Two-dimensional materials play a vital role in next-generation microelectronics, optoelectronics and flexible electronics due to their novel physical properties caused by quantum-confinement effects. In this work, we investigate the stability and the possibility of exfoliation of monolayer Bi2Se3−xTex (x = 0, 1, 2) using first-principles calculations. Our calculations show that these materials are indirect bandgap semiconductors, and the elastic modulus is smaller than other conventional materials, which indicates better flexibility. We find that the electron mobility of monolayer Bi2SeTe2 along the armchair direction is higher than that of black phosphorene, reaching 2708 cm2 V−1 s−1, and the electron mobility of monolayer Bi2Se3 along the zigzag direction is about 24 times larger than the hole mobility. The remarkable electron mobilities and highly anisotropic properties of these new monolayers pave the way for future applications in high-speed (opto)electronic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
