The new compound WTe2I was prepared by a reaction of WTe2 with iodine in a fused silica vessel at temperatures between 40 and 200 °C. Iodine atoms are intercalated into the van der Waals gap between tungsten ditelluride layers. As a result, the WTe2 layer separation and therefore the c-axis length is significantly increased, and the orthorhombic space group is preserved. Iodine atoms form planar layers between each tungsten ditelluride layer. Due to oxidation by iodine the semi-metallic nature of WTe2 is changed, as shown by comparative band structure calculations for WTe2 and WTe2I based on density functional theory. The calculated phonon band structure of WTe2I suggests a charge density wave instability at low temperature.<br>

In this work, [Formula: see text]-phosphorus carbide 1D nanowires (PCNWs) are investigated in the framework of density functional theory. The dynamical stability of the considered [Formula: see text]-PCNWs at 300[Formula: see text]K is verified using ab initio molecular dynamics calculations. According to the results on the band structure calculations, [Formula: see text]-PCNWs can be semiconductors, semimetals or metals depending on their size and form. Thus, owning to their unique shape and high tunability of electronic properties, [Formula: see text]-PCNWs may be used in optical and photovoltaic nanodevices.

AbstractPnictogen-based Zintl compounds have fascinating properties. Nowadays these compounds have gained exceptional interest in thermoelectric and optoelectronic fields. Therefore, in this work the structural, electronic and optical properties of SrZn2Pn2 (Pn=N, P, As, Sb, Bi) compounds were studied using state-of-the-art density functional theory. The optimised lattice parameters (ɑ, c, c/ɑ and bond lengths) are consistent with the experimental results. The bulk moduli and c/a showed a decrease when changing the Pnictogen (Pn) anion from N to Bi in SrZn2Pn2 (Pn=N, P, As, Sb, Bi). The modified Becke-Johnson potential is used for band structure calculations. All compounds show semiconducting behaviour except SrZn2Bi2, which is metallic. Pn-p, Zn-d and Sr-d play an important role in defining the electronic structure of the compounds. The optical conductivity and absorption coefficient strength are high in visible and ultraviolet regions. These band structures and optical properties clearly show that SrZn2Pn2 compounds are potential candidates in the fields of optoelectronic and photonic devices.

The stability of the novel Pu(iv) silicate, Cs2PuSi6O15, was predicted from a combination of crystal chemical reasoning and DFT calculations and confirmed by its synthesis via flux crystal growth.
