Phase stability and interlayer interaction of blue phosphorene

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 2018
In this work, we study the interlayer interactions between sheets of blue phosphorus with quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. We find that as previously observed in black phosphorus, interlayer binding of blue phosphorus cannot be described by van der Waals (vdW) interactions alone within the density functional theory framework. Specifically, while some

Strain-tunable charge carrier mobility of atomically thin phosphorus allotropes

open access: yes, 2018
We explore the impact of strain on charge carrier mobility of monolayer $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ and $\delta$-P, the four well known atomically thin allotropes of phosphorus, using density functional theory.

Suppressing Metal–Molecule Charge Transfer With a Phosphorus Interlayer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 8, 21 April 2026.
Phosphorus forms stable reconstructions with remarkable properties on various metal substrates. Here, using a spectroscopic approach, its role as an effective buffer layer on Cu(110) is demonstrated, preventing charge transfer to adsorbed Zn‐tetraphenylporphyrins (ZnTPP).

Role of Interlayer Coupling on the Evolution of Band Edges in Few-Layer Phosphorene

open access: yes, 2016
Using first-principles calculations, we have investigated the evolution of band-edges in few-layer phosphorene as a function of the number of P layers. Our results predict that monolayer phosphorene is an indirect band gap semiconductor and its valence ...
