  The thermoelectric properties of 54 different group 4 half-Heusler (HH) alloys have been studied from first principles. Electronic transport was studied with density functional theory using hybrid functionals facilitated by the k⋅p method, while the temperature-dependent effective potential method was used for the phonon contributions to the figure of merit ZT. The phonon thermal conductivity was calculated including anharmonic phonon-phonon, isotope, alloy, and grain-boundary scattering. HH alloys have an XYZ composition, and those studied here are in the group 4-9-15 (Ti,Zr,Hf)(Co,Rh,Ir)(As,Sb,Bi) and group 4-10-14 (Ti,Zr,Hf)(Ni,Pd,Pt)(Ge,Sn,Pb). The electronic part of the thermal conductivity was found to significantly impact ZT and thus the optimal doping level. Furthermore, the choice of functional was found to significantly affect thermoelectric properties, particularly for structures exhibiting band alignment features. The intrinsic thermal conductivity was significantly reduced when alloy and grain-boundary scattering were accounted for, which also reduced the spread in thermal conductivity. It was found that sublattice disorder on the Z-site, i.e., the site occupied by group 14 or 15 elements, was more effective than X-site substitution, occupied by group 4 elements. The calculations confirmed that ZrNiSn, ZrCoSb, and ZrCoBi based alloys display promising thermoelectric properties. A few other n-type and p-type compounds were also predicted to be potentially excellent thermoelectric materials, given that sufficiently high charge carrier concentrations can be achieved. This study provides insight into the thermoelectric potential of HH alloys and casts light on strategies to optimize the thermoelectric performance of multicomponent alloys.

  We present a theory for Casimir–Polder forces acting on greenhouse gas molecules dissolved in a thin water film. Such a nano-sized film has been predicted to arise on the surface of melting ice as stabilized by repulsive Lifshitz forces. We show that different models for the effective polarisability of greenhouse gas molecules in water lead to different predictions for how Casimir–Polder forces influence their extractions from the melting ice surface. For instance, in the most intricate model of a finite-sized molecule inside a cavity, dispersion potentials push the methane molecules towards the ice surface whereas the oxygen typically will be attracted towards the closest interface (ice or air). Previous models for effective polarisability had suggested that O2 would also be pushed towards the ice surface. Release of greenhouse gas molecules from the surface of melting ice can potentially influence climate greenhouse effects. With this model, we show that some molecules cannot escape from water as single molecules. Due to the contradiction of the results and the escape dynamics of gases from water, we extended the models to describe bubble filled with several molecules increasing their buoyancy force.

  The Casimir-Lifshitz torque between two biaxially polarizable anisotropic planar slabs is shown to exhibit a nontrivial sign reversal in its rotational sense. The critical distance $a_c$ between the slabs that marks this reversal is characterized by the frequency $\omega_c\sim c/2a_c$ at which the in-planar polarizabilities along the two principal axes are equal. The two materials seek to align their principal axes of polarizabilities in one direction below $a_c$, while above $a_c$ their axes try to align rotated perpendicular relative to their previous minimum energy orientation. The sign reversal disappears in the nonretarded limit. Our perturbative result, derived for the case when the differences in the relative polarizabilities are small, matches excellently with the exact theory for uniaxial materials. We illustrate our results for black phosphorus and phosphorene.

  In spite of their relatively high lattice thermal conductivity κℓ, the XNiSn (X=Ti, Zr, or Hf) half-Heusler compounds are good thermoelectric materials. Previous studies have shown that κℓ can be reduced by sublattice alloying on the X site. To cast light on how the alloy composition affects κℓ, we study this system using the phonon Boltzmann-transport equation within the relaxation time approximation in conjunction with density functional theory. The effect of alloying through mass-disorder scattering is explored using the virtual crystal approximation to screen the entire ternary TixZryHf1−x−yNiSn phase diagram. The lowest lattice thermal conductivity is found for the TixHf1−xNiSn compositions; in particular, there is a shallow minimum centered at Ti0.5Hf0.5NiSn with κℓ taking values between 3.2 and 4.1 W/mK when the Ti content varies between 20% and 80%. Interestingly, the overall behavior of mass-disorder scattering in this system can only be understood from a combination of the nature of the phonon modes and the magnitude of the mass variance. Mass-disorder scattering is not effective at scattering acoustic phonons of low energy. By using a simple model of grain boundary scattering, we find that nanostructuring these compounds can scatter such phonons effectively and thus further reduce the lattice thermal conductivity; for instance, Ti0.5Hf0.5NiSn with a grain size of L=100 nm experiences a 42% reduction of κℓ compared to that of the single crystal.

  We have calculated the electronic properties and layer stacking patterns for a group of twelve hexagonal covalent organic frameworks. This has been done in order to explore this group of materials on a fundamental level and aim to lay the ground work for further studies, which will focus on assessing these frameworks as useful materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices. To explore these materials, we have deployed numerical density functional theory calculations. A Van der Waals density functional is used to describe non-local correlation effects that give rise to stabilizing van der Waals forces, essential in layered systems. We found that all the materials prefer to stack in specific configurations close to AA-stacking, where subsequent layers are placed directly on-top of each other. We also found that the materials exhibit dispersion in the out-of-plane direction when we go from two-dimensional single layers to three-dimensional stacks.
