Sulfur reduces the adhesion and shear strength of iron more effectively than phosphorus. The surface chemistry, well described by first principles calculations, impacts macroscale tribological properties.

The structural and electronic properties of BN(5, 5) and C(5, 5) nanotubes under pressure are studied by using first principles calculations. In our study range, BN(5, 5) undergoes obvious elliptical distortion, while for C(5, 5) the cross section first becomes an ellipse and then, under further pressure, is flattened. The band gap of BN(5, 5) decreases with increasing pressure, which is inverse to that of zinc blende BN, whereas for C(5, 5) the metallicity is always preserved under high pressure. The population of charge density indicates that intertube bonding is formed under pressure. We also find that BN(5, 5) may collapse, and a new polymer material based on C(5, 5) is formed by applying pressure.

The adsorption of methane (CH4) molecule on the pristine and Al-doped (4, 8) graphene was investigated via the first-principles calculations. The results demonstrated that, in comparison to the adsorption of a CH4molecule on the pristine graphene sheet, a relatively stronger adsorption was observed between the CH4molecule and Al-doped graphene with a shorter adsorption distance, larger binding energy and more charge-transfer from the graphene surface to the CH4molecule. Therefore, the Al-doped graphene can be expected to be a novel sensor for the detection of CH4molecules in future applications.

The grain boundary surface is the excess energy of the grain boundary as the lattice on one side of the grain is translated relative to the lattice on the other side of the grain. The maximum in the slope of the grain boundary surface determines the ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding. We presented the ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding in aluminum Σ3(11 2)[110] tilt grain boundary from the first-principles calculations. The ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding was much smaller than the ideal shear strength of a perfect single crystal.
