Band parameters of phosphorene

چکیده
Phosphorene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial with a direct band-gap at the Brillouin zone center. In this paper, we present a recently derived effective-mass theory of the band structure in the presence of strain and electric field, based upon group theory. Band parameters for this theory are computed using a first-principles theory based upon the generalized-gradient approximation to the density-functional theory. These parameters and Hamiltonian will be useful for modeling physical properties of phosphorene.

Energy band correction due to one dimension tension in phosphorene
Among graphene-like family, phosphorene is a typical semiconducting layered material, which can also be a superconductor in low temperature. Applying pressure or tension on phosphorene lattice results in changing the hopping terms, which change the energy bands of the material. In this research we use the tight-binding Hamiltonian, including relevant hopping terms, to calculate energy bands of ...
متن کاملLayer-dependent Band Alignment and Work Function of Few-Layer Phosphorene
Using first-principles calculations, we study the electronic properties of few-layer phosphorene focusing on layer-dependent behavior of band gap, work function band alignment and carrier effective mass. It is found that few-layer phosphorene shows a robust direct band gap character, and its band gap decreases with the number of layers following a power law. The work function decreases rapidly ...
متن کاملPhosphorene: an unexplored 2D semiconductor with a high hole mobility.
We introduce the 2D counterpart of layered black phosphorus, which we call phosphorene, as an unexplored p-type semiconducting material. Same as graphene and MoS2, single-layer phosphorene is flexible and can be mechanically exfoliated. We find phosphorene to be stable and, unlike graphene, to have an inherent, direct, and appreciable band gap. Our ab initio calculations indicate that the band ...
متن کاملAbsolute deformation potentials of two-dimensional materials
We present ab initio calculations of uniaxial absolute deformation potentials of the valence and the conduction bands in monolayer MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, WSe2, h-BN, and phosphorene. Calculations are performed using both semilocal and hybrid functionals. The absolute positions of the band edges in strained and unstrained materials are determined using the vacuum level as reference. For WSe2, we comp...
متن کاملChemical modifications and stability of phosphorene with impurities: a first principles study.
We perform a systematic first-principles study of phosphorene in the presence of typical monovalent (hydrogen and fluorine) and divalent (oxygen) impurities. The results of our modeling suggest a decomposition of phosphorene into weakly bonded one-dimensional (1D) chains upon single- and double-side hydrogenation and fluorination. In spite of a sizable quasiparticle band gap (2.29 eV), fully hy...
