Despite its emerging popularity in research and vast applications, it remains a challenge to understand how phosphorene behaves when deformed along an arbitrary direction, which would allow for understanding in how phosphorene's properties may be adjusted for increased applications. Due to its orthorhombic structure, phosphorene likely exhibits strong anisotropy under strain application. In this paper, we investigate the structural, mechanical, and electronic behavior of the lattice under symmetry-breaking deformation. We answer two specific questions: (i) How does uniaxial deformation at different angles affect the phosphorene's mechanical properties differently? (ii) What are unexpected properties of phos-FIG. : Ball-and-stick structure of phosphorene. The atoms are colored according to their height in the out-of-plane direction.
