Abstract

The geometric and electronic properties of silicene paired with a MoS2 substrate are studied systematically by using density functional theory with van der Waals corrections. It is found that the nearly linear band dispersions can be preserved in the heterobilayers due to the weak interface interactions. Meanwhile, the band gap is opened because of the sublattice symmetry broken by the intrinsic interface dipole. Moreover, the band gap values could be effectively modulated under an external electric field. Therefore, a way is paved for silicene–MoS2 heterobilayers to be candidate materials for logic circuits and photonic devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
