Abstract

In this work, Janus two-dimensional MSi₂X₂Y₂ (M = Mo and W, X, Y=N, P and As) monolayers were constructed based on monolayer MoSi₂N₄ and WSi₂N₄. The phonon dispersion spectrums calculated by first principles indicated that they have high stability. The MSi₂N₂P₂ and MSi₂P₂As₂ monolayers with the bandgap (0.77 eV–1.19 eV) are indirect and direct semiconductors, respectively. They show big in-plane piezoelectric coefficients and considerable out-of-plane piezoelectric coefficients due to Janus structures. Therefore, MSi₂N₂P₂ and MSi₂P₂As₂ have large potential applications in the field of flexible piezoelectric devices such as energy collector, sensor, electronic skin and so on.
