We investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the hypothetical compound BaFePn2 (Pn = As and Sb), which is isostructural to the parent compound of the high temperature superconductor LaFeAsO1-xFx. Using density…
212 MAX phase borides are new additions to the MAX phase family with enhanced thermo-mechanical properties. In this article, first-principles calculations have been carried out to explore the mechanical properties, Vickers hardness, elastic…
Using density functional theory calculations, many researchers have predicted that various tungsten-nitride compounds WN$_x$ ($x$ > 1) will be "ultra-compressible" or "superhard", $i.e.$ as hard as or harder than diamond. These compounds…
The structural modifications of polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride implanted with He+ ion beams at energies between 200 keV and 1.2 MeV to fluences of 1.0 \times 1017 ions \cdot cm-2 were investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy.…
A recent experimental study reported the successful synthesis of an orthorhombic FeB4 with a high hardness of 62 GPa, which has reignited extensive interests on whether transition metal borides (TRBs) compounds will become superhard…
Two dimensional few-layer black phosphorus crystal structures have recently fabricated and demonstrated great potential in applications of electronics. In this work, we employed first principles density functional theory calculations to…
The groundbreaking works in graphene and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) over the past decade, and the recent discovery of borophene draw immediate attention to the underexplored borophene nanoribbons (BNRs). We herein report a density…
We have studied zig-zag boron nitride (BN) nanotubes doped with the Ni hexagonal-closepacked nanowire. The doped BN nanotubes are ferromagnetic metals with substantial magnetism. Some special magnetic properties resulting from the…
The pressure-induced transformation of diatomic nitrogen into non-molecular polymeric phases may produce potentially useful high-energy-density materials. We combine first-principles calculations with structure searching to predict a new…
We calculate the structural and electronic properties of OsB2 using density functional theory with or without taking into account spin-orbit (SO) interaction. Our results show that the bulk modulus with and without SO interaction are 364…
We report the growth of high quality rhombohedral boron nitride (rBN) crystals by the iron flux method at atmospheric pressure. In contrast to the lamellar structure of standard hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) covering the metal ingot, the…
Despite great technological importance and many investigations, a material with measured hardness comparable to that of diamond or cubic boron nitride has yet to be identified. Combined theoretical and experimental investigations led to the…
The dinitrides CN2, SiN2, and GeN2 in assumed pyrite-type structures are studied by means of density functional theory using both ultrasoft pseudopotentials and the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. The former two materials constitute…

Amorphous materials exhibit various characteristics that are not featured by crystals and can sometimes be tuned by their degree of disorder (DOD). Here, we report results on the mechanical properties of monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) and…
Using density functional tight-binding method, we studied the elastic properties, deformation and failure of armchair (AC) and zigzag (ZZ) phosphorene nano tubes (PNTs) under uniaxial tensile strain. We found that the deformation and…
