Ab-initio study of elastic and structural properties of layered nitride materials

Layered nitride materials in the form of Carbon nitride (C3N4) was speculated nearly 22 years ago. It has various structural forms ranging from layered graphitic to superhard structures. Using first principles calculations based on density functional theory, the structural and elastic properties...
