Recently, phosphorene, a monolayer honeycomb structure of black phosphorus, was experimentally manufactured and has attracted rapidly growing interest. Motivated by phosphorene, here we investigate the stability and electronic properties of the honeycomb structure of the arsenic system based on firs…

We demonstrate few-layer arsenene similar to phosphorene, which are derived
from the or- thorhombic bulk arsenic but are thermally stable, semiconducting
and of high carrier mobility. Although its monolayer is an indirect bandgap
semiconductor, which is dominated by the mutual competition between the
intarlayer bond parameters R1 and R2, the indirect-direct bandgap tran- sition
is …read more

Recently phosphorene, monolayer honeycomb structure of black phosphorus, was
experimentally manufactured and attracts rapidly growing interests. Here we
investigate stability and electronic properties of honeycomb structure of
arsenic system based on first principle calculations. Two types of honeycomb
structures, buckled and puckered, are found to be stable. We call them arsenene
as in the case …read more
