bx (x= p, as, sb) effect of electric field.

We conduct a systematic search for materials in the Group III-V monolayers fam-ily under the effect of electric field. The methods of electric field engineering are favorable tool to improve the electronic properties of the material. Our calcula-tions of BX (X=P, As, Sb) shows that, the bandgap of BX (X=P, As, Sb) underno electric field is direct bandgap nature and suitable for electronic devices. Weshow that an external electric field can be applied to tune the band gap for various applications. Furthermore, we investigate structural, electronic, optical and ther-moelectric properties of BP, BAs and BSb monolayers under the applied external electric field using first principles calculations based on the pseudo-potential plane waves method. Our results show that energy bandgap decreases when intensity of electric field increases. Even at small intensity of 0.1 V/ Š, transition from semiconductor to metallic nature is detected for BP, BAs and BSb monolayers. In addition, our theoretical calculation for imaginary part of dielectric function ε 2 (ω) under effect of electric field shows that the liner optical response of BP, BAs and BSb monolayers is greatly influenced by change in electronic structure. Furthermore, Boltzmann theory, as implemented in the BoltzTrap code, is used to determine transport parameters such as the Seebeck Coefficient, electrical conduc-tivity and power factor at temperatures of 300 K and 800 K. Our results indicate that BP, BAs and BSb monolayers can be used for wide range of applications due to its tunable bandgap nature. Successful calculations the properties of a variety materials have shown that the results developed in this computational work can be reliably used in further studies of thermoelectricity.
