Abstract

In this work, Janus monolayers are predicted for a new 2D MA<sub>2</sub>Z<sub>4</sub> family by means of first-principles calculations. The predicted MSiGeN<sub>4</sub> (M = Mo and W) monolayers exhibit dynamic, thermodynamic and mechanical stability, and they are indirect band-gap semiconductors.
