摘要

To clarify Rashba spin–orbit coupling (SOC), electronic structure, thermoelectric properties, six square/octagon (s/o) Bi-Sb isomer monolayers (labeled I–VI) are investigated using first-principles calculations combined with Boltzmann transport theory. Results reveal that Rashba spin-splitting is observed in five of these isomers due to broken inversion symmetry. Isomer III exhibits the strongest Rashba effect among the six s/o Bi-Sb isomer monolayers, while Isomer II has the largest figure of merit owing to lower lattice thermal conductivity and moderately larger bandgap. These insights provide an in-depth understanding of the regulation of the thermoelectric properties of isomer monolayers via Rashba SOC.
