Electronic, Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Carbon and Boron Nitride Holey Graphyne Monolayers.

ABSTRACT: In a recent experimental accomplishment, a two-dimensional holey graphyne semiconducting nanosheet with unusual annulative π-extension has been fabricated. Motivated by the aforementioned advance, herein we theoretically explore the electronic, dynamical stability, thermal and mechanical properties of carbon (C) and boron nitride (BN) holey graphyne (HGY) monolayers. Density functional theory (DFT) results reveal that while the C-HGY monolayer shows an appealing direct gap of 1.00 (0.50) eV according to the HSE06(PBE) functional, the BNHGY monolayer is an indirect insulator with large band gaps of 5.58 (4.20) eV. Furthermore, the elastic modulus (ultimate tensile strength) values of the single-layer C- and BN-HGY are predicted to be 127(41) and 105(29) GPa, respectively. The phononic and t
