Effects of Strain and Electric Field on Molecular Doping in MoSSe.

ABSTRACT: Recently, synthesized Janus MoSSe monolayers have attracted tremendous attention in science and technology due to their novel properties and promising applications. In this work, we investigate their molecular adsorption-induced structural and electronic properties and tunable doping effects under biaxial strain and external electric field by first-principles calculations. We find an effective n-type or p-type doping in the MoSSe monolayer caused by noncovalent tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) or tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) molecular adsorption. Moreover, the concentration of doping carrier with respect to the S or Se side also exhibits Janus characteristics because of the electronegativity difference between S and Se atoms and the intrinsic dipole moment in the MoSSe monolayer. In particular,
