Abstract

Irida-graphyne (IGY), a sheet composed of carbon atoms with sp and sp2 hybridization, is offered and compared to irida-graphene (IG). The electronic structure and optical characteristic of IGY are investigated by density functional theory. The thermal and dynamic stabilities of IGY are confirmed by cohesive energy, ab initio molecular dynamics simulation, and phonon dispersion. The results indicated that IGY is metal and exhibits strong anisotropy photoresponse as well as IG to incident light with parallel and perpendicular polarizations. The high dielectric constants and optical absorption are obtained. As a result, these sheets can be used in energy storage systems, and display broad absorption spectra from infrared to ultraviolet region. The reflection and transmission constates indicated that IG and IGY are transparent, particularly in the high-energy region. Hence, the electronic and optical properties of IG and IGY support the idea that they could be used in next-generation optoelectronic devices.
