Abstract:
Using first-principle calculations, we investigate the impact of strain on the electronic structures and effective masses of Janus WSTe and MoSTe monolayers. The calculations were performed using the QUANTUM-ESPRESSO package, employing the PBE and HSE06 functionals. Our results demonstrate that strain fundamentally changes the electronic structures of the Janus WSTe and MoSTe monolayers. We observe that deformation causes a shift in the maxima and minima of the valence and conduction bands, respectively. We find that the effective electrons and hole masses of MoSTe and WSTe can be changed by deformation. In addition, the strain's effect on carrier mobility is also investigated in this work via the deformation potential theory.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
