First-principles calculations show that coating a graphene sheet on the MASnI3 surface has no obvious influence on the electronic structure of the surface, but it is an effective strategy of enhancing the stability of the perovskite materials.

First-principles calculations were used to investigate the stability, electronic structure, elastic and lattice thermal conductivity of FeS and FeS2 polymorphs ([Formula: see text]-FeS, [Formula: see text]-FeS, [Formula: see text]-FeS, [Formula: see text]-FeS2, [Formula: see text]-FeS2). The calculated lattice parameters were in agreement with experimental results. The results showed that these Fe-S binary compounds are thermodynamically and mechanically stable. The elastic anisotropies of Fe-S binary compounds were exhibited by 3D modulus ball and 2D projections. Among all the five compounds, [Formula: see text]-FeS2 compound has the largest bulk modulus and [Formula: see text]-FeS2 has the largest Young’s modulus and hardness. Furthermore, [Formula: see text]-FeS, [Formula: see text]-FeS and [Formula: see text]-FeS compounds can be regarded as ductile material according to [Formula: see text] and Poisson’s ratio. The FeS compounds show metallic character and FeS2 compounds show semiconductor character through analyzing their bandgap and density of states (DOS). The [Formula: see text]-FeS2 has the largest thermal conductivity according to the Clarke model, and the [Formula: see text]-FeS shows the strongest thermal conductivity anisotropy among the five compounds.

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.
