Black phosphorus (BP), a two‐dimensional (2D) material, has a direct bandgap that can be tuned by changing the layers and applied strain, which fills the lacuna left by graphene topological insulators and transition‐metal dichalcogenides. Theoretically, the direct and tunable bandgap should enable broadband applicatio…
