A First-Principles Perspective on Two-Dimensional Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides — •Udo Schwingenschlögl — KAUST, PSE Division, Thuwal 23955-6900, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides recently are attracting great attention, because of the possibility to achieve two-dimensional (2D) materials, similar to the exfoliation of graphene from graphite. Using first-principles calculations, we study prototypical monolayer MoS₂ to obtain insight into the influence of defects and substitutional doping, for a wide range of transition-metal dopants. We also address polar transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers with respect to their structural stability and the effects of the spin-orbit coupling. Heterojunctions of MoS₂ with unsaturated and saturated MXenes are studied; such hyrid systems are interesting for application in all-2D devices.
