Hydrogenation can open the band gap of 2D tetragonal silicene, α-SiH is semiconductors with a direct band gap of 2.436 eV whereas β-SiH is indirect band gap of 2.286 eV. The band gap of α-SiH, β-SiH and γ-SiH can be modulated via biaxial strain.

This paper constructs a new type of two-dimensional graphene-like Janus GaInSTe monolayer and systematically investigates its structural and electronic properties as well as the effect of external electric field using first-principles calculations. In the ground state, Janus GaInSTe monolayer is dynamically stable with no imaginary frequencies in its phonon spectrum and possesses a direct band gap semiconductor. The band gap of Janus GaInSTe monolayer can be tuned by applying an electric field, which leads the different transitions from semiconductor to metal, and from indirect to direct band gap. These findings show a great potential application of Janus GaInSTe material for designing next-generation devices.

The optical absorption spectra of blended poly (N-carbazole) (PVK) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in various compositions are investigated. A doctor blade technique was used to coat the blended polymer on a quartz substrate. The electronic parameters such as absorption edge (Ee), allowed direct band gap (Ed), allowed indirect band gap (Ei), Urbach edge (Eu) and steepness parameter (γ) were calculated using Tauc/Davis-Mott Model. The results reveal that the Ee, Ed and Ei increase with increasing of PVP ratio. There also have variation changing in Urbach energy and steepness parameter.
