摘要:

与配位相关的二维(2D)结构相变是具有结构简并性的二维材料的一个迷人且新颖的方面。然而,这些转变仍然缺乏统一的理论解释,并且通过{ \em ab-initio}分子动力学和2D离散时钟模型建立了以下点:IV族单硫族化合物(GeSe,SnSe,SnTe,.)单层具有四个简并结构基态,并且在有限温度下发生从三重配位到五重配位结构的2D相变。在无应变的样品上,2D相变需要晶格参数自由演变。一个基本的能量尺度允许理解这种转变。转变温度$T_c$和面内本征电偶极子的取向可以通过适度的单轴拉伸应变来控制,并且修改的离散时钟模型描述了应变样品上的转变。这些结果建立了一个一般的基本理论背景,以了解结构相变在二维材料及其对材料性能的影响。

英文摘要:

Coordination-related, two-dimensional (2D) structural phase transitions are a fascinating and novel facet of two-dimensional materials with structural degeneracies. Nevertheless, a unified theoretical account of these transitions remains absent, and the following points are established through {\em ab-initio} molecular dynamics and 2D discrete clock models here: Group-IV monochalcogenide (GeSe, SnSe, SnTe, ...) monolayers have four degenerate structural ground states, and a 2D phase transition from a three-fold coordinated onto a five-fold coordinated structure takes place at finite temperature. On unstrained samples, the 2D phase transition requires lattice parameters to freely evolve. A fundamental energy scale permits understanding this transition. The transition temperature $T_c$ and the orientation of the in-plane intrinsic electric dipole can be controlled by moderate uniaxial tensile strain, and a modified discrete clock model describes the transition on strained samples. These results establish a general underlying theoretical background to understand structural phase transitions in 2D materials and their effects on material properties.
