From hexagonal to rocksalt structure: A computational study of gallium selenide under hydrostatic pressure

Rich essential properties of silicon-substituted graphene nanoribbons: a comprehensive computational study

“…The first successful isolation of a high-quality single-layer graphene using the mechanical exfoliation method from bulk graphite by Geim and Novoselov in 2004 opened a new era for low-dimensional materials science, 1–6 in which the successful fabrication of monolayer graphene was realized after a very long process since the first theory of graphene was proposed by P. R. Wallace in 1947, 7 and the first experimental discovery of graphene was conducted by H. P. Boehm et al in 1962. 8,9 Since its successful fabrication in 2004, single-layer graphene or two-dimensional (2D) graphene has drawn much attention because its one-atom thickness, 2D quantum confinement, and highly symmetric hexagonal lattice can result in many novel properties, 10 especially the anomalous quantum Hall effect, 11 and ultrahigh charge-carrier mobility.…”

“…Different transition pressures of b-GaSe to the cubic phase have been reported, ranging from 17 to 29.2 GPa. 21,23 For GaTe, the transition to the rocksalt phase is expected at a pressure of about 7 GPa. 24 However, it is important to note that low-angle XRD, which is commonly used to study two-dimensional materials, can be insensitive to local distortions and can sometimes lead to erroneous conclusions.…”
