Most recently, a brand new phosphorus allotrope called green phosphorus has been predicted, which has a direct band gap up to 2.4 eV, and its single-layer form termed green phosphorene shows high stability. Here the mechanical properties…

We studied the electronic structure and optic absorption of phosphorene (monolayer of black phosphorus) under strain. Strain was found to be a powerful tool for the band structure engineering. The in-plane strain in armchair or zigzag…

We present an ab-initio investigation of effects of shear strain on band structure and electronic properties of 2D phosphorene. We carried out DFT calculations to determine the shear stress as a function of shear strain and found the…

Artificial monolayer black phosphorus, the so-called phosphorene has attracted global interest with its distinguished anisotropic optoelectronic and electronic properties. Here, we unraveled the shear-induced direct to indirect gap…

Recently fabricated two dimensional (2D) phosphorene crystal structures have demonstrated great potential in applications of electronics. Mechanical strain was demonstrated to be able to significantly modify the electronic properties of…

Phosphorene, a two-dimensional (2D) analog of black phosphorous, has been a subject of immense interest recently, due to its high carrier mobilities and a tunable bandgap. So far, tunability has been predicted to be obtained with very high…

Based on density functional simulations combined with the Landauer transport theory, the mechanical strain impacts on the chemical bonds of phosphorene and their effects on the electronic properties are studied. Moreover, the effect of the…

Electronic structures of wurtzite GaAs nanowires in the [0001] direction were studied using first-principles calculations. It was found that the band gap of GaAs nanowires experience a direct-to-indirect transition when the diameter of the…

We present an analytic study, based on the tight-binding approximation, of strain effects on the electronic bandgap in single-layer black phosphorus. We obtain an expression for the variation of the bandgap induced by a general strain type…

Using the tight-binding (TB) approximation with inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction, we predict a topological phase transition in the electronic band structure of phosphorene in the presence of axial strains. We derive a low-energy TB…

We study the effects of the uniaxial tensile strain and shear deformation as well as their combinations on the electronic properties of single-layer black phosphorene. The evolutions of the strain-dependent band gap are obtained using the…

In this study, we highlight the potential of strain engineering in graphene/hBN (hexagonal Boron nitride) 2D heterostructures, enabling their use as wide-range light absorbers with significant implications for optoelectronic applications.…

The interaction between a graphene layer and a hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) substrate induces lateral displacements and strains in the graphene layer. The displacements lead to the appearance of commensurate regions and the existence of an…

We investigate, based on the tight-binding model and in the linear deformation regime, the strain dependence of the electronic band structure of phosphorene, exposed to a uniaxial strain in one of its principle directions, the normal, the…

Controlling the bandgap through local-strain engineering is an exciting avenue for tailoring optoelectronic materials. Two-dimensional crystals are particularly suited for this purpose because they can withstand unprecedented…

Using the first principles calculations, we show that mechanically tunable electronic energy gap is realizable in bilayer graphene if different homogeneous strains are applied to the two layers. It is shown that the size of energy gap can…

We performed a first-principles study of the electronic behavior of a 2D hexagonal boron phosphide monolayer (2D-h-BP). The system was deformed isotropically by applying a simultaneous tensile strain along the a and b crystal axes. We…

Orthorhombic arsenene was recently predicted as an indirect bandgap semiconductor. Here, we demonstrate that nanostructuring arsenene into nanoribbons can successfully transform the bandgap to be direct. It is found that direct bandgaps…
