We have investigated the effect of uniform plane strain on the electronic properties of monolayer 1T-TiS2using first-principles calculations. With the appropriate tensile strain, the material properties can be transformed from a semimetal to a direct band gap semiconductor.

The Future

We systematically study, by using first-principles calculations, stabilities, electronic properties, and optical properties of GexSn1-xSe alloy made of SnSe and GeSe monolayers with different Ge concentrations x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0. Our results show that the critical solubility temperature of the alloy is around 580 K. With the increase of Ge concentration, band gap of the alloy increases nonlinearly and ranges from 0.92 to 1.13 eV at the PBE level and 1.39 to 1.59 eV at the HSE06 level. When the Ge concentration x is more than 0.5, the alloy changes into a direct bandgap semiconductor; the band gap ranges from 1.06 to 1.13 eV at the PBE level and 1.50 to 1.59 eV at the HSE06 level, which falls within the range of the optimum band gap for solar cells. Further optical calculations verify that, through alloying, the optical properties can be improved by subtle controlling the compositions. Since GexSn1-xSe alloys with different compositions have been successfully fabricated in experiments, we hope these insights will contribute to the future application in optoelectronics.

Structural And Electronic Properties

The structural and electronic properties of BN(5, 5) and C(5, 5) nanotubes under pressure are studied by using first principles calculations. In our study range, BN(5, 5) undergoes obvious elliptical distortion, while for C(5, 5) the cross section first becomes an ellipse and then, under further pressure, is flattened. The band gap of BN(5, 5) decreases with increasing pressure, which is inverse to that of zinc blende BN, whereas for C(5, 5) the metallicity is always preserved under high pressure. The population of charge density indicates that intertube bonding is formed under pressure. We also find that BN(5, 5) may collapse, and a new polymer material based on C(5, 5) is formed by applying pressure.

We investigated the structural stability and electronic properties of WS2 and graphene oxide (GO) heterostructures via first-principles calculations. It is found that the band gap and the work function of the WS2/GO heterostructures can be efficiently tuned by changing the oxygen functionals and its concentrations.
