We report a theoretical \textit{ab-initio} study of $\beta$-As$_2$Te$_3$ ($R\bar{3}m$ symmetry) at hydrostatic pressures up to 12 GPa. We have systematically characterized the vibrational and electronic changes of the system induced by the…

CaSb$_2$ is the Dirac line-nodal material that exhibits a superconducting (SC) transition at 1.7 K. In spite of its conventional SC state at ambient pressure, the transition temperature $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ shows a peak structure against…

We report a density-functional theory study of the structural and electronic properties of Cd2V2O7 under high-pressure conditions. The calculations have been performed by using first-principle calculations with the CRYSTAL program. The…

Silicon telluride (Si2Te3) is a two-dimensional material with a unique variable structure where the silicon atoms form Si-Si dimers to fill the "metal" sites between the Te layers. The Si-Si dimers have four possible orientations: three…

This study presents a first principles investigation of the structural, thermodynamic, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of aluminum antimonide (AlSb) in its cubic (F-43m) and hexagonal (P63mc) phases. Both structures are…

Identifying materials hosting an excitonic insulator ground state has been one of the major pursuits in condensed matter physics in recent years. Promising candidates in transition metal chalcogenide compounds (TMC), including…

Pressure not only provides a powerful way to tune the crystal structure of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) but also promotes the discovery of exotic electronic states and intriguing phenomena. Structural transitions from the…

The effect of pressure on the structural properties of lanthanum sesquicarbide La2C3 (T_c = 13 K) has been investigated at room temperature by angle-dispersive powder x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell. The compound remains in the…

Binary uranium hydrides, UHx (x = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8), with different crystal symmetries are potentially interesting compounds for high-Tc superconductivity and as hydrogen storage systems. In this work we have explored the structural,…

Two-dimensional electron systems with fascinating properties exist in multilayers of standard semiconductors, on helium surfaces, and in oxides. Compared to the two-dimensional (2D) electron gases of semiconductors, the 2D electron systems…

Effects of pressure on the electronic structure, electron-phonon interaction, and superconductivity of the high entropy alloy (TaNb)$_{0.67}$(HfZrTi)$_{0.33}$ are studied in the pressure range 0 - 100 GPa. The electronic structure is…

Localized basis ab initio molecular dynamics simulation within the density functional framework has been used to generate realistic configurations of amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC). Our approach consists of constructing a set of smart…

Pure borocarbides suffer from limited superconducting potential due to intrinsic structural instability, requiring transition/alkali metals as dual-functional stabilizers and dopants. Here, by combining high-throughput screening with…

Collapse modes in compressed simple cubic (SC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) periodic arrangements of elastic frictionless beads were studied numerically using the discrete element method. Under pure hydrostatic compression, the SC…
