Motived by experimentally synthesized $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ (\textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{Science 369, 670-674 (2020})), the intrinsic piezoelectricity in monolayer $\mathrm{XSi_2N_4}$ (X=Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mo and W) are studied by density…
Motivated by the fact that septuple-atomic-layer MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ can be structurally viewed as the combination of double-atomic-layer MnTe intercalating into quintuple-atomic-layer Bi$_2$Te$_3$, we present a general approach of constructing…
The recent synthesis of MoSi2N4 material, along with theoretical predictions encompassing the entire family of chemical analogs, has opened up a new array of low-dimensional materials for a diverse range of optoelectronics and photovoltaics…
We predict enormous piezoelectric effects in intrinsic monolayer group IV monochalcogenides (MX, M=Sn or Ge, X=Se or S), including SnSe, SnS, GeSe and GeS. Using first-principle simulations based on the modern theory of polarization, we…
Piezoelectricity appears in the inversion asymmetric crystal that converts mechanical deformational force to electricity. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcolgenide (TMDC) monolayers exhibit the piezoelectric effect due to the…
Chemical vapor deposition has been most recently employed to fabricate centimeter-scale high-quality single-layer MoSi2N4 (Science; 2020;369; 670). Motivated by this exciting experimental advance, herein we conduct extensive…
We find that several layer-phase group-III monochalcogenides, including GaS, GaSe and InSe, are piezoelectric in the monolayer form. First-principles calculations reveal that the piezoelectric coefficients of monolayer GaS, GaSe and InSe…

Two-dimensional heterostructure of WSe2/MoS2 atomic layers has unique piezoelectric characteristics which depends on the number of atomic layer, stacking type, and interlayer interaction size. The van der Waals heterostructure of p- and…
The septuple-atomic-layer $\mathrm{VSi_2P_4}$ with the same structure of experimentally synthesized $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ is predicted to be a spin-gapless semiconductor (SGS). In this work, the biaxial strain is applied to tune electronic…
The advancement of two-dimensional polar metals tends to be limited by the incompatibility between electric polarity and metallicity as well as dimension reduction. Here, we report polar and metallic Janus monolayers of MoSi$_2$N$_4$ family…
We investigated the interlayer coupling effect in homobilayer structures of MSi2X4 with M = Mo/W and X = N/P/As. Through the combination of first-principles calculations and analytical formulations, the equilibrium interlayer distance,…

Experimentally synthesized $\mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ (\textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{Science 369, 670-674 (2020)}) is a piezoelectric semiconductor. Here, we systematically study the large biaxial (isotropic) strain effects (0.90 to 1.10) on…
Metal contacts to two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are ubiquitous in modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. Such contacts are, however, often plagued by strong Fermi level pinning (FLP) effect which reduces the tunability of the…
Janus two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much attention due to possessing unique properties caused by their out-of-plane asymmetry, which have been achieved in many 2D families. In this work, the Janus monolayers are predicted in…
