Anomalous Size Dependence of Optical Properties in Black Phosphorus Quantum Dots

TLDR
In this paper, the size-dependent electronic, optical absorption, and emission properties of black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) were systematically studied by employing time-dependent density functional theory calculations.
Abstract
Understanding electron transitions in black phosphorus nanostructures plays a crucial role in applications in electronics and optoelectronics. In this work, by employing time-dependent density functional theory calculations, we systematically study the size-dependent electronic, optical absorption, and emission properties of black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs). Both the electronic gap and the absorption gap follow an inversely proportional law to the diameter of BPQDs in conformity to the quantum confinement effect. In contrast, the emission gap exhibits anomalous size dependence in the range of 0.8–1.8 nm, which is blue-shifted with the increase of size. The anomaly in fact arises from the structure distortion induced by the excited-state relaxation, and it leads to a huge Stokes shift in small BPQDs.

Phosphorene: An Unexplored 2D Semiconductor with a High Hole Mobility

TL;DR: In this paper, the 2D counterpart of layered black phosphorus, which is called phosphorene, is introduced as an unexplored p-type semiconducting material and the authors find that the band gap is direct, depends on the number of layers and the in-layer strain, and significantly larger than the bulk value of 0.31-0.36 eV.
