The doping and strain effects on the electron transport of monolayer MoS_2 are systematically investigated using the first-principles calculations with Boltzmann transport theory. We estimate the mobility has a maximum 275 cm^2/(Vs) in the low doping level under the strain-free condition. The applying a small strain (3%) can improve the maximum mobility to 1150 cm^2/(Vs) and the strain effect is more significant in the high doping level. We demonstrate that the electric resistance mainly due to the electron transition between K and Q valleys scattered by the M momentum phonons. However, the strain can effectively suppress this type of electron-phonon coupling by changing the energy difference between the K and Q valleys. This sensitivity of mobility to the external strain may direct the improving electron transport of MoS_2.

Self-assembled topological structures of post-processed two-dimensional materials exhibit novel physical properties distinct from those of their parent materials. Herein, the critical role of desulphurization on self-assembled topological morphologie s of molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_2$) monolayer sheets is explored using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD results show that there are differences in atomic energetics of $MoS_2$ monolayer sheets with different desulphurization contents. Both free-standing and substrate-hosted $MoS_2$ monolayer sheets show diversity in topological structures such as flat surface, wrinkles, folds and scrolls, depending on the desulphurization contents, planar dimensions and ratios of length-to-width of $MoS_2$ monolayer sheets. Particularly, at the critical desulphurization contents, they roll up into nanotube morphology, consistent with previous experimental observations. Moreover, the observed differences in the molecular morphological diagrams between free-standing and substrate-hosted $MoS_2$ monolayer sheets can be attributed to unique interatomic interactions and van der Waals interactions in them. The study provides important insights into functionalizing structural morphological properties of two-dimensional materials, e.g., $MoS_2$, via defect engineering.
The effects of Cu-doping on the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCuxO3 (0 < x < 0.20) have been studied using neutron diffraction, magnetization and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. All samples show the rhombohedra l structure with the R3c space-group from 10K to room temperature (RT). Neutron diffraction data suggest that some of the Cu ions have a Cu3+ state in these compounds. The substitution of Mn by Cu affects the Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle resulting from the minimization of the distortion of the MnO6 octahedron. Resistivity measurements show that a metal to insulator transition occurs for the x more than 0.15 samples. The x = 0.15 sample shows the highest MR(_80%), which might result from the co-existence of Cu3+/Cu2+ and the dilution effect of Cu-doping on the double exchange interaction.
Experimentally synthesized $mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ (textcolor[rgb]{0.00,0.00,1.00}{Science 369, 670-674 (2020)}) is a piezoelectric semiconductor. Here, we systematically study the large biaxial (isotropic) strain effects (0.90 to 1.10) on electronic str uctures and transport coefficients of monolayer $mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ by density functional theory (DFT). With $a/a_0$ from 0.90 to 1.10, the energy band gap firstly increases, and then decreases, which is due to transformation of conduction band minimum (CBM). Calculated results show that the $mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$ monolayer is mechanically stable in considered strain range. It is found that the spin-orbital coupling (SOC) effects on Seebeck coefficient depend on the strain. In unstrained $mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$, the SOC has neglected influence on Seebeck coefficient. However, the SOC can produce important influence on Seebeck coefficient, when the strain is applied, for example 0.96 strain. The compressive strain can change relative position and numbers of conduction band extrema (CBE), and then the strength of conduction bands convergence can be enhanced, to the benefit of n-type $ZT_e$. Only about 0.96 strain can effectively improve n-type $ZT_e$. Our works imply that strain can effectively tune the electronic structures and transport coefficients of monolayer $mathrm{MoSi_2N_4}$, and can motivate farther experimental exploration.
Applying external strain is an efficient way to manipulate the site preference of dopants in semiconductors, however, the validity of the previous continuum elastic model for the strain influence on the doping forma- tion energy is still under debate . In this paper, by combining quantum mechanical theoretical analysis and first-principles calculations, we show that if the occupation change of different orbitals caused by the strain is negligible, the continuum elastic model is valid, otherwise it will fail. Our theory is confirmed by first-principles calculation of Mn-doped GaAs system. Moreover, we show that under compressive strain the hole density, thus the Curie temperature TC can increase in Mn-doped spintronic materials.
Contrary to the common belief that electron-electron interaction (EEI) should be negligible in s-orbital-based conductors, we demonstrated that the EEI effect could play a significant role on electronic transport leading to the misinterpretation of t he Hall data. We show that the EEI effect is primarily responsible for an increase in the Hall coefficient in the La-doped SrSnO3 films below 50 K accompanied by an increase in the sheet resistance. The quantitative analysis of the magnetoresistance (MR) data yielded a large phase coherence length of electrons exceeding 450 nm at 1.8 K and revealed the electron-electron interaction being accountable for breaking of electron phase coherency in La-doped SrSnO3 films. These results while providing critical insights into the fundamental transport behavior in doped stannates also indicate the potential applications of stannates in quantum coherent electronic devices owing to their large phase coherence length.
