Computational insights into structural, electronic, and optical properties of Janus GeSO monolayer

Although O is an element of chalcogen group, the study of two-dimensional (2D) O-based Janus dichalcogenides/monochalcogenides, especially their 1T-phase, has not been given sufficient attention. In this work, we systematically investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of 1T Janus GeSO monolayer by using the density functional theory. Via the analysis of phonon spectrum and evaluation of elastic constants, the GeSO monolayer...
