The differences in the behavior of Re (n-type) and Au (p-type) dopant atoms in single-layered MoS2 were investigated by in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy. Re atoms tend to occupy Mo sites, while Au atoms exist as adatoms and show larger mobility under the electron beam. Re substituted to Mo site showed enhanced chemical affinity, evidenced by agglomeration of Re adatoms around these sites. This may explain the difficulties in achieving a high compositional rate of homogeneous Re doping in MoS2. In addition, an in situ coverage experiment together with density functional theory calculations discovered a high surface reactivity and agglomeration of other impurity atoms such as carbon at the Re doped sites.

We present a photoluminescence study of freestanding and Si/SiO2 supported single- and few-layer MoS2. The single-layer exciton peak (A) is only observed in freestanding MoS2. The photoluminescence of supported single-layer MoS2 is instead originatin
g from the A- (trion) peak as the MoS2 is n-type doped from the substrate. In bilayer MoS2, the van der Waals interaction with the substrate is decreasing the indirect band gap energy by up to ~ 80 meV. Furthermore, the photoluminescence spectra of suspended MoS2 can be influenced by interference effects.
The electron-phonon coupling strength in the spin-split valence band maximum of single-layer MoS$_2$ is studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory-based calculations. Values of the electron-phonon coupling p
arameter $lambda$ are obtained by measuring the linewidth of the spin-split bands as a function of temperature and fitting the data points using a Debye model. The experimental values of $lambda$ for the upper and lower spin-split bands at K are found to be 0.05 and 0.32, respectively, in excellent agreement with the calculated values for a free-standing single-layer MoS$_2$. The results are discussed in the context of spin and phase-space restricted scattering channels, as reported earlier for single-layer WS$_2$ on Au(111). The fact that the absolute valence band maximum in single-layer MoS$_2$ at K is almost degenerate with the local valence band maximum at $Gamma$ can potentially be used to tune the strength of the electron-phonon interaction in this material.
The precise positioning of dopant atoms within bulk crystal lattices could enable novel applications in areas including solid-state sensing and quantum computation. Established scanning probe techniques are capable tools for the manipulation of surfa
ce atoms, but at a disadvantage due to their need to bring a physical tip into contact with the sample. This has prompted interest in electron-beam techniques, followed by the first proof-of-principle experiment of bismuth dopant manipulation in crystalline silicon. Here, we use first principles modeling to discover a novel indirect exchange mechanism that allows electron impacts to non-destructively move dopants with atomic precision within the silicon lattice. However, this mechanism only works for the two heaviest group V donors with split-vacancy configurations, Bi and Sb. We verify our model by directly imaging these configurations for Bi, and by demonstrating that the promising nuclear spin qubit Sb can be manipulated using a focused electron beam.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) of single and few-layer thickness was exfoliated on SiO2/Si substrate and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The number of S-Mo-S layers of the samples was independently determined by contact-mode atomic-force microscopy
. Two Raman modes, E12g and A1g, exhibited sensitive thickness dependence, with the frequency of the former decreasing and that of the latter increasing with thickness. The results provide a convenient and reliable means for determining layer thickness with atomic-level precision. The opposite direction of the frequency shifts, which cannot be explained solely by van der Waals interlayer coupling, is attributed to Coulombic interactions and possible stacking-induced changes of the intralayer bonding. This work exemplifies the evolution of structural parameters in layered materials in changing from the 3-dimensional to the 2-dimensional regime.
The ability to perform efficient electrical spin injection from ferromagnetic metals into two-dimensional semiconductor crystals based on transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers is a prerequisite for spintronic and valleytronic devices using these
materials. Here, the hcp Co(0001)/MoS2 interface electronic structure is investigated by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. In the lowest energy configuration of the hybrid system after optimization of the atomic coordinates, we show that interface sulfur atoms are covalently bound to one, two or three cobalt atoms. A decrease of the Co atom spin magnetic moment is observed at the interface, together with a small magnetization of S atoms. Mo atoms also hold small magnetic moments which can take positive as well as negative values. The charge transfers due to covalent bonding between S and Co atoms at the interface have been calculated for majority and minority spin electrons and the connections between these interface charge transfers and the induced magnetic properties of the MoS2 layer are discussed. Band structure and density of states of the hybrid system are calculated for minority and majority spin electrons, taking into account spin-orbit coupling. We demonstrate that MoS2 bound to the Co contact becomes metallic due to hybridization between Co d and S p orbitals. For this metallic phase of MoS2, a spin polarization at the Fermi level of 16 % in absolute value is calculated, that could allow spin injection into the semiconducting MoS2 monolayer channel. Finally, the symmetry of the majority and minority spin electron wave functions at the Fermi level in the Co-bound metallic phase of MoS2 and the orientation of the border between the metallic and semiconducting phases of MoS2 are investigated, and their impact on spin injection into the MoS2 channel is discussed.
