Manipulable Electronic and Optical Properties of Two-Dimensional MoSTe/MoGe₂N₄ van der Waals Heterostructures.

ABSTRACT: van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) can exhibit novel physical properties and a wide range of applications compared with monolayer two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this work, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of MoSTe/MoGe₂N₄ vdWH under two different configurations using the VASP software package based on density functional theory. The results show that Te₄-MoSTe/MoGe₂N₄ vdWH is a semimetal, while S₄-MoSTe/MoGe₂N₄ vdWH is a direct band gap semiconductor. Compared with the two monolayers, the absorption coefficient of MoSTe/MoGe₂N₄ vdWH increases significantly. In addition, the electronic structure and the absorption coefficient can be manipulated by applying
