This paper constructs a new type of two-dimensional graphene-like Janus GaInSTe monolayer and systematically investigates its structural and electronic properties as well as the effect of external electric field using first-principles calculations. In the ground state, Janus GaInSTe monolayer is dynamically stable with no imaginary frequencies in its phonon spectrum and possesses a direct band gap semiconductor. The band gap of Janus GaInSTe monolayer can be tuned by applying an electric field, which leads the different transitions from semiconductor to metal, and from indirect to direct band gap. These findings show a great potential application of Janus GaInSTe material for designing next-generation devices.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have gained great attention because of their peculiar physical properties that make them interesting for a wide range of applications. Lately, alloying between different transition metal dichalcogenides has been proposed as an approach to control two-dimensional phase stability and to obtain compounds with tailored characteristics. In this theoretical study, we predict the phase diagram and the electronic properties of Mo xTi1− xS2 at varying stoichiometry and show how the material is metallic, when titanium is the predominant species, while it behaves as a p-doped semiconductor, when approaching pure MoS2 composition. Correspondingly, the thermodynamically most stable phase switches from the tetragonal to the hexagonal one. Further, we present an example which shows how the proposed alloys can be used to obtain new vertical two-dimensional heterostructures achieving effective electron/hole separation.

Density functional theory calculations are performed in order to study the structural and electronic properties of monolayer Pt2HgSe3. Effects of uniaxial and biaxial strain, layer thickness, electric field and out-of-plane pressure on the electronic properties are systematically investigated.

We utilize first principles calculations to investigate the mechanical properties and strain-dependent electronic band structure of the hexagonal phase of two dimensional (2D) HfS2. We apply three different deformation modes within −10% to 30% range of two uniaxial (D1, D2) and one biaxial (D3) strains along x, y, and x-y directions, respectively. The harmonic regions are identified in each deformation mode. The ultimate stress for D1, D2, and D3 deformations is obtained as 0.037, 0.038 and 0.044 (eV/Ang3), respectively. Additionally, the ultimate strain for D1, D2, and D3 deformation is obtained as 17.2, 17.51, and 21.17 (eV/Ang3), respectively. In the next step, we determine the second-, third-, and fourth-order elastic constants and the electronic properties of both unstrained and strained HfS2 monolayers are investigated. Our findings reveal that the unstrained HfS2 monolayer is a semiconductor with an indirect bandgap of 1.12 eV. We then tune the bandgap of HfS2 with strain engineering. Our findings reveal how to tune and control the electronic properties of HfS2 monolayer with strain engineering, and make it a potential candidate for a wide range of applications including photovoltaics, electronics and optoelectronics.
