摘要
The influence of Cr-doping on mono/bilayer MoTe2 nanostructures is studied within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) since doping may be used to effectively tailor the electronic and optical characteristics in a desired manner. Chromium (Cr) seems to modify the electronic properties and energy band gap of MoTe2 considerably. At first, we confirmed the stability of the proposed structure with the support of cohesive formation energy and phonon-band-spectrum. Moreover, doping with Cr on MoTe2 produces a red shift towards far infrared region in the absorption coefficient, thus making it suitable for far infra-red region applications. Hence, Cr doping is employed in this work. When Cr impurities are substituted in pristine MoTe2 nanostructures, the band structure gets modified. Additionally, the band gap of mono/bilayer MoTe2 nanostructures reduces from 1.143/ 0.74 eV for pristine MoTe2 to 0.807/0.621 eV for 8 % substitution of Cr. By examining absorption spectra, it was found that the optical characteristics of mono/bilayer MoTe2 changed significantly with doping of Cr impurities. The results of this study provide insight into the band structure, optical, and electronic attributes of mono/ bilayer MoTe2 nanostructures that could be further fine-tuned for optoelectronic applications using substitution of Cr impurities.
