The Stability

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.

The Stability

The XTiO3 (X = Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) materials with R3c structure could be grown under critical conditions based on first-principles calculations and thermodynamic stability analysis. FeTiO3 and MnTiO3 could be synthesized relatively easily under metal-rich and O-poor conditions, while NiTiO3 could be stable under Ni-rich, O-rich and Ti-poor conditions. The predicted R3c CoTiO3 under thermodynamic equilibrium conditions is suggested to be synthesized under Co-rich, O-rich and Ti-poor conditions, but the calculated phonon dispersion indicates R3c CoTiO3 becomes unstable under the dynamical conditions. The ferroelectric behavior in the XTiO3 (X = Mn, Fe, Co and Ni) system could be dominated by the Ti ion with d0 state and the strong hybridization between Ti and O, while the magnetic property is mainly caused by the contribution of 3d transition metal.
