研究目的
To investigate the impact of stacking arrangements and point defects on the electronic properties of heterostructures constructed from monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoS2, WS2, WSe2, and MoSe2.
研究成果
Heterostructures exhibit semiconductor properties different from individual monolayers, with indirect gaps in shifted stacking and direct gaps in mirror stacking for some configurations. Point defects reduce band gaps and can preserve direct-gap character in specific cases, useful for energy gap engineering in electronic devices.
研究不足
DFT approaches without electronic self-energy corrections underestimate band gaps; excitonic effects are not fully accounted for, limiting direct comparison with optical experiments.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Ab initio simulations using density functional theory (DFT) with the PAW-LDA approximation in the VASP code. Van der Waals interaction was treated with the optB86b-vdW functional.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Freestanding heterostructures composed of monolayers of MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 in 2H phase with space group P63/mmc.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational software VASP; no physical equipment mentioned.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Atomic relaxation via minimization of total energy, calculation of Hellmann-Feynman forces and stress tensor, energy cutoff at 380 eV, use of 9x9x2 Γ-centered k-point grid, and analysis of electronic energy bands and densities of states.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of orbital compositions and band structures using DFT calculations.
