In this paper, spintronic properties of a mono-layer GaTe under biaxial and uniaxial strain is investigated. Here, spin properties of two structures of GaTe, one with mirror symmetry and the other with inversion symmetry, is studied. We have also calculated the band structure of GaTe with and without spin-orbit coupling to find out the importance of spinorbit interaction (SOI) on its band structure. We find band gap can be modified by applying spin-orbit coupling in the presence of strain. We explore Mexican-hat dispersion for different structures and different strain. We find Mexican-hat can be tuned by strain however some cases shows any Mexican-hat. We calculate spinsplitting in conduction and valence band in the presence of strain where the structure with inversion symmetry doesn't show any splitting. We find in some cases, GaTe indicates Rashba dispersion that can be adjusted by strain. The amount of Rashba parameters may be in the order of other reported two-dimensional materials.

In this paper, electrical and electronic properties of strained mono-layer InTe for two structures, α, and β phases, is investigated. The band structure is obtained using density functional theory (DFT). The minimum energy and effective mass of the conduction band and second conduction band for different strains are calculated. A FET with using InTe as the channel material is investigated. Voltage-current characteristics of InTe FET is calculated and ION /IOF F ratio is obtained with respect to biaxial strain.PACS numbers:

In this paper, spin properties of monolayer MX (M=Ga, In and X=S, Se, Te) in the presence of strain are studied. Density functional theory is used to investigate spin properties. The strain changes modification of bandgap due to spin-orbit coupling, the results indicate the spin-orbit coupling has a higher effect in the compressive regime. Also, spin splitting in the conduction and valence bands respect to strain are compared for six materials. The location of conduction band minimum (CBM) imposed a type of spin properties. These materials with mirror symmetry can display the Rashba effect while M valley is located at CBM. Strain tunes the conduction band minimum in three valleys (K, M and Γ valleys) and determines which spin effect (spin splitting, Rashba splitting or no spin splitting) has occurred in each strain for every material. Lastly, the relation between the Rashba parameter and the atomic mass is explored and it is observed that there is a linear correlation between atomic mass and Rashba coefficient.

We introduce a new generation rule for local thresholding in scale-free networks based on the nodes' degree. The resulting networks are disassortative with a hierarchical structure. There is, however, a subnet of the nodes, which we call the active nodes, which is neither disassortative nor has such a structure. It is shown that networks with a wide range of cluster coefficients, ranging from very small to close to unity and with scaling exponent from 2.5 to 4 are generated by the new method, which mimic some important real-world networks.
