Monolayer β-tellurene: a promising p-type thermoelectric material via first-principles calculations.

Inspired by the experimental growth of two-dimensional (2D) tellurene (Yixin et al., Nat. Electron, 2018, 1, 228-236) and the recent study of unusually low thermal conductivity of atomically thin 2D tellurium (Jie Ren et al.
