A honeycomb-like monolayer of HfO2 and the calculation of static dielectric constant eliminating the effect of vacuum spacing
Literature Information
Junhui Weng, Shang-Peng Gao
A novel dielectric material of monolayer 1T-HfO2 has been investigated using first-principles calculations. The stability of 1T-HfO2 has been proved by both phonon dispersions and ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, although its 2H structural counterpart is dynamically unstable. 1T-HfO2 monolayer can be cleaved from the (111) facet of cubic HfO2. It is found that 1T-HfO2 has a large band gap of 6.73 eV, exceeding the band gaps of h-BN (5.97 eV) and bulk HfO2 (5.7 eV). From the microscopic perspective of dielectric polarization, we provide an explanation for the dependence of the dielectric constant directly calculated from the supercell of a two-dimensional (2D) system on the variable vacuum spacing, and we thus obtain a rational method for accurately evaluating the dielectric constants of 2D materials based on the calculated value obtained from a supercell to meet periodic conditions. Our derivation can be verified by the data fitting of a series of calculations with different vacuum spacings. The static dielectric constants of 1T-HfO2 along the in-plane and out-of-plane directions are 27.35 and 4.80, respectively, higher than those of monolayer h-BN. The large band gap and high dielectric constant make 1T-HfO2 a promising candidate as a dielectric layer in 2D field-effect transistors and heterojunctions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
