Oxygen Atoms

The interaction between interstitial oxygen atoms and <a>-type screw dislocations was investigated via first-principles calculations to elucidate the effect of oxygen solutes on the deformation behaviors of Mg. The results show that repulsive interactions exist between basal screw dislocation cores and oxygen atoms, which would enable the full basal dislocation to bypass the oxygen atoms in the dislocation glide plane through the cross-slip process. This repulsion also increases the resistance to the motion of dissociated basal dislocations. Moreover, the energy of prismatic <a>-type screw dislocation cores is reduced by the presence of oxygen, which would stabilize the screw dislocation core on the prismatic plane, accordingly facilitating the prismatic slip. This information can complement the fundamental knowledge of alloying Mg using interstitial solutes.

Structural Distortions

The manuscript addresses the issue of the structural distortions occurring at multiple bonds between high main group elements, focusing on group 14. These distortions are known as trans-bending in silenes, disilenes and higher group analogues, and buckling in 2D materials likes silicene and germanene. A simple but correlated \sigma + \pi model is developed and validated with first-principles calculations, and used to explain the different behaviour of second- and higher- row elements.

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.
