By calculating Gr\\\"uneisen parameters, we evaluate the frequency shift of Raman/infrared active modes via symmetric biaxial strain. We also study an inducing semiconductor-metal transition, the gap size, and effective mass of carriers in various strain configurations. Furthermore, we unfold the emergence of a peculiar Dirac-shaped dispersion for specific strain conditions, including the zigzag-oriented tensile strain. The observed linear energy spectrum has distinct velocities corresponding to each of its linear branches and is limited to the $\\Gamma-X$ direction in the first Brillouin zone.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-29T12:26:31.000Z", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-03-25T14:42:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.22.-f", "74.25.Kc", "77.80.bn", "71.15.Mb" ], "keywords": [ "mechanical properties", "phosphorene", "modulation", "symmetric biaxial strain", "specific strain conditions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2015, "month": "Mar", "volume": 91, "number": 11, "pages": 115412 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015PhRvB..91k5412E" } } }
