The electronic and thermal transport properties have been systematically investigated in monolayer C$_4$N$_3$H with first-principles calculations. The intrinsic thermal conductivity of monolayer C$_4$N$_3$H was calculated coupling with phonons Boltzmann transport equation. For monolayer C$_4$N$_3$H, the thermal conductivity (k{appa}) (175.74 and 157.90 W m-1K-1 with a and b-plane, respectively) is significantly lower than that of graphene (3500 Wm$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$) and C3N(380 Wm$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$). Moreover, it is more than the second time higher than C$_2$N (82.88 Wm$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$) at 300 K. Furthermore, the group velocities, relax time, anharmonicity, as well as the contribution from different phonon branches, were thoroughly discussed in detail. A comparison of the thermal transport characters among 2D structure for monolayer C$_4$N$_3$H, graphene, C$_2$N and C$_3$N has been discussed. This work highlights the essence of phonon transport in new monolayer material.

In a latest experimental advance, graphene-like and insulating BeO monolayer was successfully grown over silver surface by molecular beam epitaxy (ACS Nano 15(2021), 2497). Inspired by this accomplishment, in this work we conduct first-principles bas
ed simulations to explore the electronic, mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of graphene-like BeO, MgO and CaO monolayers. The considered nanosheets are found to show desirable thermal and dynamical stability. BeO monolayer is found to show remarkably high elastic modulus and tensile strength of 408 and 53.3 GPa, respectively. The electronic band gap of BeO, MgO and CaO monolayers are predicted to be 6.72, 4.79, and 3.80 eV, respectively, using the HSE06 functional. On the basis of iterative solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation, the room temperature lattice thermal conductivity of BeO, MgO and CaO monolayers are predicted to be 385, 64 and 15 W/mK, respectively. Our results reveal substantial decline in the electronic band gap, mechanical strength and thermal conductivity by increasing the weight of metal atoms. This work highlights outstandingly high thermal conductivity, carrier mobility and mechanical strength of insulating BeO nanosheets and suggest them as promising candidates to design strong and insulating components with high thermal conductivities.
We study the electronic and structural properties of substitutional impurities of graphenelike nanoporous materials C$_2$N, $tg$-, and $hg$-C$_3$N$_4$ by means of density functional theory calculations. We consider four types of impurities; boron sub
stitution on carbon sites (B(C)), carbon substitution on nitrogen sites (C(N)), nitrogen substitution on carbon sites (N(C)), and sulfur substitution on nitrogen sites (S(N)). From cohesive energy calculations, we find that the C(N) and B(C) substitutions are the most energetically favorable and induce small bond modifications in the vicinity of the impurity, while the S(N) induces strong lattice distortions. Though all of the studied impurities induce defect levels inside the band gap of these materials, their electronic properties are poles apart depending on the behavior of the impurity as an acceptor or a donor. It is also observed that acceptor (donor) wavefunctions are composed only of $sigma$ ($pi$) orbitals from the impurity itself and/or neighboring sites. Consequently, acceptor wavefunctions are directed towards the pores and donor wavefunctions are more extended throughout the neighboring atoms, a property that could further be explored to modify the interaction between these materials and adsorbates. Moreover, impurity properties display a strong site sensitivity and ground state binding energies ranging from $0.03$ to $1.13$ eV, thus offering an interesting route for tuning the optical properties of these materials. Finally, spin-polarized calculations reveal that all impurity configurations have a magnetic ground state that rises from the spin splitting of the impurity levels. In a few configurations, more than one impurity level can be found inside the gap and two of them could potentially be explored as two-level systems for single-photon emission, following similar proposals recently made on defect complexes on TMDCs.
Very recently, a new graphene-like crystalline, hole-free, 2D-single-layer carbon nitride 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
(Adv. Mater. 2017, 1605625). Heat dissipation plays a vital role in its practical applications, and therefore the thermal transport properties need to be explored urgently. In this paper, we perform first-principles calculations combined with phonon Boltzmann transport equation to investigate the phononic thermal transport properties of monolayer C3N, and meanwhile, a comparison with graphene is given. Our calculated intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity of C3N is 380 W/mK at room temperature, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of graphene (3550 W/mK at 300 K), but is greatly higher than many other typical 2D materials. The underlying mechanisms governing the thermal transport were thoroughly discussed and compared to graphene, including group velocities, phonon relax time, the contribution from phonon branches, phonon anharmonicity and size effect. The fundamental physics understood from this study may shed light on further studies of the newly fabricated 2D crystalline C3N sheets.
Searching for two-dimensional (2D) organic Dirac materials, which have more adaptable practical applications in comparing with inorganic ones, is of great significance and has been ongoing. However, only two kinds of these materials with low Fermi ve
locity have been discovered so far. Herein, we report the design of an organic monolayer with C$_4$N$_3$H stoichiometry which possesses fascinating structure and good stability in its free-standing state. More importantly, we demonstrate that this monolayer is a semimetal with anisotropic Dirac cones and very high Fermi velocity. This Fermi velocity is roughly one order of magnitude larger than that in 2D organic Dirac materials ever reported, and is comparable to that in graphene. The Dirac states in this monolayer arise from the extended $pi$-electron conjugation system formed by the overlapping 2emph{p}$_z$ orbitals of carbon and nitrogen atoms. Our finding opens a door for searching more 2D organic Dirac materials with high Fermi velocity.
The discovery of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) magnetic semiconductors has triggered enormous research interest recently. In this work, we use first-principles many-body perturbation theory to study a prototypical 2D ferromagnetic semiconducto
r, monolayer chromium tribromide (CrBr$_3$). With broken time-reversal symmetry, spin-orbit coupling, and excitonic effects included through the full-spinor $GW$ and $GW$ plus Bethe-Salpeter equation ($GW$-BSE) methods, we compute the frequency-dependent dielectric function tensor that governs the optical and magneto-optical properties. In addition, we provide a detailed theoretical formalism for simulating magnetic circular dichroism, magneto-optical Kerr effect, and Faraday effect, demonstrating the approach with monolayer CrBr$_3$. Due to reduced dielectric screening in 2D and localized nature of the Cr d orbitals, we find strong self-energy effects on the quasiparticle band structure of monolayer CrBr$_3$ that give a 3.8 eV indirect band gap. Also, excitonic effects dominate the low-energy optical and magneto-optical responses in monolayer CrBr$_3$ where a large exciton binding energy of 2.3 eV is found for the lowest bright exciton state with excitation energy at 1.5 eV. We further find that the magneto-optical signals demonstrate strong dependence on the excitation frequency and substrate refractive index. Our theoretical framework for modelling optical and magneto-optical effects could serve as a powerful theoretical tool for future study of optoelectronic and spintronics devices consisting of van der Waals 2D magnets.
