On the atomic structure of two-dimensional materials with Janus structures
Literature Information
The discrepancy between the bright theoretical projections for two-dimensional (2D) Janus structures and the lack of experimental realisation of these structures motivated us to study the effect of structural disorder on the stability of MoSSe, SnSSe, PtSSe, In2SSe and GaInSe2. The calculation results demonstrate that the difference between metal–sulfur and metal–selenium bonds makes Janus structures frustrated and less energetically favourable than less ordered allotropes of the same compounds. This result explains the difficulties encountered in the experimental fabrication of these materials. In the bulk, there is an additional contribution to the total energy from dipole–dipole interactions between layers with a Janus structure that can overcome the energetic cost of structural frustration in layers for compounds with sufficiently large dipole moments. However, the entropic contribution to the free energy decreases the favourability of the ordered Janus structure. The calculation results are used to make recommendations to enable the discovery and synthesis of 2D materials with Janus structures.

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.
