Tailoring the electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer SnO by B, C, N, O and F adatoms.

ABSTRACT: Recently, SnO has attracted more and more attention, because it is a bipolar electronic material holding great potential in the design of p-n junction. In this paper, we examine the effect of extrinsic point defects on modifying the electronic and magnetic properties of SnO using density functionals theory (DFT). The surface adatoms considered are B, C, N, O and F with a [He] core electronic configuration. All adatoms are found energetically stable. B, C, N and F adatoms will modify the band gap and introduce band gap states. In addition, our calculations show that N, B and F can introduce stable local magnetic moment to the lattice. Our results, therefore, offer a possible route to tailor the electronic and magnetic properties of SnO by surface functionalization, which will be helpful to experimentalists in improving the performance of SnO-based electronic devices and opening new avenue for its spintronics applications.

Electronic and magnetic properties of Co doped MoS2 monolayer.

Project description:First principle calculations are employed to calculate the electronic and magnetic properties of Co doped MoS2 by considering a variety of defects including all the possible defect complexes. The results indicate that pristine MoS2 is nonmagnetic. The materials with the existence of S vacancy or Mo vacancy alone are non-magnetic either. Further calculation demonstrates that Co substitution at Mo site leads to spin polarized state. Two substitutional CoMo defects tend to cluster and result in the non-magnetic behaviour. However, the existence of Mo vacancies leads to uniform distribution of Co dopants and it is energy favourable with ferromagnetic coupling, resulting in an intrinsic diluted magnetic semiconductor.

Enhanced magnetic anisotropies of single transition-metal adatoms on a defective MoS2 monolayer.

Project description:Single magnetic atoms absorbed on an atomically thin layer represent the ultimate limit of bit miniaturization for data storage. To approach the limit, a critical step is to find an appropriate material system with high chemical stability and large magnetic anisotropic energy. Here, on the basis of first-principles calculations and the spin-orbit coupling theory, it is elucidated that the transition-metal Mn and Fe atoms absorbed on disulfur vacancies of MoS2 monolayers are very promising candidates. It is analysed that these absorption systems are of not only high chemical stabilities but also much enhanced magnetic anisotropies and particularly the easy magnetization axis is changed from the in-plane one for Mn to the out-of-plane one for Fe by a symmetry-lowering Jahn-Teller distortion. The results point out a promising direction to achieve the ultimate goal of single adatomic magnets with utilizing the defective atomically thin layers.

Magnetic and electronic evolutions of hydrogenated VTe₂ monolayer under tension.

Project description:Two-dimensional nanostructures with controllable magnetic and electronic properties are desirable for their versatile applications in quantum devices. Here, we present a first-principles design on their magnetic and electronic switching controlled by tension. We find that hydrogenated VTe2 monolayer experiences a transfer from anti-ferromagnetism to ferromagnetism via a turning-point of paramagnetism, and switches from semiconductor, to metal, further to half-metal as tension increases. We show that its anti-ferromagnetism with semiconducting or metallic character under low tension is contributed to super-exchange or mobile-carrier enhanced super-exchange, while the ferromagnetism with half-metallic character under high tension is induced by carrier-mediated double exchange. We further show that the magnetic and electronic evolutions of hydrogenated VS2 and VSe2 monolayers under tension follow the same trend as those of hydrogenated VTe2 monolayer. We predict that tension is efficient and simple to control the magnetic and electronic properties of hydrogenated vanadium dichalcogenides monolayers. The monolayers with controllable magnetism and conductivity may find applications in multi-functional nanodevices.

Tunable Electronic Properties of Lateral Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Superlattice Nanoribbons.

Project description:The structural stability and structural and electronic properties of lateral monolayer transition metal chalcogenide superlattice zigzag and armchair nanoribbons have been studied by employing a first-principles method based on the density functional theory. The main focus is to study the effects of varying the width and periodicity of nanoribbon, varying cationic and anionic elements of superlattice parent compounds, biaxial strain, and nanoribbon edge passivation with different elements. The band gap opens up when the (MoS2)3/(WS2)3 and (MoS2)3/(MoTe2)3 armchair nanoribbons are passivated by H, S and O atoms. The H and O co-passivated (MoS2)3/(WS2)3 armchair nanoribbon exhibits higher energy band gap. The band gap with the edge S vacancy connecting to the W atom is much smaller than the S vacancy connecting to the Mo atom. Small band gaps are obtained for both edge and inside Mo vacancies. There is a clear difference in the band gap states between inside and edge Mo vacancies for symmetric nanoribbon structure, while there is only a slight difference for asymmetric structure. The electronic orbitals of atoms around Mo vacancy play an important role in determining the valence band maximum, conduction band minimum, and impurity level in the band gap.

Tailoring phononic, electronic, and thermoelectric properties of orthorhombic GeSe through hydrostatic pressure.

Project description:In this paper, we systematically investigate the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the phononic and electronic transport properties of orthorhombic p-type GeSe using first-principles based Boltzmann transport equation approach. It is found that the lattice thermal conductivities along the a and c directions increase with pressure, whereas it experiences a decrease along the b direction. This anomalous pressure dependent lattice thermal conductivity is attributed to the combined effect of enhanced phonon group velocity and reduced phonon lifetime. Additionally, the optical phonon branches have remarkable contributions to the total lattice thermal conductivity. The electronic transport calculations indicate that the Seebeck coefficient undergoes a sign change from p-type to n-type along the a direction under pressure, and a dramatic enhancement of the power factor is observed due to the boost of electrical conductivity. The predicted ZT values along the a, b, and c directions are 1.54, 1.09, and 1.01 at 700?K and 8?GPa, respectively, which are about 14, 7.3, and 1.9 times higher than those at zero pressure at experimental carrier concentration of ~1018?cm-3. Our study is expected to provide a guide for further optimization of the thermal and charge transport properties through hydrostatic pressure.

