According to our calculations, SnSi and SnGe are good 2D piezoelectric materials with large piezoelectric coefficients. The values of d11d11 of SnSi and SnGe are 5.04pm/V and 5.42pm/V, respectively, which are much larger than 2D MoS2 (3.6pm/V) and are comparable with some frequently used bulk materials (e.g., wurtzite AlN 5.1pm/V). Charge transfer is calculated by the L wdin analysis and we find that the piezoelectric coefficients (d11d11 and d31) are highly dependent on the polarizabilities of the anions and cations in group-IV monolayers.展开更多
