Abstract
By means of hybrid DFT calculations and the deformation potential approximation, we show that bilayer phosphorene under slight compression perpendicular to its surface exhibits extraordinary room temperature electron mobility of order 7 × 10(4) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). This is approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher than is widely reported for ground state phosphorenes and is the result of the emergence of a new conduction band minimum that is decoupled from the in-plane acoustic phonons that dominate carrier scattering.
