Surface asymmetry induced turn-overed lifetime of acoustic phonons in monolayer MoSSe

Xuefei Yan et al.

Summary: Recent successful growth of asymmetric transition metal dichalcogenides via accurate manipulation of different chalcogen atoms in top and bottom surfaces demonstrates exotic electronic and chemical properties in such Janus systems. Within the framework of density functional perturbation theory, anharmonic phonon properties of monolayer Janus MoSSe sheet are explored. By considering three-phonons scattering, out-of-plane flexural acoustic (ZA) mode tends to undergo a stronger phonon scattering than transverse acoustic (TA) mode and the longitudinal acoustic (LA) mode with phonon lifetime of ZA (1.0 ps) < LA (23.8 ps) < TA (25.8 ps). This is sharply different from the symmetric MoS2 where flexural ZA mode has the weakest anharmonicity and is least scattered. Moreover, utilizing non-equilibrium Green function method, ballistic thermal conductance at room temperature is found to be around 0.11 nWK(-1)nm(-2), lower than that of MoS2. Our work highlights intriguing phononic properties of such MoSSe Janus layers associated with asymmetric surfaces.

Antimonene: a tuneable post-graphene material for advanced applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, energy and biomedicine

Jose A. Carrasco et al.

Summary: The post-graphene era is characterized by the emergence of two-dimensional materials, such as quasi-van der Waals antimonene, which exhibits a fascinating structure and outstanding electronic properties. Although the chemistry and physics of antimonene are still in their early stages, recent discoveries have shed light on its unique allotropy and rich chemical reactivity. Antimonene can be considered as one of the most promising post-graphene materials due to its controllable structure, properties, and applications.

Anomalous Thermal Transport Driven by Electron-Phonon Coupling in 2D Semiconductor h-BP

Zizhen Zhou et al.

Summary: In 2D semiconductor hexagonal boron phosphorus, electron-phonon coupling can be significantly enhanced or dominant through doping, leading to a significant reduction in lattice thermal conductivity. This unique phenomenon is attributed to the joint effects of horizontal mirror symmetry breaking and weak phonon-phonon scattering.

Low-energy intralayer phonon assisted carrier recombination in Z-scheme van der Waals heterostructures for photocatalysis

Hejin Yan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the intralayer phononic assisted recombination in a Z-scheme vdW heterostructure and found that the WSi2N4/MoS2 interface has weaker nonadiabatic coupling and a longer electron-hole recombination time, suggesting promising applications in photocatalysis. Comparisons between MoS2 and MoSe2 also revealed that vdW heterostructures with facile intralayer sliding and softening intralayer phonon could prolong the lifetime of carriers.

Thermoelectric performance of 2D materials: the band-convergence strategy and strong intervalley scatterings

Yu Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the (thermo)electric properties of non-polar monolayer beta- and alpha-antimonene, revealing strong intervalley scatterings between nearly degenerate valley states. It shows that the commonly-used deformation potential approximation method neglecting the dominant intervalley scattering leads to inaccurate estimations of electron-phonon scattering and thermoelectric transport properties. The study provides an accurate prediction of the thermoelectric performances of antimonenes and highlights the key role of intervalley scatterings in determining the electronic part of zT.
