Gas sensing properties of Fe-decorated monolayer Antimonene

In the present era, the contamination of air due to the presence of substances in the atmosphere represents a global issue. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of people die every year because almost half...

Modeling Li-metal plating at the graphene surface

Graphitic electrode materials are central to Li-ion battery technology because of their high electron conductivity, high surface area for Li intercalation, and thermal and chemical stability. Li-intercalated graphite has large specific capacity that can be...

Work functions at interfaces with BAND (video tip of the week, new tutorial)

In this video tip of the week, Ole demonstrates how easily the work function can be calculated with our periodic DFT code BAND due to the support of true 2D-periodicity. A step-by-step version of the...

New tutorial: Chemical Vapor Deposition / Atomic Layer Deposition with ReaxFF

Gain inside into the modeling concepts behind a fully atomistic simulation of chemical vapor deposition. A new step-by-step ReaxFF tutorial shows how acceleration methods combine with the molecule gun/sink to simulate chemical vapor / atomic...

Thermal Management: Conductivity of 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks with Nanopores

Managing temperatures is essential for the lifetime and performance of many materials and their devices. Two main applications include electronic devices and spacecraft. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous polymers, with tunable properties such...
