Cover Story: Boron arsenate, BAsO4, is crystalline material (I4 group) that was recently shown to be auxetic in its (001) plane for loading in any direction in this plane and which exhibits negative linear compressibility at elevated pressured in its [001] direction. This work presents and discusses the results of extensive density functional theory (DFT)-based simulations aimed at studying deformations that such crystals undergo when subjected to shear loading in an attempt to obtain a better insight into the manner in which this material responds to mechanical loads. The deformations for shearing in the (001) plane are described in terms of the “rotating squares” model, which was used to explain the auxeticity in the same plane where it was shown that shear loading primarily results in deformations which make the “squares” become “parallelogram-like” rather than rotate.
