Abstract
We conducted first-principles calculations to investigate the effect of doping monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with Cu in its structural, electronic, and optical properties. We found that Cu doping changes the material from an n-type semiconductor into a p-type semiconductor by shifting the Fermi energy level towards the valence band in all variations of concentration and site. The absorption coefficient, photoconductivity, and reflectivity calculations indicate that Cu-doped MoS2 is sensitive to violet light. In addition, Cu doping elevates the sensitivity of the material to low-energy light. These results show that Cu-doped MoS2 can be used in optoelectronic applications.
我们通过第一原理计算研究了单层二硫化钼(MoS2)掺杂铜对其结构、电子和光学特性的影响。我们发现,在所有浓度和位点变化中,铜的掺杂都会使费米能级向价带移动,从而使材料从 n 型半导体变成 p 型半导体。吸收系数、光导率和反射率计算表明,掺铜的 MoS2 对紫光很敏感。此外,掺铜还提高了材料对低能量光的敏感性。这些结果表明,掺铜的 MoS2 可用于光电应用。
