Fermi-level mediated acceleration of flash sintering of oxide ceramics
Qin-Kun Li, Evgeni S. Penev, Boris I. Yakobson
The atomistic understanding of flash sintering (FS) remains speculative, despite its efficiency and versatility in materials processing. Employing first-principles calculations we…
Stability and electronic properties of two-dimensional gallium
Alex Kutana, Qiyuan Ruan, Jun-Jie Zhang +2
Two-dimensional metals offer intriguing possibilities to explore metallicity and other related properties in systems with reduced dimensionality. Here, following recent experimenta…
Elasticity, Flexibility and Ideal Strength of Borophenes
Zhuhua Zhang, Yang Yang, Evgeni S. Penev +1
We study the mechanical properties of two-dimensional (2D) boron, borophenes, by first-principles calculations. The recently synthesized borophene with 1/6 concentration of hollow…
Why do nanotubes grow chiral?
Vasilii I. Artyukhov, Evgeni S. Penev, Boris I. Yakobson
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) hold enormous technological promise. It can only be harnessed if one controls in a practical way the CNT chirality, the feature of the tubular carbon topolog…
Probing the Synthesis of Two-Dimensional Boron by First-Principles Computations
Yuanyue Liu, Evgeni S. Penev, Boris I. Yakobson
Boron synthesis, in theory: Although two-dimensional boron sheets have attracted considerable interest because of their theoretically predicted properties, synthesis of such sheets…
Correlation between T_c and the Cu 4s level reveals the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity
Z. D. Dimitrov, S. K. Varbev, K. J. Omar +3
Band structure trends in hole-doped cuprates and correlations with T_c are interpreted within the s--d exchange mechanism of high-T_c superconductivity. The dependence of T_c on th…
