Ab-initio study of the electronic and vibrational properties on low-dimensional nanostructures made of layered transition metal di-chalcogenides

Abstract

The controlled modulation of the electronic and phonon properties of low dimensional materials via external perturbations such as electric fields, doping, and strain, do represent an important step in the development of the next generation of nano-electronic devices. While Graphene and carbon nanotubes have thus far dominated the research into low-dimensional nono-electronics, layered di-chalcogenide materials have late attracted considerable attention as well.
