The theoretical framework, which is built from the first-principles results, is successfully developed for investigating emergent two-dimensional materials, as it is clearly illustrated by carbon substitution in silicene. By the delicate VASP calculations and analyses, the multi-orbital hybridizations are thoroughly identified from the optimal honeycomb lattices, the atom-dominated energy spectra, the spatial charge density distributions, and the atom and orbital-decomposed van Hove singularities, being very sensitive to the concentration and arrangements of guest atoms. All the binary two-dimensional silicon-carbon compounds belong to the finite- or zero-gap semiconductors, corresponding to the thoroughly/strongly/slightly modified Dirac-cone structures near the Fermi level. Additionally, there are frequent π and σ band crossings, but less anti-crossing behaviors. Apparently, our results indicate the well-defined π and σ bondings.

The physical and bonding properties of a new class of two-dimensional materials – CuXSe2 (X = Cl, Br) – are investigated using first-principles methods. 2D CuXSe2 are indirect band gap and possess extremely anisotropic and very high carrier mobilities.

Abstract MXene, the class of two-dimensional materials, has been found to be useful as potential electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors. Although experimental investigation on the electrochemical performances of a few MXenes have been carried out with exciting results, a complete understanding of their atomic scale behaviour is yet to be done. Using first-principles electronic structure methods, we perform a systematic investigation of the capacitances in pristine and functionalised MXenes Mn+1CnO2 where M = T i, V, Nb and Mo. We provide results on each of the three sources of the capacitance and analyse them in detail for a complete understanding of their behaviour. The inter-pretation of the experimental results, wherever available, in the light of our computations,provides useful insights.

Two-dimensional ferroelastic materials and two-dimensional materials with negative Poisson’s ratios have attracted great interest. Here, using first-principles calculations, we reveal the materials—monolayer YbX (X=S, Se, Te) that harbors both ferroelasticity...
