First-Principles Calculations of van der Waals and Spin Orbit Effects on the Two-Dimensional Topological Insulator Stanene and Stanene on Ge(111) Substrate

Journal Article Bachra, M. El ; Zaari, H. ; Benyoussef, A. ; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

The structural and electronic properties of the monolayer and bilayer stanene structures have been studied using first-principles calculations. For the monolayer, the buckled structure is more stable than the flat one, with an opening of the band gap when spin-orbit coupling is taken into account, as mentioned in recent studies. For the bilayer, three types of stacking are considered: parallel layers, anti-parallel layers, and parallel layers where the first layer is shifted from the second one. These three configurations are named AA1, AA2, and AB, respectively. The two layers are separated by the distance d. The interactions between two layersmore »« less

Two-dimensional van der Waals heterojunctions for functional materials and devices

Journal Article Hu, Wei ; Yang, Jinlong - Journal of Materials Chemistry C

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, phosphorene, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), graphitic zinc oxide (g-ZnO) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs, e.g., MoS2), have already attracted extensive attention due to their outstanding properties and wide range of applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. In particular, 2D van der Waals heterojunctions combining the electronic structures of such 2D materials have also been predicted theoretically and synthesized experimentally to expect more new properties (e.g., bandgap opening in graphene, semiconductor band alignment, charge transfer and new optical absorption) and potential applications (e.g., solar cells, field-effect transistors (FFTs), PN junctions, PN diodes and photodetectors) farmore »« less

Persistent photoconductivity in two-dimensional Mo_1-xW _xSe₂–MoSe₂ van der Waals heterojunctions

Journal Article Puretzky, Alexander A. ; Basile, Leonardo ; Idrobo, Juan Carlos ; ... - Journal of Materials Research

Van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions consisting of vertically-stacked individual or multiple layers of two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconductors, especially the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are fascinating new artificial solids just nanometers-thin that promise novel optoelectronic functionalities due to the sensitivity of their electronic and optical properties to strong quantum confinement and interfacial interactions. Here, monolayers of n-type MoSe₂ and p-type Mo_1-xW _xSe₂–MoSe₂ are grown by vapor transport methods, then transferred and stamped to form artificial vdW heterostructures with different interlayer orientations. Atomic-resolution Z-contrast electron microscopy and electron diffraction are used to characterize both the individual monolayers and the atomic registry betweenmore »« less

Two-dimensional GaSe/MoSe₂ misfit bilayer heterojunctions by van der Waals epitaxy

Journal Article Li, Xufan ; Lin, Ming-Wei ; Lin, Junhao ; ... - Science Advances

Two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures hold the promise for future atomically thin electronics and optoelectronics because of their diverse functionalities. Although heterostructures consisting of different 2D materials with well-matched lattices and novel physical properties have been successfully fabricated via van der Waals (vdW) epitaxy, constructing heterostructures from layered semiconductors with large lattice misfits remains challenging. We report the growth of 2D GaSe/MoSe₂heterostructures with a large lattice misfit using two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Both vertically stacked and lateral heterostructures are demonstrated. The vertically stacked GaSe/MoSe₂heterostructures exhibit vdW epitaxy with well-aligned lattice orientation between the two layers, forming a periodic superlattice. However, themore »« less

First-principles calculations and experimental studies of: XYZ 2 thermoelectric compounds: Detailed analysis of van der Waals interactions

Journal Article Pöhls, Jan-Hendrik ; Luo, Zhe ; Aydemir, Umut ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry. A

First-principles calculations can accelerate the search for novel high-performance thermoelectric materials. However, the prediction of the thermoelectric properties is strongly dependent on the approximations used for the calculations. Here, thermoelectric properties were calculated with different computational approximations (i.e., PBE-GGA, HSE06, spin–orbit coupling and DFT-D3) for three layered XYZ₂ compounds (TmAgTe₂, YAgTe₂, and YCuTe₂). In addition to the computations, the structural, electrical and thermal properties of these compounds were measured experimentally and compared to the computations. Furthermore, an enhanced prediction of the crystal structure and heat capacity was achieved with the inclusion of van der Waals interactions due to more accuratemore »« less
