The vibrational and structural properties of a hydrogen-rich Group IVa hydride, Ge(CH$_3$)$_4$, are studied by combining Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements at room temperature and at pressures up to 30.2 GPa.…
We report on the discovery of a high-entropy alloy with a hexagonal crystal structure. Equiatomic samples in the alloy system Ho-Dy-Y-Gd-Tb were found to solidify as homogeneous single-phase high-entropy alloys. The results of our electron…
A structure of germanium selenide glasses is simulated by the featured clusters built from the tetrahedral GeSe4 units up to the clusters with six germanium atoms (Ge6Se16H4 and Ge6Se16H8). Quantum chemical calculations at the DFT level…
Transition metal monochalcogenides comprise a class of two-dimensional materials with electronic band gaps that are highly sensitive to material thickness and chemical composition. Here, we explore the tunability of the electronic…
Research on graphene and other two-dimensional atomic crystals is intense and likely to remain one of the hottest topics in condensed matter physics and materials science for many years. Looking beyond this field, isolated atomic planes can…
Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate a family of stable two-dimensional crystals with chemical formula $A_2B_2$, where $A$ and $B$ belong to groups IV and V, respectively ($A$ = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb;…
$\gamma$-Graphyne is the most symmetric sp2/sp1 allotrope of carbon, which can be viewed as graphene uniformly expanded through insertion of two-carbon acetylenic units between all the aromatic rings. To date, synthesis of bulk…
Potentially new, single-atom thick semiconducting 2D-graphene-like material, called Anisotropic-cyclicgraphene, have been generated by the two stage searching strategy linking molecular and ab initio approach. The candidate derived from the…
High-quality defect-free lonsdaleite Si and Ge can now be grown on hexagonal nanowire substrates. These hexagonal phases of group-IV semiconductors have been predicted to exhibit improved electronic and optical properties for optoelectronic…
Germanium selenide (GeSe) is a unique two-dimensional (2D) material showing various polymorphs stable at ambient condition. Recently, a new phase with a layered hexagonal lattice ({\gamma}-GeSe) was synthesized with ambient stability and…
${\gamma}$-GeSe is a new type of layered bulk material that was recently successfully synthesized. By means of density functional theory first-principles calculations, we systematically studied the physical properties of two-dimensional…
Note this is a rather coarse version of our manuscript since uploading tex files are necessary (we are not willing to upload all tex files). The existence of BiXenes, a new family of 2D monolayers is here predicted. Theoretically, BiXenes…
A hexagonal structure of solid molecular hydrogen with $P6_122$ symmetry is calculated to be more stable below about 200 GPa than the monoclinic $C2/c$ structure identified previously as the best candidate for phase III. We find that the…
Improving the thermoelectric efficiency is one of the greatest challenges in materials science. The recent discovery of excellent thermoelectric performance in simple orthorhombic SnSe crystal offers new promise in this prospect [Zhao et…
Atomically thin films of III-VI post-transition metal chalcogenides (InSe and GaSe) form an interesting class of two-dimensional semiconductor that feature strong variations of their band gap as a function of the number of layers in the…
A structural study is presented of ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations of Ge-As-Se calcogenide glasses performed at the same mean coordination number but differing stoichiometry ranging between Se rich and Se poor glasses. Starting…
Recent advances in nanowire synthesis have enabled the realization of crystal phases that in bulk are attainable only under extreme conditions, i.e. high temperature and/or high pressure. For group IV semiconductors this means access to…
We report a novel kind of dodecagonal quasicrystal that has so far never been observed, nor theoretically predicted. It is composed of axially stacked hexagonal particle layers, with 12-fold rotational symmetry induced by 30 degrees…
Two-dimension (2D) semiconductor materials have attracted much attention and research interest for their novel properties suitable for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this paper, we have proposed an idea in new 2D materials…
Recently-synthesised MoSi$_2$N$_4$ is the first septuple layer two-dimensional material, which doesn't naturally occurs as a layered crystal, and has been obtained with CVD growth. It can be considered as MoN$_2$ crystal (with a crystal…
