We present a compositional and structural investigation of silicene, germanene, and stanene bilayers from first-principles. Due to the staggering of the individual layers, several stacking patterns are possible, most of which are not…
The link between crystal and electronic structure is crucial for understanding structure-property relations in solid-state chemistry. In particular, it has been instrumental in understanding topological materials, where electrons behave…
It is shown that the superconducting intermetallic compound MgB2 possesses a narrow, partly filled "superconducting band" with Wannier functions of special symmetry in its band structure. This result corroborates previous observations about…
A systematic study of the electronic properties of single layer Sb (antimonene) nanoribbons is presented. By using a 6-orbital tight-binding Hamiltonian, we study the electronic band structure of finite ribbons with zigzag or armchair…
Explorative chemistry in a reaction system composed of NbI4, Li2(CN2), and Li2O has led to the discovery of a number of niobium oxyiodide cluster compounds. During this reaction, the formation of solid phases was detected alongside with…
In this paper we investigate the electronic and superconducting properties in nickelate compounds of NiO2 through Perturbative Density Functional Theory (P-DFT) and multi-band BCS theory. We consider three different cases of study (i) the…
In this paper we study the supercluster - cluster morphological properties using one of the largest ($2\times 512^{3}$ SPH+N-body simulations of large scale structure formation in a $\Lambda$CDM model, based on the publicly available code…
Using density functional theory based methods we report the structural, electronic and topological properties of the FCC crystal compound TmBi. This material is found to be dynamically stable and shows a non magnetic semimetalic character.…
Electronic structures of three superconducting rare-earth iron silicides (Lu;Y;Sc)2Fe3Si5 and non-superconducting Lu2Ru3Si5, adopting a tetragonal crystal structure (P4/mnc), have been calculated employing the full-potential local-orbital…
The band structure and the Fermi surface of hexagonal diborides ZrB2, VB2, NbB2, TaB2 have been studied by the self-consistent full-potential LMTO method and compared with those for the isostructural superconductor MgB2. Factors responsible…
Nucleonic matter displays a quantum liquid structure, but in some cases finite nuclei behave like molecules composed of clusters of protons and neutrons. Clustering is a recurrent feature in light nuclei, from beryllium to nickel. For…
The LnSbTe (Ln = Lanthanides) family, like isostructural ZrSiS type compounds, has emerged as a fertile playground for exploring the interaction of electronic correlations and magnetic ordering with the nodal line band topology. Here, we…
We study the electronic structure of small lithium clusters Li_n (n=2-8) using the electronic stress tensor. We find that the three eigenvalues of the electronic stress tensor of the Li clusters are negative and degenerate, just like the…
Zinc and cadmium clusters interacting with a Gupta potential have previously been identified as prototypical metallic systems that exhibiting disordered cluster structures. Here, putative global minima of the potential energy have been…
The electronic structure of materials is fundamentally governed by their crystal symmetry. While most research on two-dimensional materials has focused on hexagonal lattices, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal…
Spin-polarized DFT has been used to perform a comprehensive study of the geometric structures and electronic properties for isolated M4X4 nano-clusters between their two stable isomers - a planar rhombus-like 2D structure and a cubane-like…
We study size- and charge-asymmetric oppositely charged colloids driven by an external electric field. The large particles are connected by harmonic springs, forming a hexagonal-lattice network while the small particles are free of bonds…
Stripe-like and bubble-like patterns spontaneously form in numerous physical, chemical, and biological systems when competing long-range and short-range interactions banish uniformity. Stripe-like and the related nematic morphology are also…
The electronic structure of a single monatomic gold wire is presented for the first time. It has been obtained with state-of-the-art ab-initio full-potential density-functional (DFT) LMTO (linearized muffin-tin orbital) calculations taking…
We report an unusual evolution of structure and magnetism in stoichiometric MnO clusters based on an extensive and unbiased search through the potential energy surface within density functional theory. The smaller clusters, containing up to…
