N-type and p-type molecular doping on monolayer MoS₂.

ABSTRACT: Monolayer MoS₂ has attracted much attention due to its high on/off current ratio, transparency, and suitability for optoelectronic devices. Surface doping by molecular adsorption has proven to be an effective method to facilitate the usage of MoS₂. However, there are no works available to systematically clarify the effects of the adsorption of F₄TCNQ, PTCDA, and tetracene on the electronic and optical properties of the material. Therefore, this work elucidated the problem by using density functional theory calculations. We found that the adsorption of F₄TCNQ and PTCDA turns MoS₂ into a p-type semiconductor, while the tetracene converts MoS₂ into an n-type semiconductor. The occurrence of a new energy level in the conduction
