摘要
The biphenylene network (BPN) is notable in recent fabrication efforts to design new 2D materials. The stability of its boron nitride counterpart, BN-BPN, has been confirmed through numerical investigations. In this study, we conducted a density functional theory (DFT) analysis to examine the mechanical, electronic, thermodynamic, and optical properties of two other group-III counterparts of BPN: gallium nitride (BPN-GaN) and aluminum nitride (BPN-AlN). Our findings reveal that the band gap values for BPN-GaN and BPN-AlN are 2.3 eV and 3.2 eV, respectively, at the HSE06 level. Phonon- and energy-formation calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations suggest that BPN-(Al,Ga)N has good structural and dynamic stabilities. BPN-GaN displayed negative phonon frequencies. However, results from AIMD simulations point to its structural integrity with no bond reconstructions at 1000 K. These materials exhibit noteworthy UV activity, promising prospects as UV collectors. The thermodynamic properties reveal that the heat capacity of both BPN-AlN and BPN-GaN increases with temperature, eventually reaching the Dulong–Petit limit at around 800 K. We also performed calculations to determine the electron- and hole-effective masses, charge carrier mobility, elastic stiffness constants, Young’s modulus, and Poisson ratio for both BPN-GaN and BPN-AlN, providing valuable insight into their electronic and mechanical properties.
