Structural properties of phosphorene oxides

Due to the existence of a lone pair of electrons on each P atom, phosphorene can be easily oxidized. At first, we have investigated the structural stability of POx with 0<x<1. For every given 0<x<1 of POx, diverse configurations are considered and optimized to find its equilibrium structure to know whether such a phosphorene oxide can be formed or not.
