Single-Layer Ferromagnetic and Piezoelectric CoAsS with Pentagonal Structure
Lei Liu, Houlong L. Zhuang
Single-layer pentagonal materials are an emerging family of two-dimensional (2D) materials that could exhibit novel properties due to the building blocks being pentagons instead of…
Single-layer antiferromagnetic semiconductor CoS2 with the pentagonal structure
Lei Liu, Immanuella Kankam, Houlong L. Zhuang
Structure-property relationships have always been guiding principles in discovering new materials. Here we explore the relationships to discover novel two-dimensional (2D) material…
PtP: An Example of Exploring the Hidden Cairo Tessellation in the Pyrite Structure for Discovering Novel Two-Dimensional Materials
Lei Liu, Houlong L. Zhuang
The Cairo tessellation refers to a pattern of type 2 pentagons that can pave an infinite plane without creating a gap or overlap. We reveal the hidden, layered Cairo tessellations…
Encoding Quantum Mechanics into Pentagonal Geometries for Discovering Novel Two-Dimensional Materials
Lei Liu, Immanuella Kankam, Houlong L. Zhuang
Imagine that there is a gapless plane tessellated by irregular, convex pentagons with their side lengths at the sub-nanoscale, and tiny balls are placed at the vertices of each pen…
