An ability of different molecular potentials to reproduce the properties of 2D molybdenum disulphide polymorphs is examined. Structural and mechanical properties, as well as phonon dispersion of the 2H, 1T and 1T’ single-layer MoS2 (SL MoS2) phases, were obtained using density functional theory (DFT) and molecular statics calculations (MS) with Stillinger-Weber, REBO, SNAP, and ReaxFF interatomic potentials. Quantitative systematic comparison and discussion of the results obtained are reported.

We carry out ab initio density functional theory calculations to investigate the fundamental mechanical properties of stacking faults in 3C-SiC, including the effect of stress and doping atoms (substitution of C by N or Si). Stress induced by stacking fault (SF) formation is quantitatively evaluated. Extrinsic SFs containing double and triple SiC layers are found to be slightly more stable than the single-layer extrinsic SF, supporting experimental observation. Effect of tensile or compressive stress on SF energies is found to be marginal. Neglecting the effect of local strain induced by doping, N doping around an SF obviously increase the SF formation energy, while SFs seem to be easily formed in Si-rich SiC.

Abstract The dynamic and thermodynamic properties of wurtzite (wz) and zinc-blend (zb) CdS are investigated within the density functional theory using different approximation methods such as LDA, PBE, and DFT+U. Hellmann–Feynman approach is implemented for the relaxation of atomic position for both phases. To guarantee the accuracy of calculation, the convergence test of total energy with respect to energy cutoff and k-point sampling is performed. The dynamic properties such as phonon dispersion, phonon density of state, frequency along with high symmetry points, static and dynamic polarizability, and dielectric constants are calculated. The obtained values are compared with previous theoretical results. DFT + U approximation gives a good result that is consistent with the available theory. Moreover, the vibrational energy, vibrational free energy, entropy, electron chemical potential, and constant-volume specific heat are obtained within LDA, PBE, and DFT + U approximations.

Critical Temperature Tc

Internal energies, enthalpies, phonon dispersion curves, and superconductivity of atomic metallic hydrogen are calculated. The standard use of pseudopotentials in density-functional theory are compared with full Coulomb-potential, all-electron linear muffin-tin orbital calculations. Quantitatively similar results are found as far as internal energies are concerned. Larger differences are found for phase-transition pressures; significant enough to affect the phase diagram. Electron–phonon spectral functions α2F(ω) also show significant differences. Against expectation, the estimated superconducting critical-temperature Tc of the first atomic metallic phase I41/amd (Cs-IV) at 500 GPa is actually higher.
