on single-crystal and polycrystalline samples using…

The discovery of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at the interface between two insulating complex oxides, such as LaAlO3 (LAO) or gamma-Al2O3 (GAO) epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 (STO) 1,2, provides an opportunity for developing…

We present LDA+U calculations of high temperature elastic properties of bridgmanite with composition (Mg$_{(1-x)}$Fe$_{x}^{2+}$)SiO$_3$ for $0\le{x}\le0.125$. Results of elastic moduli and acoustic velocities for the Mg-end member (x=0)…

The electrodynamic properties of Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08})_2$As$_{2}$ and Ba(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05})_As$_{2}$ single crystals have been investigated by reflectivity measurements in a wide frequency range. In the metallic state, the optical…

We measure the transport properties of mechanically strained single crystals of BaFe$_{2}$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_{2}$ over a wide range of $x$. The N\'eel transition is extremely sensitive to stress and this sensitivity increases as optimal…

Clarifying the electronic and magnetic properties of lutetium, lutetium dihydride, and lutetium oxide is very helpful to understand the emergent phenomena in lutetium-based compounds (such as room-temperature superconductivity). However,…

MV$_2$Ga$_4$ (M = Sc, Zr, Hf) compounds belong to an emerging class of materials showing a unique combination of unusual superconducting behavior with extended linear chains in the crystal structure. In order to gain insights {into} its…

Vanadium dioxide is currently considered as one of the most promising metarials for oxide elcteronics. Both planar and sandwich thin-film MOM devices based on VO2 exhibit electrical switching with an S-shaped I-V characteristic, and this…

LaRh2X2 (X = Al, Ga, In) compounds crystallize in a tetragonal layered ThCr2Si2-type structure and belong to a family of low critical temperature superconductors. Using first-principles density functional theory calculations implemented in…

We report the first experimental evidence for a metallic phase in fluid molecular oxygen. Our electrical conductivity measurements of fluid oxygen under dynamic quasi-isentropic compression show that a non-metal/metal transition occurs at…

The effects of M atomic species mixing on the physical properties of newly synthesized MAX phase (Zr1-xTix)2AlC solid solutions have been studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The lattice constants in good accord…

Elastic constants are among the most fundamental and important properties of solid materials, which is why they are routinely characterized in both experiments and simulations. While conceptually simple, the treatment of elastic constants…
