Abstract
First-principles are employed to investigate the stability of monolayer PtS2, ZrS2, and the heterostructure of PtS2/ZrS2, along with their related optoelectronic properties. The binding energies of six stacking configurations of the heterostructures were calculated, and the stacking structure with the lowest binding energy is selected to further verify the stability of the molecular dynamics. The heterostructure under shear strain has effectively regulated the band gap, dielectric function, and light absorption while consistently maintaining a type II band alignment. After applying shear strain, the static dielectric constants of the monolayer PtS2, ZrS2, and PtS2/ZrS2 heterostructure increased by 27%, 23%, and 20%, respectively. Compared to the two monolayer structures, the shear-modified heterostructure exhibits a smaller band gap and a higher absorption coefficient, thereby broadening the application of the PtS2/ZrS2 heterostructure in electronic and optical engineering.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
