By means of density-functional calculations, we systematically investigated 24 transition metals for possible metastable phases in body-centered tetragonal structure (bct), including face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc)…
We have investigated the trends in the formation of carbon vacancies in binary transition metal (TM) carbides using density functional calculations for two common TM carbide crystal structures, namely the B1 (rock-salt) and WC structure…
We report on the theoretical discovery of Iron monocarbide binary sheets stabilized at two-dimensional confined space, which we call tetragonal-FeC (t-FeC) and orthorhombic-FeC (o-FeC), respectively. From the energy viewpoint, the proposed…
We critically reexamine the superconducting properties of rock-salt transition-metal carbides (TMCs), often regarded as textbook conventional superconductors, combining first-principles electron-phonon calculations with variable-composition…
Transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTs), a family of van der Waals materials, have gained increasing interests from the discovery of magnetism in few-layer forms. Although TMTs with 3d transition metal elements have been studied…
Monoclinic CuO is anomalous both structurally as well as electronically in the 3$d$ transition metal oxide series. All the others have the cubic rock salt structure. Here we report the synthesis and electronic property determination of a…
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are renowned for their rich and varied properties. They range from metals and superconductors to strongly spin-orbit-coupled semiconductors and charge-density-wave systems, with their single-layer…
Electronic structure of strongly correlated transition metal oxides (TMOs) is a complex phenomenon due to competing interaction among the charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom. Often individual compounds are examined to…
Conceptual 2D group III nitrides and oxides (e.g., 2D InN and 2D InO) in heterostructures with graphene have been realized by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). MOCVD is credited with being central to fabrication of established…
Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) nanoparticles and thin films are particularly suitable catalysts for catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) as they are effective for deoxygenation and can catalyze certain reactions that typically occur on noble metals.…
We show that the previously predicted Fermion particle that has no analogue in the standard model of particle theory - the cubically dispersed Dirac semimetal (CDSM) - is realized in a specific, stable solid state system that has been made…
