Pressure-Induced Mechanical Instabilities in Cubic SiC: Structural and Electronic Properties
Carlos P. Herrero, Eduardo R. Hernandez, Gabriela Herrero-Saboya +1
Silicon carbide is widely used in electronics, ceramics, and renewable energy due to its exceptional hardness and resistance. In this study, we investigate the effects of hydrostat…
Elastic properties of silicene: Spinodal instabilities
Carlos P. Herrero, Rafael Ramirez
Silicene, a two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of silicon, has attracted significant interest for its electronic and mechanical properties, alongside its compatibility with various sub…
Quantum nuclear motion in silicene: Assessing structural and vibrational properties through path-integral simulations
Carlos P. Herrero, Miguel del Canizo
This paper explores the interplay between quantum nuclear motion and anharmonicity, which causes nontrivial effects on the structural and dynamical characteristics of silicene, a t…
Nuclear quantum effects in structural and elastic properties of cubic silicon carbide
Carlos P. Herrero, Rafael Ramirez, Gabriela Herrero-Saboya
Silicon carbide, a semiconducting material, has gained importance in the fields of ceramics, electronics, and renewable energy due to its remarkable hardness and resistance. In thi…
