    A Dirac-Semimetal Two-Dimensional Ben4: Thickness-Dependent Electronic and Optical Properties
    (AIP Publishing LLC, 2021) Bafekry, A.; Stampfl, C.; Faraji, M.; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Fadlallah, M. M.; Jappor, H. R.; Ghergherehchi, M.
    Motivated by the recent experimental realization of a two-dimensional (2D) BeN4 monolayer, in this study we investigate the structural, dynamical, electronic, and optical properties of a monolayer and few-layer BeN4 using first-principles calculations. The calculated phonon band dispersion reveals the dynamical stability of a free-standing BeN4 layer, while the cohesive energy indicates the energetic feasibility of the material. Electronic band dispersions show that monolayer BeN4 is a semi-metal whose conduction and valence bands touch each other at the Sigma point. Our results reveal that increasing the layer number from single to six-layers tunes the electronic nature of BeN4. While monolayer and bilayer structures display a semi-metallic behavior, structures thicker than that of three-layers exhibit a metallic nature. Moreover, the optical parameters calculated for monolayer and bilayer structures reveal that the bilayer can absorb visible light in the ultraviolet and visible regions better than the monolayer structure. Our study investigates the electronic properties of Dirac-semimetal BeN4 that can be an important candidate for applications in nanoelectronic and optoelectronic.

    Ballistic Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Two-Dimensional Group Iii-Vi Monolayers
    (American Physical Society, 2021) Çınar, Mustafa Neşet; Özbal Sargın, Gözde; Sevim, Koray; Özdamar, Burak; Kurt, Gizem; Sevinçli, Haldun
    Ballistic transport and thermoelectric properties of group III-VI compounds (XY: X = B, Al, Ga, In, Tl; Y = O, S, Se, Te, Po) are investigated based on first-principles calculations and Landauer formalism. This large family is composed of 25 compounds which stands out with their unique electronic band structures. Mexican hat shaped valence band, which exhibits quartic energy-momentum relation gives rise to a sharp peak in the density of states as well as a steplike electronic transmission spectrum near the valence band edge. The intriguing electronic band structure and transport properties motivate us to explore thermoelectric properties of group III-VI monolayers. We find that, in addition to the stepwise transmission at the band edge, flat bands, valley degeneracy, and band degeneracy are the factors that enhance thermoelectric efficiencies. For heavier compounds, better thermoelectric efficiencies are possible for both n-type and p-type carriers.
