Low dimensional materials are promising candidates for the construction of electronic and
optoelectronic devices owing to their novel electronic structure and exciting physiochemical …

Layered materials with unique structures and symmetries have attracted tremendous interest
for constructing 2-dimensional (2D) structures. The weak interlayer interaction renders them …

Specific functionalities at the nanoscale can emerge from the broken inversion symmetry in
two-dimensional (2D) Janus monolayers. In this work, we employed the first-principles …

Superhydrophobic coating can be widely used in many fields because it is not easily wetted
by water like lotus leaves. However, most of superhydrophobic coating is difficult to …

Highly efficient and sustainable energy resources are in great demand today to combat
environmental pollution and the energy crisis. In this study, we examined the novel 2D …

Named after the two‐faced Roman god of transitions, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)
Janus monolayers have two different chalcogen surfaces, inherently breaking the out‐of …

Recent developments in the synthesis of highly crystalline ultrathin BiTeX (X= Br, Cl)
structures [Debarati Hajra et al., ACS Nano 14, 15626 (2020)] have led to the exploration of …

The dipole moment (µ) is a critical parameter in Janus structures, influencing band
alignments and carrier transmissions. However, evaluating µ in 2D Janus layers is …

Abstract 2D Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted attention due to
their emergent properties arising from broken mirror symmetry and self‐driven polarization …

Motivated by the recent successful synthesis of highly crystalline ultrathin BiTeCl and BiTeBr
layered sheets [Debarati Hajra et al., ACS Nano, 2020, 14, 15626], herein for the first time …
