The geometry, electronic structure, and adsorption properties of halogen molecule X(X = F, Cl) on arsenene were investigated using first-principles calculations. The adsorption of molecules was considered at various sites and in various orientations on the pristine arsenene (p-As) surface. Both molecules show chemisorption and the crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (COHP) analysis reveals the formation of strong X-As bonds.
