Strain engineering in optoelectronic properties of MoSi2N4 monolayer: ultrahigh tunability

Abstract: Controllable optical properties are important for optoelectronic applications. Recently, the two-dimensional MoSi2N4 monolayer was successfully synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, showing remarkable stability in the ambient condition. Motivated by this achievement, herein, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of MoSi2N4 monolayer under mechanical strain through the first-principle calculations. The considered monolayer is structurally and dynamically stable. It is a semiconductor with an … Show more

“…When the inner N atom is replaced by C, MoSi 2 CN 3 , and WSi The electronic transition of monolayer MA 2 Z 4 from semi conductor to metal can be triggered by applying inplane strains. [63,109] The bandgap of monolayer MoSi 2 N 4 decreases with the increasing inplane biaxial strain (Figure 9a). The relation between bandgap (E g ) and strain (e) is fitted as [109] E g = 0.004 e 2 − 0.17 e + 1.87.…”

The relation between bandgap (E g ) and strain (e) is fitted as [109] E g = 0.004 e 2 − 0.17 e + 1.87. Under an inplane biaxial strain of 4% (6%), the effective mass of holes is -2.33 m e (-3.84 m e ) and the effective mass of electrons is 0.48 m e (0.43 m e ).…”

“…8 Suitable strains have been identified to trigger intriguing influences on the MoSi 2 N 4 monolayer and its van der Waals heterostructures. [51][52][53][54] Thus, we wonder if the strains will affect the type-II band alignment and direct-band nature in the (MoSi 2 N 4 ) 8 (WSi 2 N 4 ) 8 lateral heterostructure. Fig.…”
