In this work, using density functional theory we investigated systematically the electronic properties and Schottky barrier modulation in a multilayer graphene/bilayer-GaSe heterostructure by varying the interlayer spacing and by applying an external electric field.

Abstract Vertically stacked heterostructures have received extensive attention because of their tunable electronic structures and outstanding optical properties. In this work, we have studied the structural, electronic and optical properties of vertically stacked GaS-SnS2 heterostructure under the frame of density functional theory. We find that the stacked GaS-SnS2 heterostructure is a semiconductor with suitable indirect band gaps of 1.82 eV, exhibiting a type-II band alignment for easily separating the photo-generated carriers. The electronic properties of GaS-SnS2 heterostructure can be effectively tuned by external strain and electric field. The optical absorption of GaS-SnS2 heterostructure is more enhanced by comparison with the GaS monolayer and SnS2 monolayer in the visible light. Our results suggest that GaS-SnS2 heterostructure is a promising candidate for the photocatalyst and photoelectronic devices in visible light.

Density functional theory calculations are performed in order to study the structural and electronic properties of monolayer Pt2HgSe3. Effects of uniaxial and biaxial strain, layer thickness, electric field and out-of-plane pressure on the electronic properties are systematically investigated.

Using density functional theory, we study the electronic properties of several halide monolayers. We show that their electronic bandgaps, as obtained with the HSE hybrid functional, range between 3.0 and 7.5 eV and that their phonon spectra are dynamically stable. Additionally, we show that under an external electric field some of these systems exhibit a semiconductor-to-metal transition.
