First-principles calculations are performed to investigate the Young’s modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio of hexagonal phase ScAx(A=H, He), where x=0, 0.0313, 0.125 and 0.25, represent the ratio of interstitial atoms A (A=H, He) to Sc atoms. The influences of hydrogen concentrations and helium concentrations on elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of ScAx(A=H, He) have been studied. The results indicate that hydrogen and helium have different effects on the elastic modulus of hexagonal phase scandium. The change mechanism of the Poisson’s ratio with the variation of the x ranging from 0 to 0.25 has also been studied in hexagonal phase ScAx(A=H, He). In addition, the changes in the charge densities of ScAxdue to the presence of hydrogen and helium have been calculated.

Poisson’s ratios of two-dimensional (2D) all-inorganic perovskites Cs2PbX4 (X = Cl, Br, I) have been calculated by the first-principles calculations. The contribution of each geometric parameter (bond length [Formula: see text], bond angle [Formula: see text], rotation angle [Formula: see text], and tilt angle [Formula: see text]) to Poisson’s ratio is obtained analytically. Through a comprehensive analysis of the geometric deformations of the perovskite under the uniaxial strain, we find that Poisson’s ratios of the perovskites are sensitive to the change of the bond length [Formula: see text] and the bond angle [Formula: see text]. In addition, the value of the bond angle [Formula: see text] in the strain-free structure mainly determines the high in-plane anisotropy of Poisson’s ratios in Cs2PbX4.

AbstractThe mechanical and electronic properties of o-BC6N are studied by using first-principles calculations. The anisotropy studies of Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio show that o-BC6N exhibits a large anisotropy. Electronic structure study shows that o-BC6N presents metallicity under the conditions of zero and high pressure.

Abstract The structural, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of tungsten-based alloys, including W0.5Ti0.5,W0.67Zr0.33,W0.666Ti0.1667Zr0.1667,W0.67Hf0.33 and W0.666Ti0.1667Hf0.1667, have been investigated in this paper by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The calculated elastic constants and mechanical stability criteria of cubic crystals indicated that all of these cubic alloys are mechanical stable. The mechanical properties, including bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), Young’s modulus(E), ratio B/G, Poisson’s ratio, Cauchy pressure and Vickers hardness are derived from the elastic constants Cij. According to calculated elastic modulus and Vickers hardness, the W0.666Ti0.1667Hf0.1667 alloy has the greatest mechanical strength. The Vickers hardness of these cubic alloys rank as follows: W0.666Ti0.1667Hf0.1667 > W0.67Zr0.33 > W0.666Ti0.1667Zr0.1667 > W0.5Ti0.5 > W0.67Hf0.33. Moreover, calculated ratio B/G, Poisson’s ratio, Cauchy pressure indicated that the ductility of W0.666Ti0.1667Hf0.1667 alloy is the worst among these alloys. The ductility of these cubic alloys rank as follows: W0.67Hf0.33 > W0.5 Ti0.5 > W0.67Zr0.33 > W0.666Ti0.1667Zr0.1667 > W0.666Ti0.1667Hf0.1667. What is noteworthy is that both mechanical strength and ductility of W0.666Ti0.1667Hf0.1667 are greater than pure W. Finally, Debye temperature, melting point and thermal conductivity have been predicted through empirical formulas. All these results will provide scientific data for the study on new product development of electrode materials.

AbstractUtilizing a two-dimensional material in an electronic device as channel layer inevitably involves the formation of contacts with metallic electrodes. As these contacts can dramatically affect the behavior of the device, we study the electronic properties of monolayer Janus MoSSe in contact with different metallic electrodes by first-principles calculations, focusing on the differences in the characteristics of contacts with the two sides of MoSSe. In particular, we demonstrate that the Fermi level pinning is different for the two sides of MoSSe, with the magnitude resembling that of MoS2 or MoSe2, while both sides can form Ohmic contacts with common electrode materials without any further adaptation, which is an outstanding advantage over MoS2 and MoSe2.
