Graphitic nanofilms as precursors to wurtzite films: theory.
TL;DR: Periodic ab initio density functional calculations on ultrathin films of AlN, BeO, GaN, SiC, ZnO, and ZnS demonstrate the stabilization of thicker films terminating with the polar {0001} surface via charge transfer and metallization of the surface layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative thermal expansion
TL;DR: In this article, the underlying thermodynamics, emphasizing the roles of thermal stress and elasticity, are reviewed, and vibrational and non-vibrational mechanisms operating on the atomic scale that are responsible for negative expansion in a wide range of materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ab initio study of MnO and NiO
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-energy dwellings: the contribution of behaviours to actual performance
TL;DR: In this article, a post-occupancy evaluation of a UK EcoHomes site with an "excellent" rating was carried out to investigate the energy performance of the buildings and the comfort and satisfaction of users.
