Monolayer materials are promising material in applications, such as possess some layers with sturdy in-plane bonds. These materials represents two-dimensional (2D) materials which are possess a vertical weak Van der Waals (VdW) interactions sandwiched among the neighboring sheets. These structures of layers offer the chance to be split to free atomic layers. So new class material with two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides which includes PtS2 (Se2) have unique geometric structural, electronic and optical properties are studied. It has attracted the attention of many researchers for its extensive applications in (catalysis, sensing, electronics, and optoelectronics devices). It has been disclosed from the outcomes that these monolayers are dynamically stable according to the phonon calculations. Also, the direct band gaps located at K point for MoS2 and MoSe2 are 1.67 eV and 1.484 eV and for PtS2 and PtSe2 located between Γ-M points are 1.887 and 1.66, respectively. Also, the PtS2 have indirect band gap of about 1.775 eV situated at KΓ- ΓM and for PtSe2 is 1.401 eV at Γ- ΓM path. The results show that the maximum absorption coefficients are between 14×104 and 16.4×104 cm-1 for PtS2 and MoSe2, respectively. Besides, the maximum conductivities are between 2.09×101 and 3.65×1015 1/s for PtSe2 and MoS2, and the major values Likewise, the optical properties determined over rang energy 0.30 eV. The work function is equal 6.197eV for PtS2 and 5.628eV for PtSe2. It has been shown by studying photon dispersion of both monolayers that it is stable because it does not contain imaginary frequencies.

Although meta-generalized-gradient approximations (meta-GGAs) are believed potentially the most accurate among the efficient first-principles calculations, the performance has not been accessed on the nonlinear mechanical properties of two-dimensional nanomaterials. Graphene, like two-dimensional silicon carbide g-SiC, has a wide direct band-gap with applications in high-power electronics and solar energy. Taken g-SiC as a paradigm, we have investigated the performance of meta-GGA functionals on the nonlinear mechanical properties under large strains, both compressive and tensile, along three deformation modes using Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed Semilocal Density Functional (SCAN) as an example. A close comparison suggests that the nonlinear mechanics predicted from SCAN are very similar to that of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) formulated functional, a standard Density Functional Theory (DFT) functional. The improvement from SCAN calculation over PBE calculation is minor, despite the considerable increase of computing demand. This study could be helpful in selection of density functionals in simulations and modeling of mechanics of materials.

AbstractTrends in the behavior of band gaps in short-period superlattices (SLs) composed of CdO and MgO layers were analyzed experimentally and theoretically for several thicknesses of CdO sublayers. The optical properties of the SLs were investigated by means of transmittance measurements at room temperature in the wavelength range 200–700 nm. The direct band gap of {CdO/MgO} SLs were tuned from 2.6 to 6 eV by varying the thickness of CdO from 1 to 12 monolayers while maintaining the same MgO layer thickness of 4 monolayers. Obtained values of direct and indirect band gaps are higher than those theoretically calculated by an ab initio method, but follow the same trend. X-ray measurements confirmed the presence of a rock salt structure in the SLs. Two oriented structures (111 and 100) grown on c- and r-oriented sapphire substrates were obtained. The measured lattice parameters increase with CdO layer thickness, and the experimental data are in agreement with the calculated results. This new kind of SL structure may be suitable for use in visible, UV and deep UV optoelectronics, especially because the energy gap can be precisely controlled over a wide range by modulating the sublayer thickness in the superlattices.
