Two-dimensional (2D) bismuth oxyselenide (Bi2O2Se) with high electron mobility is advantageous in future high-performance and flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, transfer of thin Bi2O2Se flakes is rather challenging, restricting measurements of its mechanical properties and application exploration in flexible devices. Here, we develop a reliable and effective polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-mediated method that allows transferring thin Bi2O2Se flakes from grown substrates onto target substrates like micro-electro-mechanical system substrates. The high fidelity of the transferred thin flakes stems from the high adhesive energy and flexibility of PDMS film. For the first time, the mechanical properties of 2D Bi2O2Se are experimentally acquired with nanoindentation method. We found that few-layer Bi2O2Se exhibits a large intrinsic stiffness of 18-23 GPa among 2D semiconductors, and a Young s modulus of 88.7 +- 14.4 GPa which is consistent with the theoretical values. Furthermore, few-layer Bi2O2Se can withstand a high radial strain of more than 3%, demonstrating excellent flexibility. The development of the reliable transfer method and documentation of mechanical properties of 2D Bi2O2Se jointly fill the gap between theoretical prediction and experimental verification of mechanical properties of this emerging material, and will promote flexible electronics and optoelectronics based on 2D Bi2O2Se.

The MechElastic Python package evaluates the mechanical and elastic properties of bulk and 2D materials using the elastic coefficient matrix ($C_{ij}$) obtained from any ab-initio density-functional theory (DFT) code. The current version of this pack age reads the output of VASP, ABINIT, and Quantum Espresso codes (but it can be easily generalized to any other DFT code) and performs the appropriate post-processing of elastic constants as per the requirement of the user. This program can also detect the input structures crystal symmetry and test the mechanical stability of all crystal classes using the Born-Huang criteria. Various useful material-specific properties such as elastic moduli, longitudinal and transverse elastic wave velocities, Debye temperature, elastic anisotropy, 2D layer modulus, hardness, Pughs ratio, Cauchys pressure, Kleinman parameter, and Lames coefficients, can be estimated using this program. Another existing feature of this program is to employ the ELATE package [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 28, 275201 (2016)] and plot the spatial variation of several elastic properties such as Poissons ratio, linear compressibility, shear modulus, and Youngs modulus in three dimensions. Further, the MechElastic package can plot the equation of state (EOS) curves for energy and pressure for a variety of EOS models such as Murnaghan, Birch, Birch-Murnaghan, and Vinet, by reading the inputted energy/pressure versus volume data obtained via numerical calculations or experiments. This package is particularly useful for the high-throughput analysis of elastic and mechanical properties of materials.
We investigated through fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the mechanical behavior (compressive and tensile) and energy absorption properties of two families (primitive (P688 and P8bal) and gyroid (G688 and G8bal)) of carbon-based schwar zites. Our results show that all schwarzites can be compressed (with almost total elastic recovery) without fracture to more than 50%, one of them can be even remarkably compressed up to 80%. One of the structures (G8bal) presents negative Poissons ratio value (auxetic behavior). The crush force efficiency, the stroke efficiency and the specific energy absorption (SEA) values show that schwarzites can be effective energy absorber materials. Although the same level of deformation without fracture observed in the compressive case is not observed for the tensile case, it is still very high (30-40%). The fracture dynamics show extensive structural reconstructions with the formation of linear atomic chains (LACs).
The high pressure structural properties of bismuth oxide Bi2SiO5 have been investigated up to 28 GPa using in situ powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction and up to 50 GPa with DFT calculations. The monoclinic structure is found to persist up to about 2 0 GPa, where a notable change in the compressibility occurs. The DFT data imply that this is due to a second-order phase transition from the ambient condition monoclinic structure with space group Cc to an orthorhombic polymorph with space group Cmcm. This transition involves the straightening of the chains formed by corner-connected SiO4 tetrahedra, that suppresses the ferroelectricity in the high pressure, centrosymmetric phase of Bi2SiO5. The stereo-chemical activity of the Bi3+ lone electron pair is found to decrease with increasing pressure, but it can still be identifed in the calculated electron density difference maps at 50 GPa.
Helical amorphous nanosprings have attracted particular interest due to their special mechanical properties. In this work we present a simple model, within the framework of the Kirchhoff rod model, for investigating the structural properties of nanos prings having asymmetric cross section. We have derived expressions that can be used to obtain the Youngs modulus and Poissons ratio of the nanospring material composite. We also address the importance of the presence of a catalyst in the growth process of amorphous nanosprings in terms of the stability of helical rods.
By means of the first-principle calculations, we have investigated electronic, magnetic properties and correlation effects for the newly discovered layered oxyselenide Na2Fe2Se2O. Our results reveal that the electron correlations in the Fe 3d bands p romote a transition of Na2Fe2Se2O from magnetic metallic or half-metallic states to the antiferromagnetic Mott-insulating state. In addition, the bonding picture in Na2Fe2Se2O is described as an anisotropic mixture of ionic and covalent contributions.
