Two-dimensional pentagonal CrX (X = S, Se or Te) monolayers: antiferromagnetic semiconductors for spintronics and photocatalysts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two dimensional (2D) materials with hexagonal building blocks have received tremendous interest in recent years and show promise as nanoscale devices for versatile applications. Herein, we propose a new family of 2D pentagonal CrX (X = S, Se or Te) monolayers (penta-CrX) for applications in electronics, spintronics and photocatalysis. We find that the 2D penta-CrX monolayers are thermally, structurally and mechanically stable. The penta-CrX monolayers are antiferromagnetic and semiconducting. We show that the magnetism is attributed to the super-exchange induced by the ionic interactions between the Cr and X atoms and can be enhanced upon applying tension. We further show that the penta-CrS and penta-CrSe monolayers show good redox potentials versus a normal hydrogen electrode, and their band gaps are comparable to the energy of a photon in the visible light region, indicating their capability of maximal utilization of solar energy for water splitting. With intrinsic semiconducting and controllable magnetic properties, the proposed penta-CrX monolayers may hold promise as flexible spintronics and photocatalysts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
