Without a doubt, the impact of the discovery of 2D systems such as graphene has led to both theoretical and experimental investigations of a large number of materials such as Silicene, Borene, Arsenene, Phosphorene, just to mention some of the most emblematic ones, but other materials and its heterostructures are also of interest. From this point of view, in this work we present the band structure, density of states as well as the imaginary part of the dielectric function of a 2D GaAs system, by means of a density functional theory implementation. The aim of this study is to investigate the basic physical properties for a freestanding 2D GaAs sheet, as well as the effect of Si substitutional atoms, since it has an amphoteric nature in the GaAs, which means that depending on which atom is substituted, this can be an n- or p-type impurity atom. We report, as expected, that the levels do indeed appear near the conduction band (or valence) if the impurity is n-type (or p-type), respectively. Also the density of states due to the impurity is modified as well as the imaginary part of the dielectric function

“…Nano-scale systems have drawn enormous attention from the scientic community in order to develop new materials for rapid advances in technology. [1][2][3][4] In this regard, the successful exfoliation of graphene has stimulated extensive investigations in the eld of two-dimensional (2D) materials. In particular, graphene holds exclusive properties including high carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, high surface/volume ratio, 97.2% transparency, and single molecule adsorption.…”
Controlling the electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials is a key step to make new multifunctional candidates for practical applications. In this work, defects and doping with transition...
“…The structural, electronic and magnetic properties are explored through size, while we control magnetism. In the present study, the characteristics are addressed by the substitution of In in place of Ga [16][17][18].…”
The electronic, mechanical and transport properties of the In substitution in GaAs are investigated by the TB-mBJ potential, BoltzTraP code and Charpin tensor matrix analysis using Wien2k code. The formation energies of the alloys Ga1−xInxAs (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0) confirm that they are thermodynamically favorable. The directional symmetry changes when increasing the In concentration and reduces the bandgap from 1.55 eV (GaAs) to 0.57 eV (InAs), as well as reducing the electrical conductivity and increasing the Seebeck coefficient. The thermoelectric performance is depicted by the power factor without including lattice vibration. The elastic properties’ analysis shows mechanical stability, and elastic moduli decrease with an increasing In in GaAs, which converts the brittle nature to ductile. The Debye temperature, hardness and thermal conductivity decrease, thus, increasing their importance for device fabrications.
