By means of comprehensive first-principles calculations, we studied the geometric structure, the stability and electronic properties of the new two-dimensional(2D) Janus MoXB2(X=S, Se) monolayers. Our calculations demonstrated that the predicted Janus MoXB2 monolayers are all stable semiconductors with direct band gap. In this paper, we focus on impacts upon the electronic and optical properties of the MoXB2 monolayers under the different biaxial strains. With the compressive stress increases, the MoXB2 monolayers would become indirect band gap semiconductors, and then behave as semimetal. While under tensile strain, MoXB2 still maintain direct band gap. In addition, the optical calculation shows that biaxial strain leads to blue shifts in the optical absorption and reflectivity. The result indicates that MoXB2 may be promised nano candidate materials in optoelectronic devices.

We have investigated the effect of uniform plane strain on the electronic properties of monolayer 1T-TiS2using first-principles calculations. With the appropriate tensile strain, the material properties can be transformed from a semimetal to a direct band gap semiconductor.

We hereby are reporting the transition pressure at which lithium fluoride ( LiF ) compound transforms from direct band gap to indirect band gap insulator on the basis of FP-LAPW calculations. The fundamental band gap of LiF compound suffers direct to indirect transition at a pressure of 70 GPa. The study of the pressure effect on the optical properties e.g. dielectric function, reflectivity, refractive index and optical conductivity of LiF in the pressure between 0–100 GPa, shows that this pressure range is very critical for LiF compound as there are significant changes in the optical properties of this compound.

Using first principles calculations, we predicted that a direct-band-gap between 0.98 and 2.13 eV can be obtained in silicene by symmetrically and asymmetrically (Janus) functionalisation with halogen atoms and applying elastic tensile strain.
