What is Enhancing thermoelectric performance of 2D Janus ISbTe by strain engineering: A first principle study about?

Recent developments in the 2D materials laid emphasis on finding the materials with robust properties for variety of applications including the energy harvesting. The recent discovery of Janus monolayers with broken symmetry has opened up new options for engineering the properties of 2D layered materials. Present study focuses on enhancing thermoelectric properties of 2H-ISbTe 2D Janus monolayer. All the calculations have been performed using fully relaxed unit cell and employing the pseudo potential based quantum espresso code. Calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with previous literature reports. The lattice dynamics calculations predicts this monolayer can withstand a strain of up to 4% beyond which imaginary frequencies appear in the phonon dispersion curves. Computed electronic structure reveals that the monolayer is an indirect wide bandgap material and the bandgap decreases with tensile strain. Furthermore, the computed thermoelectric properties show that the studied monolayer has high Seebeck coefficient of ~ 300 {\mu}V/K and low thermal conductivity which yields reasonably high ZT of ~ 1.31 for a strain of 2% at 300 K with p-type doping. Therefore, our st
