We review recent developments in the modelling of the phase diagram and the kinetics of crystallization of carbon. In particular, we show that a particular class of bond-order potentials (the so-called LCBOP models) account well for many of…
New carbon forms exhibiting extraordinary physico-chemical properties can be generated from nanostructured precursors under extreme pressure. Nevertheless, synthesis of such fascinating materials is often not well understood that results,…
Noting the structural relationships between phases of carbon and boron carbide with phases of boron nitride and boron subnitride, we investigate their mutual solubilities using a combination of first principles total energies supplemented…
Three new novel phases of carbon nitride (CN) bilayer, which are named as \alpha-C$_{2}$N$_{2}$, \beta-C$_{2}$N$_{2}$ and \gamma-C$_{4}$N$_{4}$, respectively, have been predicted in this paper. All of them are consisted of two CN sheets…
We investigated the stability of polymeric CO2 over a wide range of pressures, temperatures, and chemical environments. We find that the I-42d polymeric structure, consisting of a three-dimensional network of corner sharing CO4 tetrahedra,…
Carbon nanotubes tend to collapse when their diameters exceed a certain threshold, or when a sufficiently large external pressure is applied on their walls. Their radial stability of tubes has been studied in each of these cases, however a…
Based on crystal chemistry considerations and quantum density functional theory ground state calculations, rhombohedral rh-C3 and hexagonal h-C6 carbon allotropes are proposed and energetically calculated as new stable ultra-hard phases…
Two-dimensional alloys of carbon and nitrogen represent an urgent interest due to prospective applications in nanomechanical and optoelectronic devices. Stability of these chemical structures must be understood as a function of their…
In the last decades severe plastic deformation techniques have gained increasing interest as they allow the production of bulk nanostructured materials with superior mechanical and functional properties. However, because of mechanically…
The structures of compressed rubidium polyhydrides, RbHn with n>1, and their evolution under pressure are studied using density functional theory calculations. These phases, which start to stabilize at only P=2 GPa, consist of Rb+ cations…
We synthesize macroscopically long linear carbon chains (carbynes) in a colloidal solution, then deposit them on a surface. The method is based on the formation of carbon threads by laser ablation in a colloid accompanied by the…
We stabilize monoatomic carbon chains in water by attaching them to gold nanoparticles (NPs) by means of the laser ablation process. Resulting nanoobjects represent pairs of NPs connected by multiple straight carbon chains of several…
Carbon disulfide, CS$_2$, is an archetypal double-bonded molecular system belonging to the rich class of group IV-group VI, AB$_2$ compounds. It is widely and since long time believed that upon compression at several GPa a polymeric chain…
A new type of heavy transition metal carbide (TMC), Ru2C with a space group of p3 - m1(164) was synthesized experimentally at high pressurehigh temperature [J Phys. Condens. Matter. 2012 Sep 12; 24(36): 362202.] and it was consequently…
Two dimensional (2D) materials with a finite band gap and high carrier mobility are sought after materials from both fundamental and technological perspectives. In this paper, we present the results based on the particle swarm optimization…
Almost all the polymer crystals have several polymorphic modifications. Their structure and existence conditions, as well as transitions between them are not understood even in the case of the 'model' polymer polyethylene (PE). For analysis…
Based on first-principles calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, the polymerisation of the unsaturated cis dinitrogen-difluoride (cis-N2F2) molecular compound is investigated. The thermodynamic, dynamical and thermal…
In recent years, many new materials have been developed and prepared to improve the performance of light-harvesting technologies and to develop new and attractive applications. The problem of stability of long-term operation of various…
Many layered materials can be cleaved down to individual atomic planes, similar to graphene, but only a small minority of them are stable under ambient conditions. The rest reacts and decomposes in air, which has severely hindered their…
We present a paradigm in constructing very stable, faceted nanotube and fullerene structures by laterally joining nanoribbons or patches of different planar phosphorene phases. Our ab initio density functional calculations indicate that…
