Abstract
The electronic transport characteristics of tungsten disulfide (WS2) sheets are studied using the ensemble Monte Carlo technique in the presence of intrinsic scattering mechanisms only. The transport properties of the material are obtained in a two-valley model where intra- and inter-valley scatterings are considered in K and Q valleys. The velocity overshoot effect is observed for some applied field values. Negative differential phenomena are seen for some values of the energy difference between K and Q valleys (ΔEKQ), therefore ΔEKQ and the effective mass of carriers in the Q valley has a critical role in the transport and mobility characteristics of WS2. The mobility of carriers is calculated as a function of temperature and the results are compatible with some existing theoretical and experimental predictions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
