摘要:

MoS $_2$的晶体结构在平面内具有强共价键,在平面外具有弱范德华相互作用,这引起了诸如固体润滑、光电子学和催化等应用的有趣特性,这可以通过过渡金属掺杂来增强。然而,改善的机制,甚至掺杂材料的结构可能是不清楚的,我们解决与理论计算。在我们以前的工作上Ni掺杂的散装2 H相的基础上,现在我们比较多型体(1H单层和3R散装),以确定有利的网站Ni和掺杂对结构,电子性质和层的解离能的影响。最有利的嵌入/吸附原子的网站是四面体嵌入3R(如2 H)和Mo-顶部的1H。相对能量表明,Mo或S的取代可能导致2 H到3R的相变。我们发现的结构和电子特性,可用于识别掺杂位点,包括金属行为的Mo取代的3R和2 H,和间隙状态的Mo和S取代的1H,这可能有有趣的光电应用。我们观察到一个大的增强层间相互作用的Ni掺杂的MoS $_2$,与其他过渡金属的效果相反。对于润滑应用,这种增加的层离解能可能是低磨损的机制。我们系统的研究表明,掺杂浓度的影响,我们推断到低掺杂的限制。这项工作提供了深入了解以前不清楚的结构Ni掺杂的MoS $_2$,以及如何可以通过实验检测,掺杂的单层和散装系统的能量和结构的关系,掺杂下的电子性质,以及掺杂对层间相互作用的影响。

英文摘要:

The crystal structure of MoS$_2$ with strong covalent bonds in plane and weak Van der Waals interactions out of plane gives rise to interesting properties for applications such as solid lubrication, optoelectronics, and catalysis, which can be enhanced by transition-metal doping. However, the mechanisms for improvement and even the structure of the doped material can be unclear, which we address with theoretical calculations. Building on our previous work on Ni-doping of the bulk 2H phase, now we compare to polytypes (1H monolayer and 3R bulk), to determine favorable sites for Ni and the doping effect on structure, electronic properties, and the layer dissociation energy. The most favorable intercalation/adatom sites are tetrahedral intercalation for 3R (like 2H) and Mo-atop for 1H. The relative energies indicate a possibility of phase change from 2H to 3R with substitution of Mo or S. We find structural and electronic properties that can be used to identify the doping sites, including metallic behavior in Mo-substituted 3R and 2H, and in-gap states for Mo- and S-substituted 1H, which could have interesting optoelectronic applications. We observe a large enhancement in the interlayer interactions of Ni-doped MoS$_2$, opposite to the effect of other transition metals. For lubrication applications, this increased layer dissociation energy could be the mechanism of low wear. Our systematic study shows the effect of doping concentration and we extrapolate to the low-doping limit. This work gives insight into the previously unclear structure of Ni-doped MoS$_2$ and how it can be detected experimentally, the relation of energy and structures of doped monolayers and bulk systems, the electronic properties under doping, and the effect of doping on interlayer interactions.
