Strain engineering band gap, effective mass and anisotropic Dirac-like cone in monolayer arsenene

The electronic properties of two-dimensional puckered arsenene have been investigated using first-principles calculations. The effective mass of electrons exhibits highly anisotropic dispersion in intrinsic puckered arsenene. Futhermore, we find that out-of-plane strain is effective in tuning the ba...
