Janus MoSH/WSi₂N₄ van der Waals Heterostructure: Two-Dimensional Metal/Semiconductor Contact.

ABSTRACT: Constructing heterostructures from already synthesized two-dimensional materials is of significant importance. We performed a first-principles study to investigate the electronic properties and interfacial characteristics of Janus MoSH/WSi₂N₄ van der Waals heterostructure (vdWH) contacts. We demonstrate that the p-type Schottky formed by MoSH/WSi₂N₄ and MoHS/WSi₂N₄ has extremely low Schottky barrier heights (SBHs). Due to its excellent charge injection efficiency, Janus MoSH may be regarded as an effective metal contact for WSi₂N₄ semiconductors. Furthermore, the interfacial characteristics and electronic structure of Janus MoSH/WSi₂N₄ vdWHs can not only reduce/eliminate SBH, but a
