Phosphorene, an emerging two-dimensional material, has received considerable attention
due to its layer-controlled direct bandgap, high carrier mobility, negative Poisson's ratio and …

Black phosphorus (BP), a novel two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconductor material, has
attracted tremendous attention since 2014 due to its prominent carrier mobility, thickness …

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 …

Based on first-principles calculations, we investigate a novel class of 2D materials–MX2
metal dihalides (X= Cl, Br, I). Our results show that single-layer dihalides are energetically …

From the group-IIIA (borophene), to the group-IVA (silicene, germanene and stanine), as
well as the group-VA (phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene and bismuthene) and even the …

Soon after the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin black phosphorus and fabrication
of field effect transistors thereof, theoretical studies have predicted that other group-VA …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a wide range of atomic structures, compositions, and
associated versatility of properties. Furthermore, for a given composition, a variety of …

This tutorial review describes the ongoing effort to convert main-group elements of the
periodic table and their combinations into stable 2D materials, which is sometimes called …

As a new type of two‐dimensional (2D) materials, monoelemental 2D materials have the
atomic structure similar to graphene, and their excellent optical and electronic properties …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have attracted intensive interests in the
past decade. Their unique electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties render …
