Topological transition in monolayer blue phosphorene with transiton-metal adatom under stain
arXiv:2001.09826 · doi:10.1063/1674-0068/cjcp2005061
Abstract
We carried out first-principles calculations to investigate the electronic properties of the monolayer blue phosphorene (BlueP) decorated by the group-IVB transition-metal adatoms (Cr, Mo and W), and found that the Cr-decorated BlueP is a magnetic half metal, while the Mo- and W-decorated BlueP are semiconductors with band gaps smaller than 0.2 eV. Compressive strains make the band gaps close and reopen and band inversions occur during this process, which induces topological transitions in the Mo-decorated BlueP (with strain of -5.75%) and W-decorated BlueP (with strain of -4.25%) from normal insulators to topological insulators (TIs). The TI gap is 94 meV for the Mo-decorated BlueP and 150~220 meV for the W-decorated BlueP. Our findings pave the way to engineer topological phases in the monolayer BlueP with transition-metal adatoms.
