Abstract

The application of the reported armchair transition-metal dichalcogenide (MoS2, MoTe2, MoSTe and WS2, etc.) nanotube is hindered for the optoelectronic devices due to the indirect band gap. By using first-principles calculations, the electronic structures of MoS2−xSex single-wall armchair nanotubes with respect to different diameters are investigated. The MoS2 armchair nanotube exhibits an indirect band gap as a function of nanotube diameters from 10 Å to 50 Å, whereas MoSSe and MoSe2 exhibit a surprising diameter-induced indirect–direct band gap crossover at the diameters of 25 Å and 33 Å, respectively. We also find that the optical properties of MoS2−xSex armchair nanotubes are anisotropic and strongly depend on the diameter.

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.
