Fig. 5

a The two fundamental types of ribbons, obtained by cleaving along the two in-plane directions of phosphorene, leading to armchair- (left) and zigzag- (right) type ribbons, with the boundaries of the periodic simulation cells indicated. The energies are given relative to a phosphorene monolayer; all structures are cleaved from the bulk without further relaxation. b Demonstration of the applicability to a much larger system (15,744 atoms), shown for a GAP + R6-driven MD snapshot after 10 ps in the NVT ensemble, with a thermostat set to 300 K, and then another 40 ps of constant-energy (NVE) dynamics. Colour coding indicates the atomic positions in the direction normal to the layer.
