\textit{Ab initio} study of interacting lattice vibrations and stabilization of the -phase in Ni-Ti shape-memory alloy

Petros Souvatzis, Dominik Legut, Olle Eriksson +1

Lattice dynamical methods used to predict phase-transformations in crystals typically evaluate the harmonic phonon spectra and therefore do not work in frequent and important situa…

A theoretical analysis of the chemical bonding and electronic structure of graphene interacting with Group IA and Group VIIA elements

M. Klintenberg, S. Lebegue, M. I. Katsnelson +1

We propose a new class of materials, which can be viewed as graphene derivatives involving Group IA or Group VIIA elements, forming what we refer to as graphXene. We show that in s…
