Electronic and Magnetic Properties Modulated by Adsorption of 3d Transition Metal Atoms in Monolayer and Bilayer MoS2 Sheets

doi:10.1007/s40195-015-0265-1

Abstract

Abstract:

The adsorption effects of 3d transitional metal (TM) adatoms on electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer and bilayer MoS₂ sheets have been investigated by using first-principle calculations based on the density functional theory. The calculated results suggest that both monolayer and bilayer MoS₂ sheets have power abilities of absorbing 3d TM atoms. The interlayer adsorption of bilayer MoS₂ is relatively more stable than the surface adsorption of monolayer MoS₂. The 3d TM adatoms and the neighboring S atoms behave a clear covalent-binding character. It was found that TM adatoms induce certain impurity states within the band gap of the pristine MoS₂ sheet which result in the systems magnetically semiconducting or half metallic. The adsorbed systems for Cr and Co on the surface of monolayer MoS₂ sheet, as well as Sc, Cr and Fe in the interlayer of bilayer MoS₂ sheet exhibit half-metallic behavior. And the other 3d TM-adsorbed systems are magnetic semiconductor except for Ni species.

Key words: Transition, metals, Adsorption, Ab, initio, calculation
