Face-degree-based topological descriptors of germanium phosphide

Abstract

In graph theory, topological indices are numerical metrics that give information about a graph’s structural traits. The face index is one such topological index that describes planar networks. Since the discovery of graphene, the genealogy of two-dimensional 2D crystals has expanded and currently contains a large variety that has all logical electrical properties required for nano electronics. Nanotechnology benefits from the use of materials that resemble Dirac, such as silicon, graphite, semiconductors, and germanene, as well as TMDC (phosporene), a transition metal dichalcogenide. In contrast with standard topological descriptors, which are numerical values utilised to characterise molecular structures, the face index presents a potentially more comprehensive method for obtaining structural details. In investigations involving quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR), this may result in more precise predictions. We calculated the recently created face index of Germanium Phosphide (GeP) and its many shapes, including triangle, rhombus, hourglass, and concentric circles.
