| الوصف: | Recently-synthesised MoSi$_2$N$_4$ is the first septuple layer two-dimensional material, which doesn't naturally occurs as a layered crystal, and has been obtained with CVD growth. It can be considered as MoN$_2$ crystal (with a crystal structure of MoS2) intercalating Si2N2 two-dimensional layer (with the structure similar to InSe). Such classification gave rise to the understanding of the electronic properties of the material, but also to the prediction of other members of the family (many dozens of them) as well as to the way to classify those. Whereas the originally-synthesised MoSi$_2$N$_4$ is a semiconductor, some of the members of the family are also metallic and some even demonstrate magnetic properties. Interestingly, the room-temperature mobility predicted for such crystals can be as high few thousands cm$^2$/V*s (hole mobility typically higher than electron) with some record cases as high as $5\times 10^4$ cm$^2$/V*s, making these materials strong contenders for future electronic applications. The major interest towards these materials is coming from the septuple layer structure, which allows multiple crystal phases, but also complex compositions, in particular those with broken mirror-reflection symmetry against the layer of metal atoms. |
