Using ab initio evolutionary simulations, we predict the existence of five novel stable Li-N compounds at pressures from 0 to 100 GPa (Li13N, Li5N, Li3N2, LiN2, and LiN5). Structures of these compounds contain isolated N atoms, N2 dimers, polyacetylene-like...

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2016 Apr 28;18(17):12299-306. doi: 10.1039/c5cp07724a.

Interstitial carbides are able to maintain structural stability even with a high concentration of carbon vacancies. This feature provides them with tunable properties through the design of carbon vacancies, and thus making it important to reveal how carbon vacancies...

Diborane (B(2)H(6)), a high energy density material, was believed to be stable in a wide P, T interval. A systematic investigation of the B-H system using the ab initio variable-composition evolutionary simulations shows that boron monohydride (BH) is thermodynamically...

NaFe2As2 is investigated experimentally using powder x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy at pressures up to 23 GPa at room temperature and using ab-initio calculations. The results reveal a pressure-induced structural modification at 4 GPa from the starting tetragonal to...

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2016 Jan 21;18(3):1859-63. doi: 10.1039/c5cp05367f. Epub 2015 Dec 21.

We explored the B-C-O system at pressures in the range 0-50 GPa by ab initio variable-composition evolutionary simulations in the hope of discovering new stable superhard materials. A new tetragonal thermodynamically stable phase B4CO4, space group I4[combining macron], and...

Novel superhard materials, especially those with superior thermal and chemical stability, are needed to replace diamond. Carbon nitrides (C-N), which are likely to possess these characteristics and have even been expected to be harder than diamond, are excellent candidates....

After the first introduction of π aromaticity in chemistry to explain the bonding, structure, and reactivity of benzene and its derivatives, this concept was further applied to many other compounds featuring other types of aromaticity (i.e., σ, δ). Thus...

Phase stability, chemical bonding and mechanical properties of titanium nitrides: a first-principles study.

We have performed first-principles evolutionary searches for stable Ti-N compounds and have found, in addition to the well-known rock-salt TiN, new ground states Ti3N2, Ti4N3, Ti6N5 at atmospheric pressure, and Ti2N and TiN2 at higher pressures. The latter nitrogen-rich...
