Abstract The past decades have witnessed an exponential growth in the discovery of functional materials, benefited from our unprecedented capabilities in characterizing their structure, chemistry, and morphology with the aid of advanced imaging, spectroscopic and computational techniques. Among these materials, atomic-scale low-dimensional compounds, as represented by the two-dimensional (2D) atomic layers, one-dimensional (1D) atomic chains and zero-dimensional (0D) atomic clusters, have long captivated scientific interest due to their unique topological motifs and exceptional properties. Their tremendous potentials in various applications make it a pressing urgency to establish a complete database of their structural information, especially for the underexplored 1D species. Here we apply graph theory in combination with first-principles high-throughput calculations to identify atomic-scale 1D materials that can be conceptually isolated from their parent bulk crystals. In total, two hundred and fifty 1D atomic chains are shown to be potentially exfoliable. We demonstrate how the lone electron pairs on cations interact with the p-orbitals of anions and hence stabilize their edge sites. Data analysis of the 2D and 1D materials also reveals the dependence of electronic band gap on the cationic percolation network determined by graph theory. The library of 1D compounds systematically identified in this work will pave the way for the predictive discovery of material systems for quantum engineering, and can serve as a source of stimuli for future data-driven design and understanding of functional materials with reduced dimensionality.

Abstract Including the second sound effect, a transfer matrix formulation based on the generalized dynamical theory of thermoelasticity is developed for longitudinal wave component propagation in a thermoelastic layer. The attenuation and propagation properties of one-dimensional thermoelastic wave in both continuum and layered structures are studied using this formulation and the periodic systems framework. Localization of thermal waves is demonstrated in the time-spacial domain by an FFT-based transient analysis. A perturbation analysis tor identifying leading terms in thermal attenuation is performed, and the role of the thermal elastic coupling term in attenuation is determined. The reflection and transmission coefficients between half-spaces are calculated to evaluate the potential practical use of the approach in laser-based nondestructive testing.

In this work, we studied a few surfaces, of which the structures have not yet been revealed, using reflection high-energy positron diffraction (RHEPD). We studied the Ge(111)/Pb and Ge(111)/Sn surfaces that exhibit the phase transition from 3×3 to √3×√3 periodicities at around 200K. We found that in both phases the equilibrium positions of Pb and Sn adatoms are conserved. That is, in the unit-cell, one of three adatoms is located upper position and two of them are located lower positions (one-up-two-down). The phase transition is interpreted in terms of an order-disorder type. We furthermore studied the quasi-one dimensional Si(111)/In surface which exhibits the metal-insulator transition at around 120K. The high temperature phase is well explained as the zigzag chain structure. We found that a dynamic atomic displacement which leads to the formation of hexagon structure occur below 120 K. We confirmed the appearance of the band gap using the surface structure determined from the RHEPD rocking curves.
