Two-dimensional (2D) MoS$_2$ has been intensively investigated for its use in the fields of microelectronics, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronics. However, intrinsic 2D MoS$_2$ is usually used as the n-type semiconductor due to the unintentional sulphur vacancies and surface gas adsorption.The synthesis and characterization of 2D MoS$_2$ semiconductor of p-type are crucial for the development of relevant p-n junction devices, as well as the practical applications of 2D MoS$_2$ in the next-generation CMOS integrated circuit. Here, we synthesize high-quality, wafer-scale, 2D p-type MoS$_2$ (Mo$_{1-x}$Nb$_x$S$_2$) with various niobium (Nb) mole fractions from 0 to 7.6% by a creative two-step method. The dielectric functions of 2D Mo1-xNbxS2 are accurately determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry. We find that the increasing fraction of Nb dopant in 2D MoS$_2$ can modulate and promote the combination of A and B exciton peaks of 2D MoS$_2$. The direct causes of this impurity-tunable combination are interpreted as the joint influence of decreasing peak A and broadening peak B. We explain the broadening peak B as the multiple transitions from the impurity-induced valance bands to the conductive band minimum at K point of Brillouin zone by comparing and analyzing the simulated electronic structure of intrinsic and 2D Nb-doped MoS$_2$. A p-type FET based on the 2D Nb-doped MoS$_2$ was fabricated for characterization, and its working performance is expected to be adjustable as a function of concentration of Nb dopant according to our theoretical research. Our study is informative for comprehending optical and electronic properties of extrinsic 2D transitional metal dichalcogenides, which is important and imperative for the development and optimization of corresponding photonics and optoelectronics devices.

Time-resolved diffuse scattering experiments have gained increasing attention due to their potential to reveal non-equilibrium dynamics of crystal lattice vibrations with full momentum resolution. Although progress has been made in interpreting exper imental data on the basis of one-phonon scattering, understanding the role of individual phonons can be sometimes hindered by multi-phonon excitations. In Ref. [arXiv:2103.10108] we have introduced a rigorous approach for the calculation of the all-phonon inelastic scattering intensity of solids from first-principles. In the present work, we describe our implementation in detail and show that multi-phonon interactions are captured efficiently by exploiting translational and time-reversal symmetries of the crystal. We demonstrate its predictive power by calculating the diffraction patterns of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$), bulk MoS$_2$, and black phosphorus (bP), and we obtain excellent agreement with our measurements of thermal electron diffuse scattering. Remarkably, our results show that multi-phonon excitations dominate in bP across multiple Brillouin zones, while in MoS$_2$ play a less pronounced role. We expand our analysis for each system and we examine the effect of individual atomic and interatomic vibrational motion on the diffuse scattering signals. Our findings indicate that distinct features are explained by the collective displacement of MoS and specific pairs of P atoms. We further demonstrate that the special displacement method reproduces the thermally distorted configuration which generates precisely the all-phonon diffraction pattern. The present methodology opens the way for high-throughput calculations of the scattering intensity in crystals and the accurate interpretation of static and time-resolved diffuse scattering experiments.
We discuss here the effect of band nesting and topology on the spectrum of excitons in a single layer of MoS$_2$, a prototype transition metal dichalcogenide material. We solve for the single particle states using the ab initio based tight-binding mo del containing metal $d$ and sulfur $p$ orbitals. The metal orbitals contribution evolving from $K$ to $Gamma$ points results in conduction-valence band nesting and a set of second minima at $Q$ points in the conduction band. There are three $Q$ minima for each $K$ valley. We accurately solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation including both $K$ and $Q$ points and obtain ground and excited exciton states. We determine the effects of the electron-hole single particle energies including band nesting, direct and exchange screened Coulomb electron-hole interactions and resulting topological magnetic moments on the exciton spectrum. The ability to control different contributions combined with accurate calculations of the ground and excited exciton states allows for the determination of the importance of different contributions and a comparison with effective mass and $kcdot p$ massive Dirac fermion models.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) nanosheet is a two-dimensional material with high electron mobility and with high potential for applications in catalysis and electronics. We synthesized MoS$_2$ nanosheets using a one-pot wet-chemical synthesis route w ith and without Re-doping. Atom probe tomography revealed that 3.8 at.% Re is homogeneously distributed within the Re-doped sheets. Other impurities are found also integrated within the material: light elements including C, N, O, and Na, locally enriched up to 0.1 at.%, as well as heavy elements such as V and W. Analysis of the non-doped sample reveals that the W and V likely originate from the Mo precursor.
Solid-state thermoelectric cooling is expected to be widely used in various cryogenic applications such as local cooling of superconducting devices. At present, however, thermoelectric cooling using p- and n-type Bi2Te3-based materials has been put t o practical use only at room temperature. Recently, M4SiTe4 (M = Ta, Nb) has been found to show excellent n-type thermoelectric properties down to 50 K. This paper reports on the synthesis of high-performance p-type M4SiTe4 by Ti doping, which can be combined with n-type M4SiTe4 in a cooling device at low temperatures. The thermoelectric power factor of p-type M4SiTe4 reaches a maximum value of approximately 60 uW cm-1 K-2 at 210 K and exceeds the practical level in a wide temperature range of 130-270 K. A finite temperature drop by Peltier cooling was also achieved in a cooling device made of p- and n-type Ta4SiTe4 whisker crystals. These results clearly indicate that M4SiTe4 is promising to realize a practical thermoelectric cooler for use at low temperatures, which are not covered by Bi2Te3-based materials.
A recent 2D spinFET concept proposes to switch electrostatically between two separate sublayers with strong and opposite intrinsic Rashba effects. This concept exploits the spin-layer locking mechanism present in centrosymmetric materials with local dipole fields, where a weak electric field can easily manipulate just one of the spin channels. Here, we propose a novel monolayer material within this family, lutetium oxide iodide (LuIO). It displays one of the largest Rashba effects among 2D materials (up to $k_R = 0.08$ {AA}$^{-1}$), leading to a $pi/2$ rotation of the spins over just 1 nm. The monolayer had been predicted to be exfoliable from its experimentally-known 3D bulk counterpart, with a binding energy even lower than graphene. We characterize and model with first-principles simulations the interplay of the two gate-controlled parameters for such devices: doping and spin channel selection. We show that the ability to split the spin channels in energy diminishes with doping, leading to specific gate-operation guidelines that can apply to all devices based on spin-layer locking.
