Abstract:
Recently, the two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained a lot of attention due to their potential applications such as sensors, solar cell, batteries, electronic, photodetectors, supercapacitors and spintronics. Specifically, spintronic applications are a new and intriguing topic for 2D materials. Dicalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of 2D materials that have attracted the attention of researchers for their unique physical properties, such as their intrinsic non-zero band gap. It is possible to change electronic properties from semiconductors to superconductors and has magnetic properties caused by transition metals. Therefore, this computational work studies the electronic, optical and magnetic properties of MoX2 monolayers (X= S and Se) doped with single and double transition metals atoms (V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) using density functional theory (DFT). The calculation results show that the electronic structures and magnetic properties are modulated by the embedded transition metal atoms, The types and quantity of doping transition metals affect the electronic and magnetic characteristics of MoX2 monolayers (X= S and Se). Finally, these systematic and theoretical findings open up a new avenue for designing half-metallic characteristics of MoX2 monolayers (X = S and Se) doped with transition metals in order to create spintronic devices based on transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers.
