Adsorption of gas molecules on monolayer MoS2 and effect of applied electric field.

ABSTRACT: : Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the adsorption of various gas molecules (H2, O2, H2O, NH3, NO, NO2, and CO) on monolayer MoS2. The most stable adsorption configuration, adsorption energy, and charge transfer are obtained. It is shown that all the molecules are weakly adsorbed on the monolayer MoS2 surface and act as charge acceptors for the monolayer, except NH3 which is found to be a charge donor. Furthermore, we show that charge transfer between the adsorbed molecule and MoS2 can be significantly modulated by a perpendicular electric field. Our theoretical results are consistent with the recent experiments and suggest MoS2 as a potential material for gas sensing application.

Adsorption Behavior of Ni-Doped ZnO Monolayer upon SF<sub>6</sub> Decomposed Components and Effect of the Applied Electric Field.

Project description:In this article, Ni-doped ZnO (Ni-ZnO) monolayer is proposed as a potential sensing material for detection of two SF6 decomposed components (namely, SO2 and SOF2), based on the density functional theory (DFT) method, to monitor the operation status of SF6 insulation devices in the power system. The Ni-doping effect on the physicochemical properties of the pure ZnO monolayer is first studied, with the binding energy (E b) calculated as -1.49 eV. Then, the adsorption of a Ni-ZnO monolayer upon SO2 and SOF2 molecules shows that the Ni-ZnO monolayer exhibits strong chemisorption upon the two gas species, with the adsorption energy (E ad) obtained as -2.38 and -2.19 eV, respectively. The electronic properties of the Ni-ZnO monolayer upon gas adsorption are studied through the density-of-state (DOS) analysis, whereas the band structure (BS) and work function (WF) analysis provide the sensing mechanism of the Ni-ZnO monolayer upon two gases. In addition, the charge-transfer behavior during adsorption in the applied electric fields is analyzed to expound the possibility of Ni-ZnO monolayer as a field-effect-transistor gas sensor. Our calculations can stimulate the study on adsorption and sensing behaviors of TM-ZnO monolayers for their applications in many fields.

Scalable fabrication of a hybrid field-effect and acousto-electric device by direct growth of monolayer MoS2/LiNbO3.

Project description:Lithium niobate is the archetypical ferroelectric material and the substrate of choice for numerous applications including surface acoustic wave radio frequencies devices and integrated optics. It offers a unique combination of substantial piezoelectric and birefringent properties, yet its lack of optical activity and semiconducting transport hamper application in optoelectronics. Here we fabricate and characterize a hybrid MoS2/LiNbO3 acousto-electric device via a scalable route that uses millimetre-scale direct chemical vapour deposition of MoS2 followed by lithographic definition of a field-effect transistor structure on top. The prototypical device exhibits electrical characteristics competitive with MoS2 devices on silicon. Surface acoustic waves excited on the substrate can manipulate and probe the electrical transport in the monolayer device in a contact-free manner. We realize both a sound-driven battery and an acoustic photodetector. Our findings open directions to non-invasive investigation of electrical properties of monolayer films.

Extrinsic Origin of Persistent Photoconductivity in Monolayer MoS2 Field Effect Transistors.

Project description:Recent discoveries of the photoresponse of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have shown the considerable potential of these two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides for optoelectronic applications. Among the various types of photoresponses of MoS2, persistent photoconductivity (PPC) at different levels has been reported. However, a detailed study of the PPC effect and its mechanism in MoS2 is still not available, despite the importance of this effect on the photoresponse of the material. Here, we present a systematic study of the PPC effect in monolayer MoS2 and conclude that the effect can be attributed to random localized potential fluctuations in the devices. Notably, the potential fluctuations originate from extrinsic sources based on the substrate effect of the PPC. Moreover, we point out a correlation between the PPC effect in MoS2 and the percolation transport behavior of MoS2. We demonstrate a unique and efficient means of controlling the PPC effect in monolayer MoS2, which may offer novel functionalities for MoS2-based optoelectronic applications in the future.

Surface Charge Transfer Doping of MoS2 Monolayer by Molecules with Aggregation-Induced Emission Effect.

Project description:Surface charge transfer doping has attracted much attention in modulating the optical and electrical behavior of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), where finding controllable and efficient dopants is crucial. Here, 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect were selected as adjustable dopants. By designing nitro and methoxyl functional groups and surface coating, controlled p/n-type doping can be achieved on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown monolayer, MoS2. We investigated the electron transfer behavior between these two dopants and MoS2 with fluorescence, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectra and transient absorption spectra. 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)ethane (TPE-4NO2) with a negative charge aggregation can be a donor to transfer electrons to MoS2, while 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethane (TPE-4OCH3) is the opposite and electron-accepting. Density functional theory calculations further explain and confirm these experimental results. This work shows a new way to select suitable dopants for TMDCs, which is beneficial for a wide range of applications in optoelectronic devices.

Continuous polyelectrolyte adsorption under an applied electric potential.

