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.

Tunable Band Gap

The effect of strain on the electronic properties of BC 3 sheet was studied by using first-principles density functional theory. It is found that the band gap of BC 3 sheet increases gradually when the applied tensile strain ranges from 0% to 12.5%. While the band gap decreases as the compressive strain is applied, especially resulting in the semiconductor-metal transition at some strain. Further analysis shows that the change of band gap mainly results from the variation of the energy of valence band maximum (VBM), which is related to the strength of the bonding state. The proposed mechanical control of the electronic properties will widen the application of BC 3 sheet in future nanotechnology.
