Elastic Properties of BCN Alloys, Graphene, and h -BN Monolayers Containing Point Defects

-BN. This mechanical behavior persists in materials with few atomic percent of point defect concentration and agrees with most experimental results found in the literature. As the mechanical properties of 2D BCN alloys can be manipulated by a preferential substitution of B and N atoms with C atoms, our predictions may guide future efforts in defect-mediated engineering of the mechanical properties of 2D materials.
