Abstract
Engineering the surface morphology is an effective way to obtain specific functionalities in applications of smart surfaces. Developing two-dimensional (2D) smart materials, which can undergo morphology changes under appropriate external stimuli, is a promising route to pursue for smart-surface design. In the work presented here, using density-functional-theory calculations, we systematically study the thermodynamic stability, crystal structure, and piezoelectric properties of black phosphorene (black P) doped with metallic atoms on one side with different concentrations. Particularly, Li-doped black P (P4Li2) has a d31 value of 6.28 pm/V, which is at least 4 times larger than that of any ot..
