Borophene as a monolayer of boron atoms has been recently synthesized. Experimental reports show that the borophene can have different stable phases. In this paper, we study the effect of halogen atom adsorption on electrical and mechanical properties of [Formula: see text] borophene sheet using density functional theory. Adsorption of F, Cl, Br and I is considered and it is found that electronegativity and mass of halogen atom significantly affect the mechanical ability of the sheet. Young’s modulus of the sheet is decreased in the presence of halogen atoms. In addition, halogen atoms control electrical properties of the borophene sheet.

Orbital Hybridization

This paper studies the mechanical properties of polyethylene (PE)–Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) complexes by using density functional theory (DFT). At the PBE/SVP level, the Young’s modulus of the complexes is obtained as a function of PE content. It is established that, with increasing number of PE chains attached to the SWCNTs, the Young’s modulus monotonically decreases. The density of states (DOS) results show that no orbital hybridization exists between the PE chains and nanotubes. The results of this work are of importance for the design of composite materials employing SWCNTs.

Nitrogen Doped

This paper deals with the elastic properties of pure and nitrogen-doped silicene using density functional theory. During the compression (tension) from –2 to 2 GPa of pure and nitrogen-doped silicene, the corresponding values for the bulk modulus are obtained. It is found that the doping of the silicene structure with nitrogen has practically no effect on the value of its bulk modulus. However, the Young's modulus is increased of about 1.25 times.
