MoS2 Metal-oxide-Semiconductor

PROBLEM:

  • How does gate voltage affect the 2D material?
  • OBJECTIVE:

  • Study the band structure change under the gate voltage.
  • APPROACH:

    • Schrodinger-Poisson solved.
    • Wannier function basis is used for device Hamiltonian.

    RESULT/IMPACT:

    • DFT–equivalent, but efficient Hamiltonian used to accurately describe MoS2 devices
    • Band offsets are function of gate voltages and layer thickness
    • Valley wave functions differ significantly in their spatial distribution
    • Different gate response of the 2 conduction band valleys. This can serve for switching device applications
