Research on two-dimensional van der Waals materials has demonstrated that the layer degree of freedom can significantly alter the physical properties of materials due to the substantial modification of bulk bands. Inspired by this concept,…
The bulk band structure of Bi$_2$Te$_3$ has been determined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and compared to first-principles calculations. We have performed calculations using the local density approximation (LDA) of density…
The dispersive interaction between nanotubes is investigated through ab initio theory calculations and in an analytical approximation. A van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] is used to determine and…
Structural stability and electronic properties of alkaline-earth metals (Ca, Sr, Ba) induced Si(111)-3x2 surfaces have been comprehensively studied by means of ab initio calculations. Adsorption energy and charge density difference…

Periodicity is usually assumed to be the necessary and sufficient condition for the formation of band gaps, i.e., energy bands with a suppressed density of states. Here, we check this premise by analyzing the band gap properties of three…
Based on a successful description of II-VI ternary alloys, which introduces an empirical bowing parameter to the widely used virtual crystal approximation, we set up a tight-binding Hamiltonian to describe the Zn_{1-y}Cd_ySe_{1-x}Te_x and…
The van der Waals (vdW) interaction plays a prominent role between neutral objects at separations where short ranged chemical forces are negligible. This type of dispersive coupling is determined by the interplay between geometry and…
Td-WTe2 is a topological Weyl semimetal. WTe2 in the orthorhombic structure is stable at room temperature. Elastic, electronic, bonding, and optoelectronic properties of WTe2 have been investigated in detail in this work using the density…
Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH) provide an ideal playground for exploring light-matter interactions at the atomic scale. In particular, structures with a type-II band alignment can yield detailed insight into free carrier-to-photon…
Three-dimensional pentamode metamaterials are artificial solids that approximately behave like liquids, which have vanishing shear modulus. Pentamodes have recently become experimental reality. Here, we calculate their phonon band…
