研究目的
To investigate the electronic properties of a 2D MoTe2/WSe2 van der Waals heterostructure under the influence of an electric field perpendicular to the interface layers, focusing on the effects of external electric field on the band gap and band alignment.
研究成果
The external electric field can modulate the electronic properties and band offsets of the MoTe2/WSe2 heterostructure, inducing a transition from semiconductor to metal and tuning the band alignment from type-II to type-I. The study suggests potential applications in nanoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study is based on computational simulations, which may not fully capture all physical phenomena observed in experimental conditions. The response to electric fields is distinct due to intrinsic spontaneous polarization, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
First-principles calculations were performed using the plane wave code Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). Electron exchange and correlation were treated within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) and the vdW density functional 2 (vdW-DF2) correction was included. The Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE06) hybrid functional was used to calculate the band structures.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on the MoTe2/WSe2 heterostructure, with lattice constants and band gaps calculated for monolayer MoTe2 and WSe
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational simulations were performed using VASP and PHONOPY code for phonon dispersion calculations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Structures were optimized until forces on each atom were <
5：01 eV/?. The 2D Brillouin zone integration was sampled with an 11×11×1 grid for geometry optimization. Data Analysis Methods:
Band structures and density of states (DOS) were analyzed to investigate the electronic properties under varying external electric fields.
