Ab-initio study of ReCN in the bulk and as a new two dimensional material

Abstract First principles total energy calculations have been applied to describe the ReCN bulk structure and the formation of ReCN monolayers and bilayers. Results demonstrate a strong structural rearrangement in the monolayer due to a reduced dimension effect: an increase in the lattice parameter,...
