AbstractUsing density functional theory in combination with the Green’s functional formalism, we study the effect of surface functionalization on the electronic transport properties of 1D carbon allotrope—carbyne. We found that both hydrogenation and fluorination result in structural changes and semiconducting to metallic transition. Consequently, the current in the functionalization systems increases significantly due to strong delocalization of electronic states along the carbon chain. We also study the electronic transport in partially hydrogenated carbyne and interface structures consisting of pristine and functionalized carbyne. In the latter case, current rectification is obtained in the system with rectification ratio up to 50%. These findings can be useful for developing carbyne-based structures with tunable electronic transport properties.

In this work, the first-principles density functional calculations of the structural, elastic, electronic, magnetic, thermal and thermoelectric properties of NiVSn half-Heusler compound are carried out. The exchange and correlation potential are treated by using Generalized Gradient approximation of Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE), GGA plus Tran–Blaha-modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ-GGA) approach and mBJ-GGA+U where U is the Hubbard on-site Coulomb interaction correction (mBJ-GGA+U). Structural calculations revealed that NiVSn is stable in type 1 structure ferromagnetic state. Elastic properties show that our compound is mechanically stable, ductile and anisotropic. The results of the band structures and density of states display a half metallic behavior of NiVSn with an indirect bandgap of 0.476, 0.508 and 0.845 eV by using GGA-PBE, mBJ-GGA, and mBJ-GGA+U, respectively. The total magnetic moment calculated is integer of 1 [Formula: see text]B confirming a half metallic behavior of NiVSn and follows the well-known Slater–Pauling rule ([Formula: see text]); therefore, the studied compound is suitable for application in spintronic fields. The thermodynamic properties such as bulk modulus, the heat capacity, the Debye temperature, and the thermal expansion coefficient are investigated using quasi-harmonic Debye model (QHDM). The thermal results show that NiVSn can be applied in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. The thermoelectric properties are studied employing the BoltzTrap code. The calculated transport properties are very interesting for the spin-down channel with high electrical conductivity, high Seebeck coefficient, and figure of merit value approaching unity. As a result, the half-Heusler alloy NiVSn is a promoter for conventional thermoelectric materials.

The quest for planar sp2-hybridized carbon allotropes other than graphene, such as graphenylene and biphenylene networks, has stimulated substantial research efforts because of the materials’ predicted mechanical, electronic, and transport properties. However, their syntheses remain challenging given the lack of reliable protocols for generating nonhexagonal rings during the in-plane tiling of carbon atoms. We report the bottom-up growth of an ultraflat biphenylene network with periodically arranged four-, six-, and eight-membered rings of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms through an on-surface interpolymer dehydrofluorination (HF-zipping) reaction. The characterization of this biphenylene network by scanning probe methods reveals that it is metallic rather than a dielectric. We expect the interpolymer HF-zipping method to complement the toolbox for the synthesis of other nonbenzenoid carbon allotropes.
