Negative In-Plane Poisson’s Ratio for Single Layer Black Phosphorus: An Atomistic Simulation Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We utilized molecular statics (MS) simulations to investigate the auxeticity of single layer black phosphorus (SLBP). Our simulation results show that the SLBP has a negative in-plane Poisson’s ratio in the zigzag direction when the applied strain along the armchair direction exceeds 0.018. We show that the interplay between bond stretching and bond rotating modes determines the in-plane Poisson’s ratio behavior. While the bond stretching mode always tends to increase the in-plane auxeticity, the bond rotating mode might increase or decrease the in-plane auxeticity. Furthermore, we show that graphite also exhibits an in-plane negative Poisson’s ratio at finite strains due to a similar mechanism.

متن کاملNegative poisson's ratio in single-layer black phosphorus.
The Poisson's ratio is a fundamental mechanical property that relates the resulting lateral strain to applied axial strain. Although this value can theoretically be negative, it is positive for nearly all materials, though negative values have been observed in so-called auxetic structures. However, nearly all auxetic materials are bulk materials whose microstructure has been specifically engine...
متن کاملA Stillinger-Weber potential for single-layered black phosphorus, and the importance of cross-pucker interactions for a negative Poisson's ratio and edge stress-induced bending.
The distinguishing structural feature of single-layered black phosphorus is its puckered structure, which leads to many novel physical properties. In this work, we first present a new parameterization of the Stillinger-Weber potential for single-layered black phosphorus. In doing so, we reveal the importance of a cross-pucker interaction term in capturing its unique mechanical properties, such ...
