This article reviews recent experimental investigations on two binary Fe-chalcogenides: FeSe and Fe$_{1+y}$Te. The main focus is on synthesis, single crystal growth, chemical composition, as well as on the effect of excess iron on…
Material with metallic $\sigma$-bonding bands is expected to be a high-temperature superconductor, due to the sensitivity of $\sigma$ electrons to lattice vibration. Based on the first-principles calculations, electronic structures of…
Five single-phase WB2- and MoB2-containing high-entropy borides (HEBs) have been made via reactive spark plasma sintering of elemental boron and metals. A large reactive driving force enables the full dissolution of 10-20 mol. % WB2 to form…
Light-element compounds hold great promise of high critical temperature superconductivity judging from the theoretical perspective. Hydrogen-rich material, benzene, is such a kind of candidate but also an organic compound. A series of…
The discovery of high critical temperature T_{c} superconductivity in highly compressed H_{3}S has opened up the question of searching for strong electron-phonon coupling in the hydrides outside the transition metal series. The specific…
We report high-pressure induced superconductivity in boron nanowires (BNWs) with rhombohedral crystal structure. Obviously different from bulk rhombohedral boron, these BNWs show a semiconductor-metal transition at much lower pressure than…
Two-dimensional (2D) structures of boron atoms so called borophene, have recently attracted remarkable attention. In a latest exciting experimental study, a hydrogenated borophene structure was realized. Motivated by this success, we…
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…
Two-dimensional graphene exhibits many fascinating properties such as ballistic electronic conduction and quantum Hall effect at room temperature.1-4 Graphene doped electrochemically or through charge-transfer with electron-donor and…
Polynitrogen molecules represent the ultimate high energy-density materials as they have a huge potential chemical energy originating from their high enthalpy. However, synthesis and storage of such compounds remain a big challenge because…
We investigate the vibrational and magnetic properties of thin layers of chromium tribromide (CrBr$_3$) with a thickness ranging from three to twenty layers (3~L to 20~L) revealed by the Raman scattering (RS) technique. Systematic…
The finding of superconductivity in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 put the attention on the investigation of compounds that crystallize with ThCr2Si2 structure type such as AT2X2 (A = alkali/ alkaline earth/ rare earth element; T = transition metal and X…
We report a joint experimental and theoretical study of the structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of layered monoclinic arsenic sulfide (alpha-As2S3), aka mineral orpiment, under compression. X-ray diffraction and Raman…
Motivated by advances in hydrogen-rich superconductors in the past decades, we conducted variable-composition structural searches in Mo-H binary system at high pressure. A new composition-pressure phase diagram of thermodynamically stable…
We report high pressure Raman experiments of Black phosphorus up to 24 GPa. The line widths of first order Raman modes A$^1_g$, B$_{2g}$ and A$^2_g$ of the orthorhombic phase show a minimum at 1.1 GPa. Our first-principles density…
The (Cd, Be)Te semiconductor alloy that exhibits a dramatic mismatch in bond covalency and stiffness clarifying its vibrational and mechanical properties is used as a benchmark to test the limits of the percolation model (PM) worked out to…
The discovery of the first high critical temperature (Tc) transition metal diboride superconductor, MgB2 structure alpha-MoB2 under pressure with Tc up to 32 K at 100 GPa, provides new input into some unexplained aspects of electron-phonon…
Highly stable ozone and hydrogen sensing elements were fabricated based on well-crystalline rounded cube-shaped CsPbBr$_3$ submicron crystals, synthesized by a facile solution process performed under ambient conditions. It is shown that…
By using solid-state reactions, we successfully synthesize new oxyselenides CsV$_2$Se$_{2-x}$O (x = 0, 0.5). These compounds containing V$_2$O planar layers with a square lattice crystallize in the CeCr$_2$Si$_2$C structure with the space…
The search of new superhard materials has received a strong impulse by industrial demands for low-cost alternatives to diamond and $c$-BN, such as metal borides. In this Letter we introduce a new family of superhard materials, "fused…
