研究目的
To investigate the electronic structures and magnetic properties of transition-metal-doped WS2 monolayers using first-principles calculations, focusing on the dependence on dopant type and interatomic distances.
研究成果
The TM-doped WS2 monolayers exhibit ferromagnetic phases with specific magnetic moments and half-metallic properties. The magnetic state and stability depend on the dopant type and interatomic distance. Induced moments from W and S atoms play crucial roles in Co and Cu doping. The systems show potential for spintronics applications due to half-metallicity.
研究不足
Spin-orbit coupling effect was not included in the calculations, which might affect the accuracy of results. The study is computational and lacks experimental validation. The impurity concentration is fixed at 4%, and only specific TM dopants (Mn, Fe, Co, Cu) were considered.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to study the electronic and magnetic properties. The Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) code was used with projector augmented-wave method for electron-ion interactions and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation for exchange-correlation. Spin-orbit coupling was not included.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Pristine WS2 monolayer with W atoms partially replaced by Mn, Fe, Co, or Cu at 4% impurity concentration. Supercells of 5x5 and 7x7 sizes were used for single and two TM doping simulations, respectively.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational software (VASP code), no physical equipment specified.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Atomic structures were optimized with forces less than
5：01 eV·??1. Kinetic-energy cutoff of 450 eV and k-point meshes (2x2x1 for 5x5 and 7x7 supercells) were used. A vacuum region of 17 ? was applied to avoid slab interactions. Calculations included single and two TM doping configurations. Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of band structures, density of states (DOS), spin-density distributions, total and local magnetic moments, and energy differences between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states.
