MoSi 2 N 4 single-layer: a novel two-dimensional material with outstanding mechanical, thermal, electronic and optical properties

Abstract Very recently, the 2D form of MoSi 2 N 4 has been successfully fabricated (Hong et al 2020 Science 369 670). Motivated by these recent experimental results, we investigate the structural, mechanical, thermal, electronic and optical properties of the MoSi 2 N 4 monolayer. The mechanical stud... View More