Project description:Interactions between charged macromolecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, polyelectrolytes) and charged surfaces govern many natural and industrial processes. We investigate here the influence of an applied electric potential on the adsorption of charged polymers, and report the following significant result: the adsorption of certain amine side chain-containing polycations may become continuous, i.e., asymptotically linear (or nearly linear) in time over hours, upon the application of a modest anodic potential. Employing optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) and an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate, we show that asymptotic kinetics, and the adsorbed mass at the onset of the asymptotic regime, depend sensitively on polymer chemistry (in particular, side chain volume and charge location), increase with applied potential and ionic strength (conditions favoring a thicker initial layer), and are independent of bulk polymer concentration (suggesting postadsorption events to be rate limiting). X-ray photoelectron spectra reveal a suppressed polymer charge within layers formed via continuous adsorption, but no evidence of electrochemical reactions. We propose a mechanism based on polymer-polymer binding within the adsorbed layer, enabled by suppressed electrostatic repulsion and/or enhanced ionic correlations near the conducting surface, and stabilized by short-range attractive interactions. Continuous adsorption under an applied electric potential offers the possibility of nanoscale films of tailored polymer content realized in a single step.

Effect of electric field on optoelectronic properties of indiene monolayer for photoelectric nanodevices.

Project description:In recent years, layered materials display interesting properties and the quest for new sorts of two-dimensional (2D) structures is a significance for future device manufacture. In this paper, we study electronic and optical properties of 2D indiene allotropes with planar and buckled structures. The optical properties calculations are based on density functional theory (DFT) simulations including in-plane and out-of-plane directions of light polarization. We indicate that the optical properties such as complex refractive index, absorption spectrum, electron energy loss function (EELS), reflectivity and optical conductivity spectra are strongly dependent on the direction of light's polarization. High values and narrow peaks in optical spectra introduce indiene to the field of ultra-thin optical systems. The effect of external static electric field on electronic and optical properties of indiene is also observed and discussed. We show that the band gap in buckled indiene can be effectively changed by applying the external electric field. The discoveries here expand the group of 2D materials beyond graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and give valuable data for future experimental realization of new mono-elemental materials with conceivable applications in optical devices.

Adsorption Behavior of the Hydroxyl Radical and Its Effects on Monolayer MoS2.

Project description:Based on first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigated a modified routine using hydroxyl adsorption that recently demonstrated the controlled growth of MoS2 monolayers. The new growth approach impedes the deposition of a second MoS2 layer; however, the hydroxyl adsorption and its effects have been mostly unexplored. Through this study, we first explored the adsorption behaviors of the hydroxyl radical (OH) on monolayer MoS2 and briefly discussed its effects on the stability and electronic structure. Monolayer MoS2 repels charged OH-, whereas the adsorption of the neutral OH radical is energetically favorable; the corresponding adsorption energies are 0.09 eV and -1.35 eV, respectively. The diffusion barrier of the OH radical on MoS2 is 0.52 eV, indicating that the molecule can quickly diffuse. Next, the study demonstrated that for multiple OH adsorptions, a concerted reaction including OH dissociation and H2O formation is more energetically favorable than the adsorption of two OH molecules by 2.50 eV, which in turn results in a mixed adsorption configuration of O and OH. In addition, we revealed that the OH adsorption creates a mid-gap state and facilitates the reconstruction of the MoS2 edge.

Effect of metal decoration on sulfur-based gas molecules adsorption on phosphorene.

Project description:Based on first-principles calculation, the adsorption of sulfur-based gas molecules (H2S, SO2, SO3) on various metal-decorated phosphorenes is researched systematically. Eleven metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ni, La, Tl) which can avoid the formation of clusters on the phosphorene are considered. Noticeably, all metal decorations can enhance the adsorption strength of phosphorene to sulfur-based gas molecules except for H2S on Tl-decorated phosphorene. Meanwhile, the adsorption energy (Eads) shows the trend of Eads(H2S) < Eads(SO2) < Eads(SO3) for the same metal decoration case. In addition, some metal-decorated phosphorene systems exhibit intriguing magnetic and electrical variation after sulfur-based gas molecule adsorptions, indicating that these systems are promising to be candidates for the detection and removal of sulfur-based gas molecules.

Imaging the valley and orbital Hall effect in monolayer MoS2.

Project description:The topological properties of a material's electronic structure are encoded in its Berry curvature, a quantity which is intimately related to the transverse electrical conductivity. In transition metal dichalcogenides with broken inversion symmetry, the nonzero Berry curvature results in a valley Hall effect. In this paper we identify a previously unrecognized consequence of Berry curvature in these materials: an electric field-induced change in the electrons' charge density orientation. We use first principles calculations to show that measurements of the electric field-induced change in the charge density or local density of states in MoS2 can be used to measure its energy-dependent valley and orbital Hall conductivity.

Relaxor-Ferroelectric Films for Dielectric Tunable Applications: Effect of Film Thickness and Applied Electric Field.

Project description:The dielectric properties, tunability and figure-of-merit (FOM) of relaxor Pb0.9La0.1(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PLZT) films have been investigated. Dielectric measurements indicated that the dielectric constant (at zero-bias field), tunability and FOM are enhanced as the film thickness increases, which are mainly attributed to the presence of an interfacial layer near the film-electrode interface. Experimental results illustrated that a slight reduction is observed in both dielectric constant and tunability (-2%) in a wide-frequency range (10 kHz-1 MHz); meanwhile, the FOM value decreases significantly (-17%) with increasing frequency, arising from the higher dielectric loss value. The 1000-nm PLZT film shows the largest tunability of 94.6% at a maximum electric-field of 1450 kV/cm, while the highest FOM factor is 37.6 at 1000 kV/cm, due to the combination of medium tunability (88.7%) and low dielectric loss (0.0236). All these excellent results indicated that the relaxor PLZT films are promising candidates for specific applications in microwave devices.