Regioselective Fluorination of Acenes: Tailoring of Molecular Electronic Levels and Solid-State Properties.

Project description:Optoelectronic properties of molecular solids are important for organic electronic devices and are largely determined by the adopted molecular packing motifs. In this study, we analyzed such structure-property relationships for the partially regioselective fluorinated tetracenes 1,2,12-trifluorotetracene, 1,2,10,12-tetrafluorotetracene and 1,2,9,10,11-pentafluorotetracene that were further compared with tetracene and perfluoro-tetracene. Quantum chemical DFT calculations in combination with optical absorption spectroscopy data show that the frontier orbital energies are lowered with the degree of fluorination, while their optical gap is barely affected. However, the crystal structure changes from a herringbone packing motif of tetracene towards a planar stacking motif of the fluorinated tetracene derivatives, which is accompanied by the formation of excimers and leads to strongly red-shifted photoluminescence with larger lifetimes.

Structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of defects in monolayer black phosphorus.

Project description:The structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of monolayer black phosphorus (M-BP) with different kinds of defects are investigated within the frame of density-functional theory. All the possible configurations of defects in M-BP are explored, and the calculated results suggest that the stabilities of the configurations with different kinds of defects are greatly related to broken bonds, structural deformation and the character of the bonding. The configurations with two or three vacancies are energetically more favorable than the ones with a single vacancy. Meanwhile, the doping of two foreign atoms, such as sulfur, silicon or aluminum, is more stable than that of the corresponding single dopant. The electronic properties of M-BP are greatly affected by the types of defects. The single S-doped M-BP not only retains the character of a direct semiconductor, but it also can enlarge the band gap by 0.24 eV relative to the perfect one. Such results reveal that the defects not only greatly affect the electronic properties, but they also can be used as an effective way to modulate the band gap for the different applications of M-BP in electronic devices.

Monolayer-directed assembly and magnetic properties of FePt nanoparticles on patterned aluminum oxide.

Project description:FePt nanoparticles (NPs) were assembled on aluminum oxide substrates, and their ferromagnetic properties were studied before and after thermal annealing. For the first time, phosph(on)ates were used as an adsorbate to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on alumina to direct the assembly of NPs onto the surface. The Al(2)O(3) substrates were functionalized with aminobutylphosphonic acid (ABP) or phosphonoundecanoic acid (PNDA) SAMs or with poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) as a reference. FePt NPs assembled on all of these monolayers, but much less on unmodified Al(2)O(3), which shows that ligand exchange at the NPs is the most likely mechanism of attachment. Proper modification of the Al(2)O(3) surface and controlling the immersion time of the modified Al(2)O(3) substrates into the FePt NP solution resulted in FePt NPs assembly with controlled NP density. Alumina substrates were patterned by microcontact printing using aminobutylphosphonic acid as the ink, allowing local NP assembly. Thermal annealing under reducing conditions (96%N(2)/4%H(2)) led to a phase change of the FePt NPs from the disordered FCC phase to the ordered FCT phase. This resulted in ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. Such a process can potentially be applied in the fabrication of spintronic devices.

Revealing exciton masses and dielectric properties of monolayer semiconductors with high magnetic fields.

Project description:In semiconductor physics, many essential optoelectronic material parameters can be experimentally revealed via optical spectroscopy in sufficiently large magnetic fields. For monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide semiconductors, this field scale is substantial-tens of teslas or more-due to heavy carrier masses and huge exciton binding energies. Here we report absorption spectroscopy of monolayer [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] in very high magnetic fields to 91 T. We follow the diamagnetic shifts and valley Zeeman splittings of not only the exciton's [Formula: see text] ground state but also its excited [Formula: see text] Rydberg states. This provides a direct experimental measure of the effective (reduced) exciton masses and dielectric properties. Exciton binding energies, exciton radii, and free-particle bandgaps are also determined. The measured exciton masses are heavier than theoretically predicted, especially for Mo-based monolayers. These results provide essential and quantitative parameters for the rational design of opto-electronic van der Waals heterostructures incorporating 2D semiconductors.

First-principles study of nonmetal doped monolayer MoSe2 for tunable electronic and photocatalytic properties.

Project description:Recently, two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides become popular research topics because of their unique crystal and electronic structure. In this work, the geometrical structure, electronic, electrical transport, redox potentials and photocatalytic properties of nonmetal (H, B, C, Si, N, P, As, O, S, Te, F, Cl, Br and I) doped monolayer MoSe2 were investigated by first principle calculations. The binding energy indicates that nonmetal doped MoSe2 are energetically favorable compared to Se vacancies, except B- and C-doped. We have found that nonmetal dopants with an even number of valence electrons doped MoSe2 have p-type conductivity. On the contrary, nonmetal dopants with an odd number of valence electrons doped MoSe2 have p-type or n-type conductivity; and they have better photocatalytic performance.
