Graphene has been reported with record-breaking properties which have opened up huge potential applications. Considerable amount of researches have been devoted to manipulating or…
A novel superhard tungsten nitride predicted by machine-learning accelerated crystal structure searching
Kang Xia, Hao Gao, Cong Liu +3
Transition metal nitrides have been suggested to have both high hardness and good thermal stability with large potential application value, but so far stable superhard transition m…
Superhard and Superconducting B6C
Kang Xia, Mengdong Ma, Cong Liu +7
Crystal structure searching and ab initio calculations have been used here to explore low-energy structures of boron carbides under high pressure. Under pressures of 85-110 GPa, a…
High temperature superconducting phase of HBr under pressure predicted by first-principles calculations
Qinyan Gu, Pengchao Lu, Kang Xia +2
The high pressure phases of HBr are explored with an ab initio crystal structure search. By taking into account the contribution of zero-point energy (ZPE), we find that the P4/nmm…
Silicon clathrates for photovoltaics predicted by a two-step crystal structure search
Juefei Wu, Hao Gao, Kang Xia +2
Silicon in a cubic diamond structure currently plays a significant role in the photovoltaic industry. However, the intrinsic band structures of crystalline silicon restrict its sun…
