Strain-Engineering the Anisotropic Electrical Conductance of Few-Layer Black Phosphorus

Strain-Engineering the Anisotropic Electrical Conductance of Few-Layer Black Phosphorus

Newly fabricated few-layer black phosphorus and its monolayer structure, phosphorene, are expected to be promising for electronic and optical applications because of their finite direct band gaps and sizable but anisotropic electronic mobility. By first-principles simulations, we show that this unique anisotropic free-carrier mobility can be controlled by using simple …
