- In this study, we have examined the geometrical, electronic and optical properties of penta-PdX2 (X = As,P) using density functional calculation. The electronic structure calculations show that the penta-PdAs2 and PdP2 are semiconductors with direct band gaps of 0.34 eV and 0.30 eV, respectively. The dynamical stability of penta-PdX2 monolayer is proved by the absence of imaginary frequencies in the phonon dispersion curve. By applying a biaxial strain (for PdAs2: - 6% to + 6% and for PdP2: - 5.5% to + 5.5%) on the monolayer, the effective mass and band edges are tuned effectively. Remarkably, the range of penta-PdX2 carrier mobility was obtained in an extremely high order of 10(5) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for holes and 10(4) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for electrons. The optical properties of penta-PdX2 were also strained-tunable and exhibit outstanding absorption of infrared, visible and ultraviolet light. More importantly, the band edges alignment has tunable with implemented external electric field (V/angstrom) along the z-direction. Our work would stimulate the fabrication of penta-PdX2 monolayer, and it is envisioned that it is an appropriate future candidate for optoelectronic and ultra-fast electronic applications.
