Necessary and sufficient elastic stability conditions in 21 quasicrystal Laue classes
Abstract Mechanical stability is essential for solids and its stability criterion may date back to 75 years ago. Recently, the closed form necessary and sufficient conditions for elastic stability in… Expand
Structural configuration and tetragonal phase stability in the equiatomic quaternary Heusler compound TiZnMnSi
The equiatomic quaternary Heusler compound TiZnMnSi exhibits strong tendency to tetragonal phase transformation.
Stability and elasticity of metastable solid solutions and superlattices in the MoN–TaN system: First-principles calculations
Abstract In order to develop design rules for novel nitride-based coatings, we investigate trends in thermodynamic, structural, elastic, and electronic properties of Mo1−xTaxN single-phase alloys… Expand
Novel structural phases and the properties of LaX (X = P, As) under high pressure: first-principles study
The structures, phase transition, mechanical stability, electronic structures, and thermodynamic properties of lanthanide phosphates (LaP and LaAs) are studied in the pressure range of 0 to 100 GPa… Expand
Electronic properties and high-pressure behavior of wolframite-type CoWO4
In this work we characterize wolframite-type CoWO4 under ambient conditions and under compression up to 10 GPa, with emphasis on its electronic structure.
Energetic Validation of Various Crystal Structures in Zr2CoZ (Z = Al, Ga, In) Heusler Alloys
We energetically validate new Zr2CoZ (Z = Al, Ga, In) systems in the most common cubic crystal structures of Heusler alloys, that is, regular and inverse full-Heusler structures. The regular Heusle...
Structural, mechanical, spectroscopic and thermodynamic characterization of the copper-uranyl tetrahydroxide mineral vandenbrandeite

Structural, Mechanical and Electronic Properties of o-BC6N
Abstract The mechanical and electronic properties of o-BC6N are studied by using first-principles calculations. The anisotropy studies of Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio show that… Expand
Unique Schrödinger semimetal state in ternary Be2P3N honeycomb lattice
Ternary Be2P3N honeycomb lattice exhibits a novel semimetal state with parabolic band dispersion touching at the Fermi level.
A predicted non-layered phase of In2Se3 by first principles
Abstract In2Se3 is an important compound having a complex phase diagram. In this work, we found a non-layered phase of In2Se3 with the help of the particle swarm optimization method. Studies indicate… Expand
