High-throughput screening of the static friction and ideal cleavage strength of solid interfaces.

TLDR
The ratio between the frictional and cleavage strengths is provided as good indicator for the material failure mode – dislocation propagation versus crack nucleation.
Abstract
We present a comprehensive ab initio, high-throughput study of the frictional and cleavage strengths of interfaces of elemental crystals with different orientations. It is based on the detailed analysis of the adhesion energy as a function of lateral, γ(x, y), and perpendicular displacements, γ(z), with respect to the considered interface plane. We use the large amount of computed data to derive fundamental insight into the relation of the ideal strength of an interface plane with its adhesion. Moreover, the ratio between the frictional and cleavage strengths is provided as good indicator for the material failure mode – dislocation propagation versus crack nucleation. All raw and curated data are made available to be used as input parameters for continuum mechanic models, benchmarks, or further analysis.

Monitoring water and oxygen splitting at graphene edges and folds: Insights into the lubricity of graphitic materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics approach is adopted to accurately describe the tribochemistry mechanisms underlying these behaviours, and it is shown that reactive edges are able to cause a huge friction increase, which is quantified for graphene flakes between sliding diamond surfaces.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.

Semiempirical GGA-type density functional constructed with a long-range dispersion correction.

TL;DR: A new density functional of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) type for general chemistry applications termed B97‐D is proposed, based on Becke's power‐series ansatz from 1997, and is explicitly parameterized by including damped atom‐pairwise dispersion corrections of the form C6 · R−6.

QUANTUM ESPRESSO: a modular and open-source software project for quantum simulations of materials

TL;DR: QUANTUM ESPRESSO as discussed by the authors is an integrated suite of computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling, based on density functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials (norm-conserving, ultrasoft, and projector-augmented wave).
