The monolayer Gallium sulfide (GaS) was demonstrated as a promising two-dimensional semiconductor material with considerable band gaps. The present work investigates the band gap modulation of GaS monolayer under biaxial or uniaxial strain by using Density functional theory calculation. We found that GaS monolayer shows an indirect band gap that limits its optical applications. The results show that GaS monolayer has a sizable band gap. The uniaxial strain shifts band gap from indirect to direct in Gallium monochalcogenides (GaS). This behavior, allowing applications such as electroluminescent devices and laser. The detailed reasons for the band gap modulation are also discussed by analyzing the projected density of states (PDOS). It indicates that due to the role of p$_y$ orbital through uniaxial strain become more significant than others near the Fermi level. The indirect to direct band gap transition happen at $varepsilon$=-10y$%$. Moreover, by investigating the strain energy and transverse response of structures under uniaxial strain, we show that the GaS monolayer has the Poissons ratio of 0.23 and 0.24 in the zigzag (x) and armchair (y) directions, respectively. Thus, we conclude that the isotropic nature of mechanical properties under strain.

Structural and electronic properties of hypothetical zinc blende Tl(x)Ga(1-x)N alloys have been investigated from first principles. The structural relaxation, preformed within the LDA approach, leads to a linear dependence of the lattice parameter a
on the Tl content x. In turn, band structures obtained by MBJLDA calculations are significantly different from the corresponding LDA results. The decrease of the band-gap in Tl-doped GaN materials (for x<0.25) is predicted to be a linear function of x, i.e. 0.08 eV per atomic % of thallium. The semimetallic character is expected for materials with x>0.5. The obtained spin-orbit coupling driven splitting between the heavy-hole and split-off band at the Gamma point of the Brillouin zone in Tl(x)Ga(1-x)N systems is significantly weaker when compared to that of Tl-doped InN materials.
We demonstrate the crossover from indirect- to direct band gap in tensile-strained germanium by temperature-dependent photoluminescence. The samples are strained microbridges that enhance a biaxial strain of 0.16% up to 3.6% uniaxial tensile strain.
Cooling the bridges to 20 K increases the uniaxial strain up to a maximum of 5.4%. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence reveals the crossover to a fundamental direct band gap to occur between 4.0% and 4.5%. Our data are in good agreement with new theoretical computations that predict a strong bowing of the band parameters with strain.
Here we report two-dimensional (2D) single-crystalline holey-graphyne (HGY) created an interfacial two-solvent system through a Castro-Stephens coupling reaction from 1,3,5-tribromo-2,4,6-triethynylbenzene. HGY is a new type of 2D carbon allotrope wh
ose structure is comprised of a pattern of six-vertex and eight-vertex rings. The carbon-carbon 2D network of HGY is alternately linked between benzene rings and sp (carbon-carbon triple bond) bonding. The ratio of the sp over sp2 bonding is 50%. It is confirmed that HGY is stable by DFT calculation. The vibrational, optic, and electric properties of HGY are investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is a p-type semiconductor that embraces a natural direct band gap (~ 1.0 eV) with high hole mobility and electron mobility at room temperature. This report is expected to help develop a new types of carbon-based semiconductor devices with high mobility.
Femtosecond X-ray irradiation of solids excites energetic photoelectrons that thermalize on a timescale of a few hundred femtoseconds. The thermalized electrons exchange energy with the lattice and heat it up. Experiments with X-ray free-electron las
ers have unveiled so far the details of the electronic thermalization. In this work we show that the data on transient optical reflectivity measured in GaAs irradiated with femtosecond X-ray pulses can be used to follow electron-lattice relaxation up to a few tens of picoseconds. With a dedicated theoretical framework, we explain the so far unexplained reflectivity overshooting as a result of band-gap shrinking. We also obtain predictions for a timescale of electron-lattice thermalization, initiated by conduction band electrons in the temperature regime of a few eVs. The conduction and valence band carriers were then strongly non-isothermal. The presented scheme is of general applicability and can stimulate further studies of relaxation within X-ray excited narrow band-gap semiconductors.
We report the compositional dependence of the electronic band structure for a range of III-V alloys. Density functional theory with the PBE functional is insufficient to mimic the electronic gap energies at different symmetry points of the Brillouin
zone. The HSE hybrid functional with screened exchange accurately reproduces the experimental band gaps and, more importantly, the alloy concentration of the direct-indirect gap crossovers for the III-V alloys studied here: AlGaAs, InAlAs, AlInP, InGaP, and GaAsP.
