The search for ultra hard materials is inevitable in high pressure device applications. Nitrides of group-14 elements have been foreseen as potential candidates in replacing existing hard materials. In a recent experiment, pyrite structures…

The full potential all electron linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals (FP-LAPW + lo) method, as implemented in the suite of software WIEN2K, has been used to systematically investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic…

We analyze the basic structural units of simple reconstructions of the (111) surface of SrTiO3 using density functional calculations. The prime focus is to answer three questions: what is the most appropriate functional to use; how accurate…

The recent discovery of superconductivity in Sr-doped NdNiO$_2$, with a critical temperature of $10-15$ K suggests the possibility of a new family of nickel-based high-temperature superconductors (HTS). NdNiO$_{2}$ is the $n=\infty$ member…

We have studied the driving forces governing reconstructions on polar GaN surfaces employing first-principles total-energy calculations. Our results reveal properties not observed for other semiconductors, as for example a strong tendency…

Using atomistic simulations we investigate the thermodynamical properties of a single atomic layer of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). The thermal induced ripples, heat capacity, and thermal lattice expansion of large scale h-BN sheets are…

The electronic structure of nanolaminate Ti2AlN and TiN thin films has been investigated by bulk-sensitive soft x-ray emission spectroscopy. The measured Ti L, N K, Al L1 and Al L2,3 emission spectra are compared with calculated spectra…

An extensive theoretical study is performed for wide bandgap crystalline oxides and nitrides, namely, SiO_{2}, GeO_{2}, Al_{2}O_{3}, Si_{3}N_{4}, and Ge_{3}N_{4}. Their important polymorphs are considered which are for SiO_{2}:…

In an effort to extend the reach of current ab initio calculations to simulations requiring millions of configurations for complex systems such as heterostructures, we have parameterized the third-generation Charge Optimized Many-Body…

In this study, by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the thermal transport properties of hexagonal single-layer, zinc-blend and wurtzite phases of BN, AlN, and GaN crystals, which are very promising for the…

We study a newly predicted layered-ternary compound Ti4SiN3 in its {\alpha}- and {\beta}-phases. We calculate their mechanical, electronic and optical properties and then compare these with those of other compounds M4AX3 (M = V, Ti, Ta; A =…

Carbon nitride two-dimensional (2D) materials are among the most attractive class of nanomaterials, with wide range of application prospects. As a continuous progress, most recently, two novel carbon nitride 2D lattices of C3N5 and C3N4…

Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets are among 2D attractive materials due to presenting unusual physicochemical properties.Nevertheless, no adequate information exists about their mechanical and thermal properties. Therefore, we used…

A new superstructure of layered pristine LiNiO2 (LNO) was obtained optimizing a large supercell of the 166 space group, the one observed experimentally by XRD, and relaxing both cell parameters and internal positions. The crystal structure…

Due to the noticeable structural similarity and being neighborhood in periodic table of group-IV and -V elemental monolayers, whether the combination of group-IV and -V elements could have stable nanosheet structures with optimistic…

Using the density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), the structural and electronic properties of wurtzite AlN, GaN, InN, and their related alloys, Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N and In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N, were…

In this systematic density functional theory study, we compare a standard gradient corrected functional (PBE) with a long-range hybrid functional (HSE06), with and without correction for the dispersion forces, relatively to their ability to…

The results of first-principles electronic structure calculations for the nitrogen-rich nickel nitrides $ {\rm NiN} $ and $ {\rm Ni_2N} $ are presented. The calculations are based on density functional theory and used the generalized…

GaSb:N displays promise towards realization of optoelectronic devices accessing the mid-infrared wavelength regime. Theoretical and experimental results on its electronic and optical properties are however few. To address this, we present a…

Triphosphides, with a chemical formula of XP$_3$ (X is a group IIIA, IVA, or VA element), have recently attracted much attention due to their great potential in several applications. Here, using density functional theory calculations, we…
