First-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT) have been carried out to investigate the adsorption of various gas molecules including CO, CO2, NH3, NO and NO2 on MoS2 monolayer in order to fully exploit the gas sensing capabilities of MoS2. By including van der Waals (vdW) interactions between gas molecules and MoS2, we find that only NO and NO2 can bind strongly to MoS2 sheet with large adsorption energies, which is in line with experimental observations. The charge transfer and the variation of electronic structures are discussed in view of the density of states and molecular orbitals of the gas molecules. Our results thus provide a theoretical basis for the potential applications of MoS2 monolayer in gas sensing and give an explanation for recent experimental findings.

We perform high quality, first principles calculations of the properties of Pb and Tl isolated monolayers. Among these, we consider the equilibrium lattice constant, the two dimensional compressibilities and the electronic density. Comparison is made
with previous results obtained using more simplified models. The present results represent an improvement concerning the calculated compressibilities; these remaining still lower than the measured values. We speculate that the latter could be due to some corrugation of the monolayer, not considered in the present modeling.
Thermal transport properties at the metal/MoS2 interfaces are analyzed by using an atomistic phonon transport model based on the Landauer formalism and first-principles calculations. The considered structures include chemisorbed Sc(0001)/MoS2 and Ru(
0001)/MoS2, physisorbed Au(111)/MoS2, as well as Pd(111)/MoS2 with intermediate characteristics. Calculated results illustrate a distinctive dependence of thermal transfer on the details of interfacial microstructures. More specifically, the chemisorbed case with a stronger bonding exhibits a generally smaller interfacial thermal resistance than the physisorbed. Comparison between metal/MoS2 and metal/graphene systems suggests that metal/MoS2 is significantly more resistive. Further examination of lattice dynamics identifies the presence of multiple distinct atomic planes and bonding patterns at the interface as the key origin of the observed large thermal resistance.
A two dimensional (2D) Group-VI Te monolayer, tellurene, is predicted by using the first-principles calculations, which consists of planner four-membered and chair-like six-membered rings arranged alternately in a 2D lattice. The phonon spectra calcu
lations, combined with ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, demonstrate that tellurene is kinetically very stable. The tellurene shows a desirable direct band gap of 1.04 eV and its band structure can be effectively tuned by strain. The effective mass calculations imply that tellurene should also exhibit a relatively high carrier mobility, e.g. compared with MoS2. The significant direct band gap and the high carrier mobility imply that tellurene is a very promising candidate for a new generation of nanoelectronic devices.
Because of their strong excitonic photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL), together with an excellent electronic tunability, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors are promising candidates for novel optoelectronic devices. I
n recent years, several concepts for light emission from two-dimensional (2D) materials have been demonstrated. Most of these concepts are based on the recombination of electrons and holes in a pn-junction, either along the lateral direction using split-gate geometries in combination with monolayer TMDs, or by precisely stacking different 2D semiconductors on top of each other, in order to fabricate vertical van der Waals heterostructures, working as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Further, EL was also observed along the channel of ionic liquid gated field-effect transistors (FETs) under ambipolar carrier injection. Another mechanism, which has been studied extensively in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and more recently also in graphene, is thermal light emission as a result of Joule heating. Although the resulting efficiencies are smaller than that of LEDs based on ambipolar electron-hole injection, these experiments provide valuable insights into microscopic processes, such as electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interactions, and the behavior of low-dimensional materials under strong bias in general.
The engineered spin structures recently built and measured in scanning tunneling microscope experiments are calculated using density functional theory. By determining the precise local structure around the surface impurities, we find the Mn atoms can
form molecular structures with the binding surface, behaving like surface molecular magnets. The spin structures are confirmed to be antiferromagnetic, and the exchange couplings are calculated within 8% of the experimental values simply by collinear-spin GGA+U calculations. We can also explain why the exchange couplings significantly change with different impurity binding sites from the determined local structure. The bond polarity is studied by calculating the atomic charges with and without the Mn adatoms.
