Exploring the Influence of Dynamic Disorder on Transport Gap in Solid Pentacene

Zhiping Wang, Sahar Sharifzadeh, Zhenfei Liu +2

We combine a GW approach and ab initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) simulations to study the impact of thermal effects on transport gap in solid pentacene (C22H14). The dynamic disord…

Ferroelectricity in [111]-oriented epitaxially strained SrTiO from first principles

Sebastian E. Reyes-Lillo, Karin M. Rabe, Jeffrey B. Neaton

We use first principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the effect of biaxial strain in the low-temperature structural and ferroelectric properties of [111]-o…

Transport signatures of surface states in a Weyl semimetal: evidence of field driven Fermi arc interferometry

Nityan L. Nair, Marie-Eve Boulanger, Francis Laliberté +8

A signature property of Weyl semimetals is the existence of topologically protected surface states - arcs in momentum space that connect Weyl points in the bulk. However, the prese…

Identifying substitutional oxygen as a prolific point defect in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with experiment and theory

Sara Barja, Sivan Refaely-Abramson, Bruno Schuler +17

Chalcogen vacancies are considered to be the most abundant point defects in two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors, and predicted to result in de…

Large spin-orbit splitting of deep in-gap defect states of engineered sulfur vacancies in monolayer WS2

Bruno Schuler, Diana Y. Qiu, Sivan Refaely-Abramson +10

Structural defects in 2D materials offer an effective way to engineer new material functionalities beyond conventional doping in semiconductors. Specifically, deep in-gap defect st…

Defect-induced modification of low-lying excitons and valley selectivity in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides

Sivan Refaely-Abramson, Diana Y. Qiu, Steven G. Louie +1

We study the effect of point-defect chalcogen vacancies on the optical properties of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides using ab initio GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation calcu…
