We calculate an electron-phonon scattering and intrinsic transport properties of black phosphorus monolayer using tight-binding and Boltzmann treatments as a function of temperature, carrier density, and electric field. The low-field mobility shows weak dependence on density and, at room temperature, falls in the range of 300 - 1000 cm^2/Vs in the armchair direction and 50 - 120 cm^2/Vs in the zig-zag direction with the anisotropy due to an effective mass difference. At high fields, drift velocity is linear with electric field up to 1 - 2 V/micron reaching values of 10^7 cm/s in the armchair direction, unless self-heating effects are included.

We theoretically calculate the phonon scattering limited electron mobility in extrinsic (i.e. gated or doped with a tunable and finite carrier density) 2D graphene layers as a function of temperature $(T)$ and carrier density $(n)$. We find a temperature dependent phonon-limited resistivity $rho_{ph}(T)$ to be linear in temperature for $Tagt 50 K$ with the room temperature intrinsic mobility reaching values above $10^5$ cm$^2/Vs$. We comment on the low-temperature Bloch-Gr{u}neisen behavior where $rho_{ph}(T) sim T^4$ for unscreened electron-phonon coupling.
Under which conditions do the electrical transport properties of one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and 2D graphene become equivalent? We have performed atomistic calculations of the phonon-limited electrical mobility in graphene and in a wide range of CNTs of different types to address this issue. The theoretical study is based on a tight-binding method and a force-constant model from which all possible electron-phonon couplings are computed. The electrical resistivity of graphene is found in very good agreement with experiments performed at high carrier density. A common methodology is applied to study the transition from 1D to 2D by considering CNTs with diameter up to 16 nm. It is found that the mobility in CNTs of increasing diameter converges to the same value, the mobility in graphene. This convergence is much faster at high temperature and high carrier density. For small-diameter CNTs, the mobility strongly depends on chirality, diameter, and existence of a bandgap.
We present the effect of different stacking orders on carrier transport properties of multi-layer black phosphorous. We consider three different stacking orders AAA, ABA and ACA, with increasing number of layers (from 2 to 6 layers). We employ a hierarchical approach in density functional theory (DFT), with structural simulations performed with Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and the bandstructure, carrier effective masses and optical properties evaluated with the Meta-Generalized Gradient Approximation (MGGA). The carrier transmission in the various black phosphorous sheets was carried out with the non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) approach. The results show that ACA stacking has the highest electron and hole transmission probabilities. The results show tunability for a wide range of band-gap, carrier effective masses and transmission with a great promise for lattice engineering (stacking order and layers) in black phosphorous.
We analyze the lineshape of the quasiparticle photoluminescence of monolayer and bilayer molybdenum ditelluride in temperature- and excitation intensity-dependent experiments. We confirm the existence of a negatively charged trion in the bilayer based on its emission characteristics and find hints for a coexistence of intra- and interlayer trions with a few meV splitting in energy. From the lineshape analysis of exciton and trion emission we extract values for exciton and trion deformation potentials as well as acoustical and optical phonon-limited mobilities in MoTe2, with the mobilities showing the highest values so far reported for transition metal dichalcogenides.
Two dimensional (2D) materials with a finite band gap and high carrier mobility are sought after materials from both fundamental and technological perspectives. In this paper, we present the results based on the particle swarm optimization method and density functional theory which predict three geometrically different phases of carbon phosphide (CP) monolayer consisted of sp2 hybridized C atoms and sp3 hybridized P atoms in hexagonal networks. Two of the phases, referred to as {alpha}-CP and b{eta}-CP with puckered and buckled surfaces, respectively are semiconducting with highly anisotropic electronic and mechanical properties. More remarkably, they have lightest electrons and holes among the known 2D semiconductors, yielding superior carrier mobility. The {gamma}-CP has a distorted hexagonal network and exhibits a semi-metallic behavior with Dirac cones. These theoretical findings suggest the binary CP monolayer to be yet unexplored 2D materials holding great promises for applications in high-performance electronics and optoelectronics.
