Semipermeable silica membranes are attractive as protective coatings for metal electrocatalysts such as platinum but their impact on the catalytic properties has not been fully understood. Here, we develop a first principles formalism to…

We study the physical properties of MnAs under strain by using accurate first-principles pseudopotential calculations. Our results provide new insight on the physics of strained multilayer that are grown epitaxially on different lattice…

Strain engineering is a vital way to manipulate the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. As a typical representative of transition metal mono-chalcogenides (TMMs), a honeycomb CuSe monolayer features with one-dimensional…

We employ first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the structural, electronic, and catalytic properties of biphenylene supported on various metal substrates. The substrates considered are the (111)…

Sn adatoms on a Si(111) substrate with 1/3 monolayer coverage form a two-dimensional triangular adatom lattice with one unpaired electron per site and an antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state. The Sn layers can be modulation hole-doped…

Crystalline Si substrates are doped by laser annealing of solution processed Si. For this experiment, dispersions of highly B-doped Si nanoparticles (NPs) are deposited onto intrinsic Si and laser processed using an 807.5nm cw-laser. During…

Absence of the Dirac cone due to a strong band hybridization is revealed to be a common feature for epitaxial silicene on metal substrates according to our first-principles calculations for silicene on Ir, Cu, Mg, Au, Pt, Al, and Ag…

Silicene has been synthesized recently, with experimental evidence showing possible superconductivity in the doped case. The noncoplanar low-buckled structure of this material inspires us to study the pairing symmetry of the doped system…

Generally, it is supposed that the Fermi level in epitaxial graphene is controlled by two effects: p-type polarization doping induced by the bulk of the hexagonal SiC(0001) substrate and overcompensation by donor-like states related to the…

Using density-functional-theory we study the electronic and structural properties of a monolayer of Cu on the fcc (100) and (111) surfaces of the late 4d transition metals, as well as a monolayer of Pd on Mo bcc(110). We calculate the…

We present first-principles calculations of silicene/graphene and germanene/graphene bilayers. Various supercell models are constructed in the calculations in order to reduce the strain of the lattice-mismatched bilayer systems. Our…

Doping via electrostatic gating is a powerful and widely used technique to tune the electron densities in layered materials. The microscopic details of how these setups affect the layered material are, however, subtle and call for careful…

The deposition of one silicon monolayer on Ag(111) gives rise to a set of superstructures depending on growth conditions. These superstructures are correlated to the epitaxy between the honeycomb structure of silicon (so called silicene)…

A material which is an insulator entirely because of interaction effects is called a correlated insulator. Examples are trans-polyacetylene and the cuprate high temperature superconductors. Whereas doping of a band insulator results in a…
