The longlived charged massive scalar field in the higher-dimensional Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m spacetime
The quasinormal resonance frequency of the higher-dimensional
Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m (RN) black hole due to charged massive scalar field
perturbation is deduced analytically in the eikonal regime. The characteristic
decay timescale of the charged massive scalar perturbation in the background of
the higher-dimensional RN spacetime is then obtained. The result reveals that
longlived charged massive scalar field can exist in higher-dimensional RN
spacetime under a certain condition.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Designing isoelectronic counterparts to layered group V semiconductors
In analogy to III-V compounds, which have significantly broadened the scope
of group IV semiconductors, we propose IV-VI compounds as isoelectronic
counterparts to layered group V semiconductors. Using {\em ab initio} density
functional theory, we study yet unrealized structural phases of silicon
mono-sulfide (SiS). We find the black-phosphorus-like -SiS to be almost
equally stable as the blue-phosphorus-like -SiS. Both -SiS and
-SiS monolayers display a significant, indirect band gap that depends
sensitively on the in-layer strain. Unlike 2D semiconductors of group V
elements with the corresponding nonplanar structure, different SiS allotropes
show a strong polarization either within or normal to the layers. We find that
SiS may form both lateral and vertical heterostructures with phosphorene at a
very small energy penalty, offering an unprecedented tunability in structural
and electronic properties of SiS-P compounds.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
