We study the mechanical properties of two-dimensional (2D) boron, borophenes, by first-principles calculations. The recently synthesized borophene with 1/6 concentration of hollow hexagons (HH) is shown to have in-plane modulus C up to 210 N/m and bending stiffness as low as D = 0.39 eV. Thus, its Foppl-von Karman number per unit area, defined as C/D, reaches 568 nm-2, over twofold higher than graphenes value, establishing the borophene as one of the most flexible materials. Yet, the borophene has a specific modulus of 346 m2/s2 and ideal strengths of 16 N/m, rivaling those (453 m2/s2 and 34 N/m) of graphene. In particular, its structural fluxionality enabled by delocalized multi-center chemical bonding favors structural phase transitions under tension, which result in exceptionally small breaking strains yet highly ductile breaking behavior. These mechanical properties can be further tailored by varying the HH concentration, and the boron sheet without HHs can even be stiffer than graphene against tension. The record high flexibility combined with excellent elasticity in boron sheets can be utilized for designing composites and flexible systems.

A computation methodology based on ab initio evolutionary algorithms and the spin-polarized density functional theory was developed to predict two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials. Its application to a model system borophene reveals an unexpected
rich magnetism and polymorphism. A stable borophene with nonzero thickness was an antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconductor from first-principles calculations, which can be further turned into a half metal by finite electron doping. In this borophene, the buckling and coupling among three atomic layers are not only responsible for the magnetism, but also result in an out-of-plane negative Poissons ratios under uniaxial tension, making it the first elemental material possessing auxetic and magnetic properties simultaneously.
Ever since its publication, the Griffith theory is the most widely used criterion for estimating the ideal strength and fracture strength of materials depending on whether the materials contain cracks or not. A Griffith strength limit of ~E/9 is the
upper bound for ideal strengths of materials. With the improved quality of fabricated samples and the power of computational modeling, people have recently reported the possibility of exceeding the ideal strength predicted by the Griffith theory. In this study, a new strength criterion was established based on the stable analysis of thermodynamical systems; then first-principles density functional theory (DFT) is used to study the ideal strength of four materials (diamond, c-BN, Cu, and CeO2) under uniaxial tensile loading along the [100], [110], and [111] low-index crystallographic directions. By comparing the ideal strengths between DFT results and the Griffith theory, it is found that the Griffith theory fails in all the four materials. Further analysis of the fracture mechanism demonstrates that the failure of the Griffith theory is because the ideal strength point does not correspond to creating of new surfaces, which is against the Griffith assumption that the crack intrinsically exists all the time; the failure point corresponds to the crack at the start of propagation.
The present work examines the effect of alloying elements (denoted X) on the ideal shear strength for 26 dilute Ni-based alloys, Ni$_{11}$X, as determined by first-principles calculations of pure alias shear deformations. The variations in ideal shea
r strength are quantitatively explored with correlational analysis techniques, showing the importance of atomic properties such as size and electronegativity. The shear moduli of the alloys are affirmed to show a strong linear relationship with their ideal shear strengths, while the shear moduli of the individual alloying elements were not indicative of alloy shear strength. Through combination with available ideal shear strength data on Mg alloys, a potential application of the Ni alloy data is demonstrated in the search for a set of atomic features suitable for machine learning applications to mechanical properties. As another illustration, the predicted Ni ideal shear strengths play a key role in a predictive multiscale framework for deformation behavior of single crystal alloys at large strains as shown by the simulated stress-strain curves.
Phosphorene has been rediscovered recently, establishing itself as one of the most promising two dimensional group-V elemental monolayers with direct band gap, high carrier mobility, and anisotropic electronic properties. In this letter, the buckling
and its effect on the electronic properties in phosphorene are investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations and complemented by density functional theory calculations. We find that phosphorene shows superior out-of-plane structural flexibility along the armchair direction, which allows the formation of buckling with large curvatures, while the buckling along the zigzag direction will break its structure integrity at large curvatures. The semiconducting and direct band gap nature are retained with buckling along the armchair direction; the band gap decreases and transforms to an indirect band gap with buckling along the zigzag direction. The structural flexibility and electronic robustness along the armchair direction facilitate the fabrication of devices with complex shapes, such as folded phosphorene and phosphorene nano-scrolls, thereby offering new possibilities for the application of phosphorene in flexible electronics and optoelectronics.
By treating idealized zeolite frameworks as periodic mechanical trusses, we show that the number of flexible folding mechanisms in zeolite frameworks is strongly peaked at the minimum density end of their flexibility window. 25 of the 197 known zeoli
te frameworks exhibit an extensive flexibility, where the number of unique mechanisms increases linearly with the volume when long wavelength mechanisms are included. Extensively flexible frameworks therefore have a maximum in configurational entropy, as large crystals, at their lowest density. Most real zeolites do not exhibit extensive flexibility, suggesting that surface and edge mechanisms are important, likely during the nucleation and growth stage. The prevalence of flexibility in real zeolites suggests that, in addition to low framework energy, it is an important criterion when searching large databases of hypothetical zeolites for potentially useful realizable structures.
