Abstract

A BN monolayer (M-BN) was designed by introducing the Stone-Wales defects to h-BN. Using first principles calculations, we verified the energetic, dynamical, thermal and mechanical stability of M-BN. M-BN has a high Young's modulus and an anisotropic mechanical response. Moreover, the calculations results of electronic properties show that M−N- is an indirect band gap semiconductor. The band edge positions of the M−N- monolayer span the redox potential of water, which suggest its great potential in the application of photocatalytic water splitting. Remarkably, the high optical absorption capability of M−N- in the ultraviolet range make it to be a potential candidate in optoelectronic device applications. The current results provide insights for further exploring the new 2D materials for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
