Electronic properties of few-layer phosphorene from first-principles calculations — •Bukyoung Jhun and Cheol-Hwan Park — Department of Physics and Astronomy, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Korea

Phosphorene, a recently synthesized two dimensional material, has attracted a wide attention due to its numerous extraordinary physical properties such as spatially anistropic electrical and thermal conductance[1], superconductivity[2], and electronic topological transition tunable by electric field[3]. Because of the extraordinary properties, it is considered useful in opto-elctronics and electronics. We studied the electronic properties of multi-layer phosphorene in various environments by means of density-functional theory calculations. We expect the results to be helpful in interpreting experiments on the material and in designing phosphorene-based devices.
