Spontaneous dynamical disordering of borophenes in MgB2 and related metal borides

Spontaneous dynamical disordering of borophenes in MgB2 and related metal borides

Layered boron compounds attract enormous interest in applications. This work reports first-principles calculations coupled with global optimization to show that the outer boron surface in MgB2 nanosheets undergo disordering and clustering, which is experimentally confirmed in synthesized MgB2 nanosh...
