    • Figure 1.  Top (a) and side (b) views of the optimized GaInX3 (X = S, Se, Te) monolayer structure. Phonon dispersions of GaInS3 (c), GaInSe3 (d), and GaInTe3 (e). Band structures for GaInS3 (f), GaInSe3 (g), and GaInTe3 (h) obtained using the PBE (black curves) and HSE06 (blue curves) functionals. The Fermi level is represented by the red dashed lines.

    • Figure 2.  (a) Lattice thermal conductivities of GaInX3 (X = S, Se, Te) materials as a function of temperature. At 300 K, the cumulative lattice thermal conductivity (black solid line) and the frequency-dependent lattice thermal conductivity (red solid line) of GaInS3 (b), GaInSe3 (c), and GaInTe3 (d).

    • Figure 3.  The calculated three-phonon scattering rate (a)–(c), the group velocity (d)–(f), and the Grüneisen constant (g)–(i) of GaInX3 (X = S, Se, Te) materials.

    • Figure 4.  The calculated Seebeck coefficient (S) (a)–(c), the electrical conductivity coefficient (σ) (d)–(f), and the electronic thermal conductivity coefficient (κe) (g)–(i) as a function of carrier concentration for p-type and n-type GaInX3 (X = S, Se, Te) at 300 K, 600 K, and 900 K.

    • Figure 5.  The obtained ZT values of GaInS3 (a), GaInSe3 (b), and GaInTe3 (c) as a function of carrier concentration for both n-type and p-type doping at 300 K, 600 K, and 900 K.
