due to its layer-controlled direct bandgap, high carrier mobility, negative Poisson's ratio and …

Abstract 2D materials are the focus of an intense research effort because of their unique
properties and their potential for revealing intriguing new phenomena. Phosphorene, a …

The successful isolation of phosphorene (atomic layer thick black phosphorus) in 2014 has
currently aroused the interest of 2D material researchers. In this review, first, the …

One hundred years after its first successful synthesis in the bulk form in 1914, black
phosphorus (black P) was recently rediscovered from the perspective of a 2D layered …

Phosphorus is a nonmetal with several allotropes, from the highly reactive white phosphorus
to the thermodynamically stable black phosphorus (BP) with a puckered orthorhombic …

The recent isolation of atomically thin black phosphorus by mechanical exfoliation of bulk
layered crystals has triggered an unprecedented interest, even higher than that raised by the …

Boosted by the great success of graphene, the past decade has witnessed the rapid
development of graphene-analogous two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. Despite the high …
