Flexible and Anisotropic Properties of Monolayer MX₂ (M = Tc and Re; X = S, Se)

Abstract

Flexible and anisotropic response of layered transition metal dichalcogenides MX 2 (M = Tc and Re; X = S, Se) is important for wearable and polarized optoelectronics. Herein, the elastic, electronic, and optical dielectric properties of these two-dimensional (2D) materials have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) with different van der Waals correction and Heyd−Scuseria−Ernzerhof hybrid functional. The Young's modulus of these materials is low, which indicates that they are favorable for the flexible optoelectronic devices. The band gaps fall in between 1.70 and 2.12 eV with the d states of transition metal atoms playing an important role in conduction and valence bands. In addition, the appearance of band nesting implies that there are strong light−matter interactions in these materials, indicating they are suitable for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications. Unlike the traditional 2D materials such as MoS 2 , the optical dielectric properties manifest highly in-plane anisotropic in the infrared and visible region, which is suitable for on-chip polarization manipulation with these materials. This work promotes the understanding of flexible and anisotropic response of these materials and their potential applications in new types of optoelectronic devices.

Implanting CNT Forest onto Carbon Nanosheets as Multifunctional Hosts for High‐Performance Lithium Metal Batteries

“…high surface energy, and strong π-π interaction force. [14] As shown in Figure S1 in the Supporting Information, the CSs obtained by vacuum filtration display seriously stacked structure with few available pores, losing the advantages of 2D nanosheets such as high surface area and large pore volume. To overcome this problem, a modified structure was designed and developed.…”

Rapid, Greener and Ultrasound Irradiated One‐Pot Synthesis of 4‐(Substituted‐1H‐Pyrazol‐4‐yl)Methylene)‐3‐Isopropylisoxazol‐5(4H)‐ones and Their In Vitro Anticancer Activity

“…[1] Among them isoxazole one of the five-member heterocyclic compounds in which nitrogen and oxygen both heteroatoms are present at the adjacent position. Isoxazole derivatives have been found to be associated with diverse biological activities [2] such as selective agonists in human cloned dopamine D4 receptors, [3] exhibit GABA receptor antagonist, [4] analgesic, [5] antiinflammatory, [6] antimicrobial, [7] antifungal, [8] COX-2 inhibitory, [9] antitumor, [10] anti-HIV, [11] anti-cancer activity, [12] antitryanosomal activity [13] and anti-leishmanial activities. [14] The marketed drugs of isoxazole such as Leflunomide, Valedecoxib, Acetylsulfisoxazole, Drazoxol, Zonisamide, Gabodaxol, Cycloserine, Ibotenic acid, Sulfamethoxazole and Isocarboxazid have great medicinal values.…”

Regioselective Solid‐Phase Synthesis of Peptide Analogues Containing 3,4‐ or 3,5‐Disubstituted Isoxazole as s‐cis or s‐trans Peptide Bond Mimics

“…Heterocyclic compounds are an important class of molecules that have been developed for pharmaceutical applications, [1][2][3] which have a large domain of applications, including antibacterial, [4][5][6] antiviral, [7,8] Anti-fungal, [9,10] Anti-inflammatory, [11,12] and anticancer [13][14][15] applications. The development of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions revolutionised the synthesis of five-membered heteroaromatic rings, contributing to easier and more versatile access to new compounds.…”
