An Investigation of Monolayer As_1−xP_x Solid Solutions: From a Theoretical Perspective

Abstract

Phase stability and disordered solid solutions should be noticed in theoretical works due to the operating temperature up to several hundred Kelvin in the normal growth process. To better understand the properties of monolayer As1−xPx solid solutions, the phase diagram and properties of both ordered and disordered structures are investigated from a theoretical perspective. It is found that monolayer As1−xPx prefer phase‐separating structures at low temperatures and will form disordered solid solutions with temperature elevating. Considering that random atomic arrangement will destroy the inner symmetry of structures, disordered solid solutions are expected to hold piezoelectric properties which are not available in the phase‐separating ordered structures. The strains induced properties are examined which could give a detailed picture of the electronic and catalytic properties. Here, the systematic investigation of As1−xPx will be valuable for understanding monolayer As1−xPx solid solutions and is believed to set a tone for applications in further electronics and optoelectronic applications.

Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Microbeads

“…As stated above in Figure , the choice of carbon materials, cross-linkers, and optional additives provide a toolbox to customize composition, structure, and function. For instance, the porosity may also be modulated with the assistance of not only organic porogens (Figure c) but also other types (e.g., sodium chloride, silica, or polystyrene particles) followed by leaching of the porogen , or temperature annealing. , Additional changes in chemical properties (e.g., hydrophobicity) and/or physical properties (e.g., electrical, thermal, or magnetic properties) would require functionalization of the carbon material or incorporation of atoms or molecules into the carbon slurry (e.g., copper to modulate electrical conductivity or iron to modulate magnetic properties). Alternatively, the carbon microbead’s external surface could be further functionalized through modifications .…”
