Molecular rings of N carbon atoms, that is, cyclo[N]carbons, or C$_N$, can be formed by tip-induced chemistry [1-7]. Because of their monocyclic geometry, cyclocarbons are fundamentally important for testing theoretical models of…

Both even- and odd-numbered neutral carbon clusters Cn (n = 2-10) are systematically studied using the energy minimization method and the modified Brenner potential for the carbon-carbon interactions. Many stable configurations were found…

A ring-shaped carbon allotrope was recently synthesized for the first time, reinvigorating theoretical interest in this class of molecules. The dual $\pi$ structure of these molecules allows for the possibility of novel electronic…

The electronic structure of C_(4N+2) carbon rings exhibits competing many-body effects of Huckel aromaticity, second-order Jahn-Teller and Peierls instability at large sizes. This leads to possible ground state structures with aromatic,…

Based on C8, carbon 4C, with cfc topology, two hybrid carbon allotropes generated by inserting C(sp2) and C(sp1) carbon atoms into C8 diamond-like lattice were identified and labeled ene-C10 containing C(sp2) and ene-yne-C14 containing…

With the motivation of discovering high-temperature superconductors, evolutionary algorithm is employed to search for all stable compounds in the Sn-H system. In addition to the traditional SnH$_4$, new hydrides SnH$_8$, SnH$_{12}$ and…

The radiative cooling rates of C$_N^+$ clusters ($N = 9, 11, 12, 17-27$) have been measured in the ultrahigh vacuum of an electrostatic storage ring to values on the order of $10^4$ s$^{-1}$. The rates were measured as a competing channel…

Using the density functional theory combined with dynamical mean-field theory, we have performed systematic study of the electronic structure and its band topology properties of Ce$_3$Pt$_3$Bi$_4$ and Ce$_3$Pd$_3$Bi$_4$. At high…

The zig-zag Nitrogen (N) chain similar to the Ch-N structure has long been considered a potential high energy density structure. However, all previously predicted zig-zag N chain structures similar to Ch-N exhibit imaginary frequencies in…

The structural, electronic, and vibrational thermodynamic properties of the (ZnO)$_n$ (n=2-16) clusters are studied using density functional - full potential computations. The results show, small clusters up to $n=9$ stabilize in the 2D…

A third monolayer of tin atoms on the semiconductor substrate Si(111) has been shown to become superconducting upon six to ten percent hole doping. Experiments have reported promising results hinting at a superconducting chiral $d$-wave…

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…

TThe stability of Ngn@B12N12 and Ngn@B16N16 systems is assessed through a density functional study and ab initio simulation. Although they are found to be thermodynamically unstable with respect to the dissociation of individual Ng atoms…

Recently, Mitsuhashi et al., have observed superconductivity with transition temperature up to 18 K in potassium doped picene (C22H14), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound [Nature 464 (2010) 76]. Theoretical analysis indicate the…

We examine the vibrational stability of three candidate structures for the B24N24 cage and report their infra-red (IR) and Raman spectra. The candidate structures considered are a round cage with octahedral O symmetry, a cage with S_4…

The theoretical formalism of the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT) has been used to study the electronic and geometric structures of SimCn (1<=m, n<=4;n<=m) clusters. An all electron 6-311++G** basis set…

Based on density functional theory the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo_3Al_2C in its well established {\beta}-Mn type ($P4_{1}32$) crystal structure is investigated. In particular, its thermodynamical and dynamical stabilities are…

4H silicon carbide (SiC) polytype is preferred over other SiC polytypes for high-power, high-voltage, and high-frequency applications due to its superior electrical, thermal, and structural characteristics. In this manuscript, we provide a…
