Strain manipulates the electric, elastic, thermal, and optical properties of MXene Lu2CT2 (T = F, OH)
In this paper, based on the density functional theory, the influence of the strain on the electric, elastic, thermal, and optical properties of Lu2CT2 (T = F, OH) is systematically studied. Because of hybridizati...

Piezoelectric properties of Ga2O3: a first-principle study
The compounds exhibit piezoelectricity, which demands to break inversion symmetry, and then to be a semiconductor. For Ga2O3, the orthorhombic case (ϵ-Ga2O3) of common five phases breaks inversion symmetry. Here,...
