Recently, a new type of two-dimensional layered material, i.e. C3N, has been fabricated by polymerization of 2,3-diaminophenazine and used to fabricate a field-effect transistor device with an on/off current ratio reaching 5.5E10 (Adv. Mater. 2017, 1605625). Here we have performed a comprehensive first-principles study mechanical and electronic properties of C3N and related derivatives. Ab inito molecular dynamics simulation shows that C3N monolayer can withstand high temperature up to 2000K. Besides high stability, C3N is predicted to be a superior stiff material with high Youngs modulus (1090.0 GPa), which is comparable or even higher than that of graphene (1057.7 GPa). By roll-up C3N nanosheet into the corresponding nanotube, an out-of-plane bending deformation is also investigated. The calculation indicates C3N nanosheet possesses a fascinating bending Poissons effect, namely, bending induced lateral contraction. Further investigation shows that most of the corresponding nanotubes also present high Youngs modulus and semiconducting properties. In addition, the electronic properties of few-layer C3N nanosheet is also investigated. It is predicated that C3N monolayer is an indirect semiconductor (1.09 eV) with strongly polar covalent bonds, while the multi-layered C3N possesses metallic properties with AD-stacking. Due to high stability, suitable band gap and superior mechanical strength, the C3N nanosheet will be an ideal candidate in high-strength nano-electronic device applications.

As a basic mechanical parameter, Poissons ratio ({ u}) measures the mechanical responses of solids against external loads. In rare cases, materials have a negative Poissons ratio (NPR), and present an interesting auxetic effect. That is, when a mater ial is stretched in one direction, it will expand in the perpendicular direction. To design modern nanoscale electromechanical devices with special functions, two dimensional (2D) auxetic materials are highly desirable. In this work, based on first principles calculations, we rediscover the previously proposed {delta}-phosphorene ({delta}-P) nanosheets [Jie Guan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 2014, 113, 046804] are good auxetic materials with a high NPR. The results show that the Youngs modulus and Poissons ratio of {delta}-P are all anisotropic. The NPR value along the grooved direction is up to -0.267, which is much higher than the recently reported 2D auxetic materials. The auxetic effect of {delta}-P originated from its puckered structure is robust and insensitive to the number of layers due to weak interlayer interactions. Moreover, {delta}-P possesses good flexibility because of its relatively small Youngs modulus and high critical crack strain. If {delta}-P can be synthesized, these extraordinary properties would endow it great potential in designing low dimensional electromechanical devices.

We propose a new concept of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac semiconductor which is characterized by the emergence of fourfold degenerate band crossings near the band edge and provide a generic approach to realize this novel semiconductor in the community of material science. Based on the first-principle calculations and symmetry analysis, we discover recently synthesised triple-layer (TL)-BiOS2 is such Dirac semiconductor that features Dirac cone at X/Y point, protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry. Due to sandwich-like structure, each Dirac fermion in TL-BiOS2 can be regarded as a combination of two Weyl fermions with opposite chiralities, degenerate in momentum-energy space but separated in real space. Such Dirac semiconductor carries layer-dependent helical spin textures that never been reported before. Moreover, novel topological phase transitions are flexibly achieved in TL-BiOS2: (i) an vertical electric field can drive it into Weyl semiconductor with switchable spin polarization direction, (ii) an extensive strain is able to generate ferroelectric polarization and actuate it into Weyl nodal ring around X point and into another type of four-fold degenerate point at Y point. Our work extends the Dirac fermion into semiconductor systems and provides a promising avenue to integrate spintronics and optoelectronics in topological materials.
Isolated oxygen impurities and fully oxidized structures of four stable two-dimensional (2D) SiS structures are investigated by {em ab initio} density functional calculations. Binding energies of oxygen impurities for all the four 2D SiS structures a re found larger than those for phosphorene, due to the lower electronegativity of Si atoms. The most stable configurations of isolated oxygen impurities for different 2D SiS structures are decided and the corresponding 2D structures with saturated oxidation (SiSO) are predicted. Among all the four fully oxidized structures, $alpha$-SiSO is demonstrated to be stable by phonon spectra calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Electronic structure calculations indicate that $alpha$-SiSO monolayer is semiconducting with a direct band gap of ${approx}2.28$~eV, which can be effectively tuned by in-layer strain. The value of band gap and thermodynamic stability are found depending sensitively on the saturation level of oxygen.
We compute the absolute Poissons ratio $ u$ and the bending rigidity exponent $eta$ of a free-standing two-dimensional crystalline membrane embedded into a space of large dimensionality $d = 2 + d_c$, $d_c gg 1$. We demonstrate that, in the regime of anomalous Hookes law, the absolute Poissons ratio approaches material independent value determined solely by the spatial dimensionality $d_c$: $ u = -1 +2/d_c-a/d_c^2+dots$ where $aapprox 1.76pm 0.02$. Also, we find the following expression for the exponent of the bending rigidity: $eta = 2/d_c+(73-68zeta(3))/(27 d_c^2)+dots$. These results cannot be captured by self-consistent screening approximation.
We present first-principles calculations of elastic properties of multilayered two-dimensional crystals such as graphene, h-BN and 2H-MoS2 which shows that their Poissons ratios along out-of-plane direction are negative, near zero and positive, respe ctively, spanning all possibilities for sign of the ratios. While the in-plane Poissons ratios are all positive regardless of their disparate electronic and structural properties, the characteristic interlayer interactions as well as layer stacking structures are shown to determine the sign of their out-of-plane ratios. Thorough investigation of elastic properties as a function of the number of layers for each system is also provided, highlighting their intertwined nature between elastic and electronic properties.
