Epitaxial growth of a two-dimensional topological insulator candidate: monolayer Si2Te2
Xiaochun Huang, Rui Xiong, Klara Volckaert +9
Hexagonal Si2Te2 monolayers (ML-Si2Te2) were predicted to show strain-dependent band-crossover between semiconducting and room-temperature quantum spin Hall phases. However, invest…
Switchable Atomically Thin 2D Electrides from First-principles Prediction
Xuhui Yang, Kevin Parrish, Yan-Ling Li +3
Electrides, with excess anionic electrons confined in their empty space, are promising for uses in catalysis, nonlinear optics and spin-electronics. However, the application of ele…
Prediction of superconductivity and topological aspects in single-layer -BiPd
Peng-Fei Liu, Jingyu Li, Xin-Hai Tu +5
Topological superconductors, characterized by topologically nontrivial states residing in a superconducting gap, are a recently discovered class of materials having Majorana Fermio…
The electronic origin of shear-induced direct to indirect gap transition and anisotropy diminution in phosphorene
Baisheng Sa, Yan-Ling Li, Zhimei Sun +3
Artificial monolayer black phosphorus, the so-called phosphorene has attracted global interest with its distinguished anisotropic optoelectronic and electronic properties. Here, we…
Mechanical properties and electronic structure of the incompressible rhenium carbides and nitrides: A first-principles study
Naihua Miao, Baisheng Sa, Jian Zhou +2
By means of first-principles calculations, the structural stability, mechanical properties and electronic structure of the newly synthesized incompressible Re2C, Re2N, Re3N and an…
Theoretical investigation on the transition metal borides with Ta3B4-type structure: a class of hard and refractory materials
Naihua Miao, Baisheng Sa, Jian Zhou +1
Based on density functional theory, we have systematically studied the structural stability, mechanical properties and chemical bonding of the transition metal borides M3B4 (M=Ti,…
