Graphyne nanotubes (GNTs) are nanostructures obtained from rolled up graphyne sheets, in the same way carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are obtained from graphene ones. Graphynes are 2D carbon-allotropes composed of atoms in sp and sp2 hybridized states. Similarly to conventional CNTs, GNTs can present different chiralities and electronic properties. Because of the acetylenic groups (triple bonds), GNTs exhibit large sidewall pores that influence their mechanical properties. In this work, we studied the mechanical response of GNTs under tensile stress using fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results show that GNTs mechanical failure (fracture) occurs at larger strain values in comparison to corresponding CNTs, but paradoxically with smaller ultimate strength and Youngs modulus values. This is a consequence of the combined effects of the existence of triple bonds and increased porosity/flexibility due to the presence of acetylenic groups.

In this work, we propose a new auxetic (negative Poissons ratio values) structure, based on a $gamma$-graphyne structure, here named $Agamma G$ $structure$. Graphynes are 2D carbon allotropes with phenylic rings connected by acetylenic groups. The A$gamma$G structural/mechanical and electronic properties, as well as its thermal stability, were investigated using classical reactive and quantum molecular dynamics simulations. We found that A$gamma$G has a large bandgap of 2.48 eV and is thermally stable at a large range of temperatures. It presents a Youngs modulus that is an order of magnitude smaller than that of graphene or $gamma$-graphyne. The classical and quantum results are consistent and validate that the A$gamma$G is auxetic, both when isolated (vacuum) and when deposited on a copper substrate. We believe that this is the densest auxetic structure belonging to the graphyne-like families.
The atomic models of nanotubes for layered FeSe, LiFeAs, SrFe2As2, and LnFeAsO - the parent phases of so-called 11, 111, 122, and 1111 groups of newly discovered family of iron-based high temperature superconductors are proposed. On example of SrFe2As2 the electronic properties of predicted nanotubes are examined and discussed in comparison with those for the corresponding single layer and the crystal.
We report the stability and electronic structures of the boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with diameters below 4 A by semi-empirical quantum mechanical molecular dynamics simulations and ab initio calculations. Among them (3,0), (3,1), (2,2), (4,0), (4,1) and (3,2) BNNTs can be stable well over room temperature. These small BNNTs become globally stable when encapsulated in a larger BNNT. It is found that the energy gaps and work functions of these small BNNTs are strongly dependent on their chirality and diameters. The small zigzag BNNTs become desirable semiconductors and have peculiar distribution of nearly free electron states due to strong hybridization effect. When such a small BNNT is inserted in a larger one, the energy gap of the formed double-walled BNNT can even be much reduced due to the coupled effect of wall buckling difference and NFE-pi hybridization.
The dynamical, dielectric and elastic properties of GeTe, a ferroelectric material in its low temperature rhombohedral phase, have been investigated using first-principles density functional theory. We report the electronic energy bands, phonon dispersion curves, electronic and low frequency dielectric tensors, infra-red reflectivity, Born effective charges, elastic and piezoelectric tensors and compare them with the existing theoretical and experimental results, as well as with similar quantities available for other ferroelectric materials, when appropriate.
Recently hybridized monolayers consisting of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) phases inside graphene layer have been synthesized and shown to be an effective way of opening band gap in graphene monolayers [1]. In this letter, we report an ab initio density functional theory (DFT)- based study of h-BN domain size effect on the elastic properties of graphene/boron nitride hybrid monolayers (h-BNC). We found both inplane stiffness and longitudinal sound velocity of h-BNC linearly decrease with h-BN concentration.
