van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) can exhibit novel physical properties and a wide range of applications compared with monolayer two-dimensional (2D) materials. In this work, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of MoSTe/MoGe2N4 vdWH under two different configurations using the VASP software package based on density functional theory. The results show that Te4-MoSTe/MoGe2N4 vdWH is a semimetal, while S4-MoSTe/MoGe2N4 vdWH is a direct band gap semiconductor. Compared with the two monolayers, the absorption coefficient of MoSTe/MoGe2N4 vdWH increases significantly. In addition, the electronic structure and the absorption coefficient can be manipulated by applying biaxial strains and changing interlayer distances. These studies show that MoSTe/MoGe2N4 vdWH is an excellent candidate for high-performance optoelectronic devices.

In recent years, much interest in the study of Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWhs) has arisen. This has led to a significant amount of fundamental research being produced, from which novel optoelectronic applications have been established. By using first principles, we analyze the electronic structure of silicane/SnSe2 vdWhs in the response to an externally applied electric field and a normal strain. The results show that the silicane/SnSe2 vdWh acts as an indirect semiconductor when it is subjected to an applied electric field between −1 and 0.1 V/Å and becomes a metal in the 0.2 to 1 V/Å range. Significantly, the electronic band alignments of the silicane/SnSe2 vdWhs are modified from a type-II to a type-I when a field of −0.7 V/Å is applied. Furthermore, it is determined that the silicane/SnSe2 vdWhs appears to have a semiconductor-metal phase transition at a strain of −5%. Our results indicate that the silicane/SnSe2 vdWhs have the potential for applications in novel high-performance optoelectronic devices.
