Ab initio calculation on B2-Magnesium rare earth (RE), MgRE (RE=Sc, Y and La) intermetallics have been performed at T=0K with respect to their structural, electronic and thermal properties. The structural and electronic properties are derived using self-consistent tight binding linear muffin tin orbital method at ambient and at high pressure. Other properties like density of states, bulk modulus, electronic and lattice heat capacities for MgRE are calculated and discussed.

Elastic constants and some thermodynamic properties of Cu and copper oxides were studied by first-principles total energy calculations. The elastic constants of Cu and copper oxides were calculated on pressure. It was shown that the calculated elastic constants of Cu, Cu2O and CuO at zero pressure were well consistent with previous experimental data. The specific heat capacities and thermal expansion coefficient of Cu and copper oxides were successfully obtained. The calculated specific heat capacities of Cu were well consistent with the previous experimental data.

The manuscript addresses the issue of the structural distortions occurring at multiple bonds between high main group elements, focusing on group 14. These distortions are known as trans-bending in silenes, disilenes and higher group analogues, and buckling in 2D materials likes silicene and germanene. A simple but correlated \sigma + \pi model is developed and validated with first-principles calculations, and used to explain the different behaviour of second- and higher- row elements.

Thin films of boron nitride (BN), particularly the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized polytypes hexagonal BN (h-BN) and rhombohedral BN (r-BN) are interesting for several electronic applications given band gaps in the UV. They are typically deposited close to thermal equilibrium by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at temperatures and pressures in the regions 1400-1800 K and 1000-10000 Pa, respectively. In this letter, we use van der Waals corrected density functional theory and thermodynamic stability calculations to determine the stability of r-BN and compare it to that of h-BN as well as to cubic BN and wurtzitic BN. We find that r-BN is the stable sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized phase at CVD conditions, while h-BN is metastable. Thus, our calculations suggest that thin films of h-BN must be deposited far from thermal equilibrium.
