Abstract
This study employed density functional theory to discover a new family of 48 two-dimensional Janus monolayers with the formula MXY, where M stands for transition metals (Cr, Mo, or W), X represents a group V element (P, As, Sb, or Bi), and Y denotes a halide (F, Cl, Br, or I). The cohesive energy and phonon dispersion calculations show that most of these materials are energetically and dynamically stable. Subsequently, the thorough investigation into the electrical structure allows the classification of these monolayers as metals (CrPI and WPI) or semiconductors with narrow band gaps ranging from 0.69 to 2.15 eV. Meanwhile, the MoSbBr, MoSbI, and WBiCl monolayers are defined to be able to function as photocatalysts in the water splitting process, and the CrAsCl monolayer exhibits significant potential for valleytronic applications due to its intrinsic valence band splitting of about 90 meV. Finally, significant Rashba splitting was observed near the Γ point in the valence band of Janus MXY monolayers, where the growth in atomic weight (W > Mo > Cr and Bi > Sb > As > P) corresponds to a greater spin-orbit coupling effect on the Rashba parameter. Their Rashba values are comparable to those ofother well-known 2D materials, indicating great potential for spintronic applications. Our findings not only present a broad range of 2D materials, but also highlight their potential for next-generation electrical, photonic, and catalytic technologies.

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 it
