Motivated by the feasibility of hybridizing C- and BN-units as well as the recent synthesis of a triphenylene-graphdiyne (TpG) monolayer, for the first time we explore the stability and electronic band structure of a Tp-BNyne monolayer composed of C-chains and the BN analog of triphenylene (Tp-BNyne) by using density functional theory.

Using density functional theory calculations, we have investigated the electronic band structure, optical and photocatalytic response of BSe, M2CO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) monolayers and their corresponding BSe–M2CO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) van der Waals heterostructures.

Using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we find that group-III chalcogenide monolayers can serve as a suitable substrate for silicene, and the Dirac electron band properties of silicene are also fully preserved.

AbstractAb initio calculations of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of the CdB_4O_7 and HgB_4O_7 tetraborate compounds in three structural modifications with the Pbca , Cmcm , and Pmn 2_1 symmetry have been performed in the framework of the density functional theory using the VASP package. The calculations of the electronic band structure showed that these compounds in all the investigated modifications are dielectrics with a band gap of 2–4 eV. The calculation of the structural properties of the tetraborates under pressure showed that the phase transition between the Pbca and Pmn 2_1 structures in cadmium and mercury tetraborates occurs under pressures of 4.8 and 4.7 GPa, respectively.
