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,...

Abstract First principles total energy calculations have been applied to describe the ReCN bulk structure and the formation of ReCN monolayers and bilayers.

On the other hand, a ReCN bilayer has structural parameters similar to those of the bulk. Surface formation energies show that the monolayer is more stable than bilayer geometries. Although bulk ReCN shows a semiconductor behavior, the monolayer ReCN presents a metallic behavior. This metallic character of the ReCN monolayer is mainly due to the d-orbitals of Re atoms. |
