“…Also, the different structures of vertical and in‐plane heterostructures make their properties diverse. Amin et al theoretically reported that vertical and in‐plane MoS 2 –WS 2 , MoSe 2 –WSe 2 , and MoTe 2 –WTe 2 heterostructures exhibit obvious different electronic and optical properties . As for the electronic properties, all three vertical heterostructures have indirect bandgaps.…”

Two-dimensional materials draw further attention because of their superior properties applicable in novel technologies. We have calculated the optical properties of α and β allotropes of antimonene monolayers. The dielectric matrix has been calculated within the random phase approximation (RPA) using density functional theory. We have calculated dielectric function, absorption coefficient, refractive index, electronic energy loss spectroscopy and optical reflectivity in the energy range between 0 and 21 eV. Our simulations predict that absorption process starts in the infrared, but peaks in the ultraviolet. Refractive indices are 2.3 (α-Sb) and 1.5 (β-Sb) at the zero energy limit and scale up to 3.6 in the ultraviolet. Reflection rises up to 86% at the UV energies, where antimonene behaves like a metal regarding the incident electromagnetic radiation. Our calculations show that antimonene is appropriate as a material for the microelectronic and optoelectronics nanodevices and solar cell applications, as well as new optical applications using various light emission, detection, modulation and manipulation functions.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as attractive direct bandgap semiconducting materials with remarkable properties. Recently, TMDC-based electronic and optoelectronic systems have been demonstrated with various chemical doping and functionalization approaches for modulating their physical properties and enhancing device performances. However, the dependence of intrinsic properties of TMDCs on diverse solvents, which are used necessarily in fabrication processes and chemical doping, remains largely unaddressed. Here we report a charge transfer mechanism in TMDCs by commonly used solvents such as chloroform, toluene, acetone, and 2-propanol, which significantly changes the physical properties of monolayer MoS2 and WSe2. We find that the relative difference in electronegativity between solvents and TMDCs drives the transfer of electrons from or to the TMDCs, which results in photoluminescence (PL) enhancement or quenching depending on the change of carrier density in TMDCs. The analysis of exciton and trion spectral weights in MoS2 as a function of solvent electronegativity provides evidence of charge transfer. Finally, conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) on TMDCs before and after immersion in the solvents further supports the charge transfer mechanism and resulting changes in carrier density. Our results highlight the importance of selection of solvents for solution-processed 2D TMDC devices and systems.
