Title: Phonon and electron transport in Janus monolayers based on InSe
(Submitted on 30 Mar 2019 (v1), last revised 2 May 2019 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We systematically investigated the phonon and electron transport properties of monolayer InSe and its Janus derivatives including monolayer In2SSe and In2SeTe by first-principles calculations. The breaking of mirror symmetry produce a distinguishable A1 peak in the Raman spectra of monolayer In2SSe and In2SeTe. The room-temperature thermal conductivity (\k{appa}) of monolayer InSe, In2SSe and In2SeTe is 44.6, 46.9, and 29.9 W/(m K), respectively. There is a competition effect between atomic mass, phonon group velocity and phonon lifetime. The \k{appa} can be further effectively modulated by sample size for the purpose of thermoelectric applications. Meanwhile, monolayer In2SeTe exhibits a direct band and higher electron mobility than that of monolayer InSe, due to the smaller electron effective mass caused by tensile strain on the Se side. These results indicate that 2D Janus group-III chalcogenides can provide a platform to design the new electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices.
