Auxetic materials are in high demand for advanced applications due to their relatively rare negative Poisson’s ratio in two-dimensional materials. This study investigates the structural, mechanical, electronic, optical and photocatalytic properties of the AsBiTe3 monolayer using ﬁrst-principles calculations. Through analysis of phonon dispersion curves, ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, and Born conditions, we have conﬁrmed the thermal, dynamic, and mechanical stability of the AsBiTe3 monolayer. The study of the mechanical properties of this material revealed signiﬁcant anisotropy and a bidirectional in-plane negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR). In addition, electronic band structures calculated, with and without spin-orbit coupling (SOC) using the HSE functional, indicate that this monolayer exhibits the characteristics of an indirect-gap semiconductor around 1.17 and 1.32 eV, respectively. Notably, by assessing the optical properties of AsBiTe3 monolayer, it has been found that this monolayer has a strong light-harvesting capability with an absorption coeﬃcient higher than 10-5 cm-1 in the visible region. Fascinatingly, under a biaxial 1% and 4% tensile and -2% compressive strain, the band edge of the AsBiTe3 monolayer extends across the redox potential of water at pH = 0, 7 and 14, respectively. This suggests that this monolayer holds promise as a potential material for catalytic water splitting. These results should inspire further experimental and theoretical research, aimed at fully exploring the potential applications of this new class of 2D materials.

Despite the remarkable theoretical applications of silicene, its synthesis remains a complex task, with epitaxial growth being one of the main routes involving depositing evaporated Si atoms onto a suitable substrate. Additionally, the requirement for a substrate to maintain the silicene stability poses several difficulties in accurately determining the growth mechanisms and the resulting structures, leading to conflicting results in the literature. In this study, large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are performed to uncover the growth mechanisms and characteristics of epitaxially grown silicene sheets on Au(111) and Au(110) substrates, considering different temperatures and Si deposition rates. The growth process has been found to initiate with the nucleation of several independent islands homogeneously distributed on the substrate surface, which gradually merge to form a complete silicene sheet. The results consistently demonstrate the presence of a buckled silicene structure, although this characteristic is notably reduced when using an Au(111) substrate. Furthermore, the analysis also focuses on the quality and growth mode of the silicene sheets, considering the influence of temperature and deposition rate. The findings reveal a prevalence of the Frank-vander Merwe growth mode, along with diverse forms of defects throughout the sheets.
