AbstractMonolayer MnCX3 metal–carbon trichalcogenides have been investigated by using the first-principle calculations. The compounds show half-metallic ferromagnetic characters. Our results reveal that their electronic and magnetic properties can be altered by applying uniaxial or biaxial strain. By tuning the strength of the external strain, the electronic bandgap and magnetic ordering of the compounds change and result in a phase transition from the half-metallic to the semiconducting phase. Furthermore, the vibrational and thermodynamic stability of the two-dimensional structure has been verified by calculating the phonon dispersion and molecular dynamics. Our study paves guidance for the potential applications of these two mono-layers in the future for spintronics and straintronics devices.

The effect of strain on the band structure of the GeH monolayer has been investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The results show that the change of the band gap under the zigzag strain, the armchair strain and the biaxial strain is nonlinear. The effect of the biaxial strain on the band gap is the most obvious. In addition, the changes of energy under the three kinds of strain are asymmetric and the biaxial strain make the energy change the most. This work has significant implication of strain to tune optical catalytic properties of GeH monolayer.
