PG - 1215-1220 LID - 10.1002/bio.4342 [doi] AB - The electronic, dielectric, and optical properties of pure and Nb/V-doped WS(2) monolayer are being investigated using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT). The electronic band structure calculations reveal that the pure and doped WS(2) monolayer is a direct band gap semiconductor. It is seen that the doping not only slightly reduces the band gap but also changes the n-type character of pure WS(2) monolayer to the p-type character. Hence, it may be useful for channel material in field effect transistors (FETs). Moreover, the optical studies reveal that the WS(2) monolayer shows a significantly good optical response. However, a small ultraviolet shift is observed in the optical response of the doped case compared to the pristine WS(2) monolayer. This study suggests that the WS(2) monolayer can be a possible optical material for optoelectronic applications, and it can also be a replacement of MoS(2) -based future electronics and optoelectronics.
