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.

In this paper, an in-depth theoretical study on some physical properties of Ti0.5Ta0.5 alloy with systematic symmetry under high pressure is conducted via first-principles calculations, and relevant physical parameters are calculated. The results demonstrate that the calculated parameters, including lattice parameter, elastic constants, and elastic moduli, fit well with available theoretical and experimental data when the Ti0.5Ta0.5 alloy is under T = 0 and P = 0 , indicating that the theoretical analysis method can effectively predict the physical properties of the Ti0.5Ta0.5 alloy. The microstructure and macroscopic physical properties of the alloy cannot be destroyed as the applied pressure ranges from 0 to 50GPa, but the phase transition of crystal structure may occur in the Ti0.5Ta0.5 alloy if the applied pressure continues to increase according to the TDOS curves and charge density diagram. The value of Young’s and shear modulus is maximized at P = 25   GPa . The anisotropy factors A ( 100 ) [ 001 ] and A ( 110 ) [ 001 ] are equal to 1, suggesting the Ti0.5Ta0.5 alloy is an isotropic material at 28 GPa, and the metallic bond is strengthened under high pressure. The present results provide helpful insights into the physical properties of Ti0.5Ta0.5 alloy.
