研究目的
Investigating the electron transport properties in four-terminal MoS2 nanoribbons to understand the influence of edge states and channel geometry on transport characteristics.
研究成果
The study reveals that insulating bands in the conductance spectra of straight-channel MoS2 nanoribbons are related to their band gaps, while finite transports in the insulating-band region of curved channels are due to edge states. These findings are significant for manipulating electron transport in MoS2 nanoribbons for potential applications in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.
研究不足
The study does not account for the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect, which may influence the valence-band splitting but is considered negligible for the conduction band. Additionally, the research is theoretical, and practical applications may face challenges in fabricating such precise nanoribbon structures.
