The relative stability of SiC polytypes, changing with temperature, has been considered a paradox for about thirty years, due to discrepancies between theory and experiments. Based on ab-initio calculations including van der Waals…

Density functional theory calculations with a correction of the long-range dispersion force, namely the van der Waals (vdW) force, are performed for SiC polytypes. The lattice parameters are in good agreement with those obtained from…

The divacancy comprising two neighboring vacant sites in the SiC lattice is a promising defect for applications in quantum technology. So far, most work is concerned with the divacancy in 4H-SiC, whereas the divacancies in 6H- and 3C-SiC…

Electric field, uniform within the slab, emerging due to Fermi level pinning at its both sides is analyzed using DFT simulations of the SiC surface slabs of different thickness. It is shown that for thicker slab the field is nonuniform and…

This communication presents a comparative study on the charge transport (in transient and steady state) in bulk n-type doped SiC-polytypes: 3C-SiC, 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC. The time evolution of the basic macrovariables: the electron drift…

The thermochromic properties (color change with temperature) of n type doped SiC wafers of different polytypes (3C, 4H and 6H) have been investigated up to 500$^\circ$C under air. It was found that 3C-SiC color passes from bright yellow at…

Polymorphism in materials often leads to significantly different physical properties - the rutile and anatase polymorphs of TiO2 are a prime example. Polytypism is a special type of polymorphism, occurring in layered materials when the…

Stacking fault energy dictates phase stability and deformation behavior in Co alloys and WC-Co cemented carbides, yet a quantitative assessment of alloying effects at finite temperatures remains poorly established. By integrating…

In the framework of the suggested in [arxiv:1803.08247 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci]] statistical theory of the equilibrium flow stress, including yield strength, ${\sigma}_y$, of polycrystalline materials under quasi-static (in case of tensile…

The total energy differences between various SiC polytypes (3C, 6H, 4H, 2H, 15R and 9R) were calculated using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method using the Perdew-Wang-(91) generalized gradient approximation to the…

We present a joint theoretical and experimental study to investigate polymorphism in $\alpha$-sexithiophene (6T) crystals. By means of density-functional theory calculations, we clarify that the low-temperature phase is favorable over the…

BaTiO3 (BTO) is one of the most interesting classes of perovskite materials. The present study has been complied to explore some physical properties such as mechanical, vibrational, thermo-physical, and temperature dependent thermodynamic…

We present density functional theory (DFT) calculations for 6H-SiC$\{0001\}$ surfaces with different surface stackings and terminations. We compare the relative stability of different $(0001)$ and $(000\bar1)$ surfaces in terms of their…

Path-integral molecular dynamics simulations in the isothermal-isobaric (NPT) ensemble have been carried out to study the dependence of the lattice parameter of 3C-SiC upon isotope mass. This computational method allows a quantitative and…

We have studied the electronic band properties of 2H-SiC and 4H-SiC silicon carbide polytypes. The structures of the electronic bands and density of state (DOS) using ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) were calculated for the first…

We present a first-principles investigation of structural and elastic properties of experimentally observed phases of bulk SrRuO$_3$ - namely orthorhombic, tetragonal, and cubic - by applying density functional theory (DFT) approximations.…

We investigate crystalline thermodynamic stable lithium silicides phases (LixSiy) with density functional theory (DFT) and a force-field method based on modified embedded atoms (MEAM) and compare our results with experimental data. This…

We address the stability of the surface phases that occur on the C-side of 3C-SiC($\bar{1} \bar{1} \bar{1}$) at the onset of graphene formation. In this growth range, experimental reports reveal a coexistence of several surface phases. This…

Inspired by the synthesis of XB3C3 (X= Sr, La) compounds in the bipartite sodalite clathrate structure, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed on members of this family containing up to two different metal atoms. A…

Transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit a wide range of semiconducting, metallic, correlated, and topological electronic states that arise from strong coupling between lattice structure, dimensionality, and electronic degrees of freedom.…
