Using first-principles calculations based on density functional perturbation theory, we demonstrate hydrogenation-induced superconductivity in monolayer TiB2H. Hydrogen adatoms destroy the Dirac state of monolayer TiB2 and monolayer TiB2H has a high vibration frequency. Monolayer TiB2H is a phonon-mediated superconductor. Monolayer TiB2H has a predicted [Formula: see text] of 8[Formula: see text]K, which further increases under external tensile strain. Thus, this study extends our understanding of superconductivity in two-dimensional (2D) materials and its potential applications.

Two-dimensional (2D) or layered materials have a great potential for applications in energy storage, catalysis, optoelectronics and gas separation. Fabricating novel 2D or quasi-2D layered materials composed of relatively abundant and inexpensive atomic species is an important issue for practical usage in industry. Here, we suggest the layer-structured AlOOH (Boehmite) as a promising candidate for such applications. Boehmite is a well-known layer-structured material and a single-layer can be exfoliated from the bulk boehmite by breaking the interlayer hydrogen bonding. We study atomic and electronic band structures of both bulk and single-layer boehmite, and also obtain the single-layer exfoliation energy using first-principles calculations.

ABSTRACTMany heterogeneous and flat two dimensional (2D) materials with finite band gap have been researched for its suitability in exotic applications. For instance, zinc oxide (ZnO) with honey comb structure has optimum band gap that makes it eligible for opto-electronic applications. Recently, our research group have found that pyrene based tetratopic ligands (PTL) are suitable for functionalizing ZnO nanorods. In this study, neat and defective 2D ZnO layer is functionalized with different pyrene based ligands with various functional groups. First principles calculations are done and the degree of affinity of pyrene ligands towards neat and defective ZnO sheets is compared.

Decorating two-dimensional (2D) materials with transition-metal adatoms is an effective way to bring about new physical properties that are intriguing for applications in electronics and spintronics devices. Here, we systematically studied the coverage-dependent magnetic and electronic properties of graphene decorated by Co adatoms, based on first-principles calculations. We found that if the Co coverage is larger than 1/3[Formula: see text]ML, the Co atoms will aggregate to form a Co monolayer and then a van der Waals bilayer system between the Co monolayer and graphene forms. When the Co coverage is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ML, the Co adatom is spin-polarized with spin moment varying from 1.1 to 1.4[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] orbitals of Co hybridize significantly with the [Formula: see text] bands of graphene, which generates a series of new bands in the energy range from [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]eV to 1[Formula: see text]eV with respect to the Dirac point of graphene. In most cases, the new bands near the Fermi level lead to topological states characterized by the quantum anomalous Hall effect.

Structural Distortions

The manuscript addresses the issue of the structural distortions occurring at multiple bonds between high main group elements, focusing on group 14. These distortions are known as trans-bending in silenes, disilenes and higher group analogues, and buckling in 2D materials likes silicene and germanene. A simple but correlated \sigma + \pi model is developed and validated with first-principles calculations, and used to explain the different behaviour of second- and higher- row elements.

AbstractUtilizing a two-dimensional material in an electronic device as channel layer inevitably involves the formation of contacts with metallic electrodes. As these contacts can dramatically affect the behavior of the device, we study the electronic properties of monolayer Janus MoSSe in contact with different metallic electrodes by first-principles calculations, focusing on the differences in the characteristics of contacts with the two sides of MoSSe. In particular, we demonstrate that the Fermi level pinning is different for the two sides of MoSSe, with the magnitude resembling that of MoS2 or MoSe2, while both sides can form Ohmic contacts with common electrode materials without any further adaptation, which is an outstanding advantage over MoS2 and MoSe2.
