Black phosphorus (BP), a layered van der Waals (vdW) crystal, has unique in-plane band anisotropy and many resulting anisotropy properties such as the effective mass, electron mobility, optical absorption, thermal conductivity and plasmonic dispersion. However, whether anisotropic or isotropic charge screening exist in BP remains a controversial issue. Based on first-principles calculations, we study the screening properties in both of single-layer and bulk BP, especially concerning the role of doping. Without charge doping, the single-layer and bulk-phase BP show slight anisotropic screening. Electron and hole doping can increase the charge screening of BP and significantly change the relative static dielectric tensor elements along two different in-plane directions. We further study the charge density change induced by potassium (K) adatom near the BP surface, under different levels of charge doping. The calculated two-dimensional (2D) charge redistribution patterns also confirm that doping can greatly affect the screening feature and tip the balance between isotropic and anisotropic screening. We corroborate that screening in BP exhibit slight intrinsic anisotropy and doping has significant influence on its screening property.

We present the effect of different stacking orders on carrier transport properties of multi-layer black phosphorous. We consider three different stacking orders AAA, ABA and ACA, with increasing number of layers (from 2 to 6 layers). We employ a hier
archical approach in density functional theory (DFT), with structural simulations performed with Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and the bandstructure, carrier effective masses and optical properties evaluated with the Meta-Generalized Gradient Approximation (MGGA). The carrier transmission in the various black phosphorous sheets was carried out with the non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) approach. The results show that ACA stacking has the highest electron and hole transmission probabilities. The results show tunability for a wide range of band-gap, carrier effective masses and transmission with a great promise for lattice engineering (stacking order and layers) in black phosphorous.
We calculate the time evolution of the transient reflection signal in an MoS$_2$ monolayer on a SiO$_2$/Si substrate using first-principles out-of-equilibrium real-time methods. Our simulations provide a simple and intuitive physical picture for the
delayed, yet ultrafast, evolution of the signal whose rise time depends on the excess energy of the pump laser: at laser energies above the A- and B-exciton, the pump pulse excites electrons and holes far away from the K valleys in the first Brillouin zone. Electron-phonon and hole-phonon scattering lead to a gradual relaxation of the carriers towards small $textit{Active Excitonic Regions}$ around K, enhancing the dielectric screening. The accompanying time-dependent band gap renormalization dominates over Pauli blocking and the excitonic binding energy renormalization. This explains the delayed buildup of the transient reflection signal of the probe pulse, in excellent agreement with recent experimental data. Our results show that the observed delay is not a unique signature of an exciton formation process but rather caused by coordinated carrier dynamics and its influence on the screening.
Screening in reduced dimensions has strong consequences on the electronic properties in van der Waals semiconductors, impacting the quasiparticle band gap and exciton binding energy. Screening in these materials is typically treated isotropically, ye
t black phosphorus exhibits in-plane electronic anisotropy seen in its effective mass, carrier mobility, excitonic wavefunctions, and plasmonic dispersion. Here, we use the adsorption of individual potassium atoms on the surface of black phosphorus to vary the near-surface doping over a wide range, while simultaneously probing the dielectric screening via the ordering of the adsorbed atoms. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we visualize the role of strongly anisotropic screening which leads to the formation of potassium chains with a well-defined orientation and spacing. We quantify the mean interaction potential utilizing statistical methods and find that the dimensionality and anisotropy of the screening is consistent with the presence of a band-bending induced confinement potential near the surface. We corroborate the observed behavior with coverage-dependent studies of the electronic structure with angle-resolved photoemission.
Efficient ab initio computational methods for the calculation of thermoelectric transport properties of materials are of great avail for energy harvesting technologies. The BoltzTraP code has been largely used to efficiently calculate thermoelectric
coefficients. However, its current version that is publicly available is based only on the constant relaxation time (RT) approximation, which usually does not hold for real materials. Here, we extended the implementation of the BoltzTraP code by incorporating realistic k-dependent RT models of the temperature dependence of the main scattering processes, namely, screened polar and nonpolar scattering by optical phonons, scattering by acoustic phonons, and scattering by ionized impurities with screening. Our RT models are based on a smooth Fourier interpolation of Kohn-Sham eigenvalues and its derivatives, taking into account non-parabolicity (beyond the parabolic or Kane models), degeneracy and multiplicity of the energy bands on the same footing, within very low computational cost. In order to test our methodology, we calculated the anisotropic thermoelectric transport properties of low temperature phase (Pnma) of intrinsic p-type and hole-doped tin selenide (SnSe). Our results are in quantitative agreement with experimental data, regarding the evolution of the anisotropic thermoelectric coefficients with both temperature and chemical potential. Hence, from this picture, we also obtained the evolution and understanding of the main scattering processes of the overall thermoelectric transport in p-type SnSe.
The electrical behavior of Ni Schottky barrier formed onto heavily doped (ND>1019 cm-3) n-type phosphorous implanted silicon carbide (4H-SiC) was investigated, with a focus on the current transport mechanisms in both forward and reverse bias. The for
ward current-voltage characterization of Schottky diodes showed that the predominant current transport is a thermionic-field emission mechanism. On the other hand, the reverse bias characteristics could not be described by a unique mechanism. In fact, under moderate reverse bias, implantation-induced damage is responsible for the temperature increase of the leakage current, while a pure field emission mechanism is approached with bias increasing. The potential application of metal/4H-SiC contacts on heavily doped layers in real devices are discussed.
