Novel carbon-based nonlinear optical (NLO) materials were designed by doping single alkali metal atoms into the surface of graphdiyne (GDY), rather than graphene and graphyne, because AM@GDY (AM = Li, Na, K) possesses an exceptionally high first hyperpolarizability (βtot), especially in the case of K@GDY.

The electronic structure and spin polarization properties of pentagonal structure PdSe2 doped with transition metal atoms are studied through first- principles calculations. The theoretical investigations show that the band gap of the PdSe2 monolayer decreases after introducing Cr, Mn, Fe and Co dopants. The projected densities of states show that p-d orbital couplings between the transition metal atoms and PdSe2 generate new spin nondegenerate states near the Fermi level which make the system spin polarized. The calculated magnetic moments, spin density distributions and charge transfer of the systems suggest that the spin polarization in Cr-doped PdSe2 will be the biggest. Our work shows that the properties of PdSe2 can be modified by doping transition metal atoms, which provides opportunity for the applications of PdSe2 in electronics and spintronics.

Exploring the properties of noble metal atoms and nano- or subnano-clusters on the semiconductor surface is of great importance in many surface catalytic reactions, self-assembly processes, crystal growth, and thin film epitaxy.

The structural stability and electronic properties of silicene-like nanotubes by metal atoms encapsulated were studied by first-principles. The calculations demonstrate that all the structures of nanotubes are stable, expect beryllium doped. Some nanotubes are semiconductor with small value of band gap while others are conductor, because the interaction and hybridizations decrease the band gap. Our electronic structure analysis shows that metal atoms gain electrons and Si atoms lose electrons as a whole, some electrons transferred from Si to metal atoms. We hope that our calculations will provide help to further experimental studies.

We investigated the diffusion properties of metal atoms in van der Waals layered materials using first-principles calculations combined with group theory analysis. We found that the diffusion rate of Cu in bulk MoS2 is much faster than other investigated metal atoms, whereas the diffusion rate of Cu in monolayer MoS2 is the slowest one among investigated systems.
