摘要

We present an atomistic model for predicting the distribution of doping electric charges in layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). This model mimics the charge around each ion as a net Gaussian-spatially distributed charge plus an induced dipole, and is able to predict the distribution of doping charges in layered MoS2 in a self-consistent scheme. The profiles of doping charges in monolayer MoS2 flakes computed by this charge-dipole model are in good agreement with those obtained by density-functional-theory calculations. Using this model, we quantitatively predict the charge enhancement in MoS2 monolayer nanoribbons, with which strong ionic charge-localization effects are shown. Published by AIP Publishing.
