Here we report the use of an external electric field as a novel switch to improve the optical absorption capacity of two-dimensional defect blue phosphorene (BlueP) systems. Using the density functional theory with van der Waals functionals, we investigate the structural, electronic, magnetic and optical absorption properties of the pristine, single-vacancy (SV) BlueP thin films, and a BlueP system absorbing a Vanadium adatom. We demonstrate that a SV BlueP layer would exhibit half-metallic and its absorption spectrum under an electric field parallel to the material plane is significantly enhanced in the ultra-violet region. More interestingly, when a Vanadium transition metal is absorbed on a pristine BlueP, the applied electric field perpendicular to the BlueP plane not only doubles the optical absorption coefficient, but also switches ON/OFF the magnetic moments of this system. The prominent red shift of the absorption spectra towards the visible light range under selected polarized directions paves a novel way to engineer solar cell devices with BlueP materials. %U https://js.vnu.edu.vn/MaP/article/view/4683 %J VNU Journal of Science: Mathematics - Physics %0 Journal Article %R 10.25073/2588-1124/vnumap.4683 %V 38 %N 2 %@ 2588-1124 %8 2022-06-24
