Abstract

We derive low-energy effective k · p Hamiltonians for monolayer C3N at the Γ and M points of the Brillouin zone, where the band edge in the conduction and valence band can be found. Our analysis of the electronic band symmetries helps to better understand several results of recent ab initio calculations for the optical properties of this material. We also calculate the Landau-level spectrum. We find that the Landau-level spectrum in the degenerate conduction bands at the Γ point acquires properties that are reminiscent of the corresponding results in bilayer graphene, but there are important differences as well. Moreover, because of the heavy effective mass, n-doped samples may host interesting electron–electron interaction effects.
