In this computational work based on density functional theory we study the electronic and electron transport properties of asymmetric multi-layer MoSSe junctions, known as Janus junctions. Focusing on 4-layer systems, we investigate the influence of electric field, electrostatic doping, strain, and interlayer stacking on the electronic structure. We discover that a metal to semiconductor transition can be induced by an out-of-plane electric field. The critical electric field for such a transition can be reduced by in-plane biaxial compressive strain. Due to an intrinsic electric field, a 4-layer MoSSe can rectify out-of-plane electric current. The rectifying ratio reaches 34.1 in a model junction Zr/4-layer MoSSe/Zr. This ratio can be further enhanced by increasing the number of MoSSe layers. In addition, we show a drastic sudden vertical compression of 4-layer MoSSe due to in-plane biaxial tensile strain, indicating a second phase transition. Furthermore, an odd-even effect on electron transmission at the Fermi energy for Zr/$n$-layer MoSSe/Zr junctions with $n=1, , 2,, 3, ,dots,, 10$ is observed. These findings reveal the richness of physics in this asymmetric system and strongly suggest that the properties of 4-layer MoSSe are highly tunable, thus providing a guide to future experiments relating materials research and nanoelectronics.

The interlayer coupling in van der Waals heterostructures governs a variety of optical and electronic properties. The intrinsic dipole moment of Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offers a simple and versatile approach to tune the interlay
er interactions. In this work, we demonstrate how the van der Waals interlayer coupling and charge transfer of Janus MoSSe/MoS2 heterobilayers can be tuned by the twist angle and interface composition. Specifically, the Janus heterostructures with a sulfur/sulfur (S/S) interface display stronger interlayer coupling than the heterostructures with a selenium/sulfur (Se/S) interface as shown by the low-frequency Raman modes. The differences in interlayer interactions are explained by the interlayer distance computed by density-functional theory (DFT). More intriguingly, the built-in electric field contributed by the charge density redistribution and interlayer coupling also play important roles in the interfacial charge transfer. Namely, the S/S and Se/S interfaces exhibit different levels of PL quenching of MoS2 A exciton, suggesting the enhanced and reduced charge transfer at the S/S and Se/S interface, respectively. Our work demonstrates how the asymmetry of Janus TMDs can be used to tailor the interfacial interactions in van der Waals heterostructures.
Two-dimensional (2D) Janus transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have great potential for photocatalytic water splitting due to their novel properties induced by the unique out-of-plane asymmetric structures. Here, we systematically investigate
the geometric, electronic and optical properties of 2D Janus MoSSe with titanium doping and vacancies to explore their synergistic effects on photocatalytic activity. We find that there are effective attractions between the substituted or adsorbed Ti atoms and S/Se vacancies. The Ti adatoms dramatically extend the light absorption range to infrared region. The S/Se vacancies coexisting with Ti adatoms will modulate the transition of photo-excited electrons, thereby enhancing the sunlight absorption. The Ti adatoms either existing alone or coexisting with vacancies introduce smaller lattice distortion compared to substituted Ti atoms and these Ti adatoms induce smaller effective mass of charge carriers. The configuration of S vacancy coexisting with Ti adatoms on Se-surface exhibits the most significant synergistic effects and best overall photocatalytic performance. Our work reveals the mechanism and effects induced by doping and vacancies coexisting in 2D Janus TMDCs, also propose a new practical strategy to improve the performance of 2D photocatalysts.
The inter-Landau level transitions observed in far-infrared transmission experiments on few-layer graphene samples show a behaviour characteristic of the linear dispersion expected in graphene. This behaviour persists in relatively thick samples, and
is qualitatively different from that of thin samples of bulk graphite.
Long-range magnetic orders in atomically thin ferromagnetic CrI3 give rise to new fascinating physics and application perspectives. The physical properties of two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetism CrI3 are significantly influenced by interlayer spacing
and stacking order, which are sensitive to the hydrostatic pressure and external environments. However, there remains debate on the stacking order at low temperature. Here, we study the interlayer coupling and stacking order of non-encapsulated 2-5 layer and bulk CrI3 at 10 K by Raman spectroscopy; demonstrate a rhombohedral stacking in both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic CrI3. The opposite helicity dependence of Ag and Eg modes arising from phonon symmetry further validate the rhombohedral stacking. An anomalous temperature-dependent behavior is observed due to spin-phonon coupling below 60 K. Our work provides insights into the interlayer coupling and stacking orders of 2D ferromagnetic materials.
A single atomic slice of {alpha}-tin-stanene-has been predicted to host quantum spin Hall effect at room temperature, offering an ideal platform to study low-dimensional and topological physics. While recent research has intensively focused on monola
yer stanene, the quantum size effect in few-layer stanene could profoundly change material properties, but remains unexplored. By exploring the layer degree of freedom, we unexpectedly discover superconductivity in few-layer stanene down to a bilayer grown on PbTe, while bulk {alpha}-tin is not superconductive. Through substrate engineering, we further realize a transition from a single-band to a two-band superconductor with a doubling of the transition temperature. In-situ angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) together with first-principles calculations elucidate the corresponding band structure. Interestingly, the theory also indicates the existence of a topologically nontrivial band. Our experimental findings open up novel strategies for constructing two-dimensional topological superconductors.
