基于从头计算法的三维碳同素异形体结构设计

由于独特的成键特性,在不同温度和压强下,碳具有丰富的结构特性。除了实验上已发现各种同素异形体,理论计算也预言了丰富的新结构。在本文中,我们对第一性原理计算预言的三维碳同素异形体做了综述,特别地,我们着重关注了泡沫状的碳结构。碳泡沫主要由石墨片断以各种碳键连接而成,具体多孔结构及较大的表面积。另外,针对由低维碳结构,如碳富勒烯、纳米芽、纳米管及石墨烯等组成的三维碳超结构以及其他三维碳晶体我们也做了概述。这些新型碳结构有的由混杂的sp-sp²碳或者纯sp²碳组成(H-6, bct-4, C-20, K₄等),有的质量密度比金刚石还大(C₈, hP3, tl12, tp12等),有的可以由石墨在室温高压下转化而成(M碳, bct-4碳, W碳, Z碳等)。在这些预言的碳同素异形体中,有些在将来可能在实验室合成。     

Thermal transport in phosphorene and phosphorene-based materials: A review on numerical studies

The recently discovered two-dimensional(2D) layered material phosphorene has attracted considerable interest as a promising p-type semiconducting material. In this article, we review the recent advances in numerical studies of the thermal properties of monolayer phosphorene and phosphorene-based heterostructures. We first briefly review the commonly used first-principles and molecular dynamics(MD) approaches to evaluate the thermal conductivity and interfacial thermal resistance of 2D phosphorene. Principles of different steady-state and transient MD techniques have been elaborated on in detail. Next, we discuss the anisotropic thermal transport of phosphorene in zigzag and armchair chiral directions. Subsequently, the in-plane and cross-plane thermal transport in phosphorene-based heterostructures such as phosphorene/silicon and phosphorene/graphene is summarized. Finally, the numerical research in the field of thermal transport in 2D phosphorene is highlighted along with our perspective of potentials and opportunities of 2D phosphorenes in electronic applications such as photodetectors, field-effect transistors, lithium ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, and thermoelectric devices.
