Group IV monochalcogenides M X (M = Ge, Sn; X = S, Se)-semiconductor isostructure to black phosphorene-have recently emerged as promising two-dimensional materials for ultrathin-film photovoltaic applications owing to the fascinating electronic and optical properties. Herein, using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate the orbital contribution electronic properties, angular and strain dependence on the carrier effective masses of monolayer M X . Based on analysis on the orbital-projected band structure, the VBMs are found to be dominantly contributed from the p z orbital of X atom, while the CBM is mainly dominated by p x or p y orbital of M atom. 2D SnS has the largest anisotropy ratio due to the lacking of s orbital contribution which increases the anisotropy. Moreover, the electron/hole effective masses along the x direction have the steeper tendency of increase under the uniaxial tensile strain compared to those along y direction.

AbstractUtilizing a two-dimensional material in an electronic device as channel layer inevitably involves the formation of contacts with metallic electrodes. As these contacts can dramatically affect the behavior of the device, we study the electronic properties of monolayer Janus MoSSe in contact with different metallic electrodes by first-principles calculations, focusing on the differences in the characteristics of contacts with the two sides of MoSSe. In particular, we demonstrate that the Fermi level pinning is different for the two sides of MoSSe, with the magnitude resembling that of MoS2 or MoSe2, while both sides can form Ohmic contacts with common electrode materials without any further adaptation, which is an outstanding advantage over MoS2 and MoSe2.
