Structural And Electronic Properties

Transition metal di-chalcogenides (MX2) M=(Mo, W) and X=(S, Se) in bulk state are of great interest due to their diverse applications in the field of modern technology as well as to understand the fundamental aspect of Physics. We performed structural and electronic properties of selected systems using density functional theory implemented in Tight Binding Linear Muffin- tin Orbital (TBLMTO) approach with subsequent refinement. The structural optimization is performed through energy minimization process and lattice parameters of optimized structures for MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2 are found to be 3.20Å, 3.34Å, 3.27Å and 3.34Å respectively, which are within the error bar less than 5% with experimental values. The band gaps for all TMDCs are found to be of indirect types with semiconducting behaviours. The values of band gap of MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2 in bulk state are found to be 1.16eV, 108eV, 1.50eV and 1.29eV respectively which are comparable with experimental and previously calculated data. Due to the symmetric nature of up spin and down spin channels of Density of States (DOS) all the systems selected are found to be non magnetic. However it fully supports the results obtained from band structure calculations. The potential and charge distributions plots support the results. The charge density plots reveals the covalent nature of bond in (100) plane. However (110) plane shows mixed types of bonding.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 22, Issue 1, July 2017, page: 41-50

Abstract The structural and electronic properties of molecularly pillared graphene sheets were explored by performing Density Functional based Tight Binding calculations. Several different architectures were generated by varying the density of the pillars, the chemical composition of the organic molecule acting as a pillar and the pillar distribution. Our results show that by changing the pillars density and distribution we can tune the band gap transforming graphene from metallic to semiconducting in a continuous way. In addition, the chemical composition of the pillars affects the band gap in a lesser extent by introducing additional states in the valence or the conduction band and can act as a fine band gap tuning. These unique electronic properties controlled by design, makes Mollecular Pillared Graphene an excellent material for flexible electronics.
