Based on first principles calculations, we predict and characterize the flexibility of two aluminium-based Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), CAU-13 and NOTT-300. Both materials have a wine rack topology similar to that of MIL-53(Al), the…
Recently discovered 2D van der Waals magnetic materials, and specifically Iron-Germanium-Telluride ($\rm Fe_{5}GeTe_{2}$), have attracted significant attention both from a fundamental perspective and for potential applications. Key open…
Today the study of two-dimensional (2D) materials has become one of the key objectives of materials science. Unlike their three-dimensional counterparts, 2D materials can simultaneously demonstrate unique transport and mechanical properties…
