AbstractWe combined empirical and ab initio methods to study structural and electronic properties of amorphous silicon nitride. For such study, we developed an interatomic potential to describe the interactions between silicon, nitrogen, and hydrogen atoms. Using this potential, we performed Monte Carlo simulations in a simulated annealing scheme to study structural properties of amorphous silicon nitride. Then this potential was used to generate relevant structures of a-SiNx:Hy which were input configurations to ab initio calculations. We investigated the electronic and structural role played by hydrogen incorporation in amorphous silicon nitride.

First principles density functional theory was used to study the energetic, structural, and electronic properties of HfS 2 and TiS 2 materials in their bulk, pristine monolayer, as well as in the monolayer structure with the adsorbed C, N, and P atoms. It is shown that the HfS 2 monolayer remains a semiconductor while TiS 2 changes from semiconductor to metallic behavior after the atomic adsorption. The interaction with the external atoms introduces localized levels inside the band gap of the pristine monolayers, significantly altering their electronic properties, with important consequences on the practical use of these materials in real devices. These results emphasize the importance of considering the interaction of these 2D materials with common external atomic or molecular species.
