Abstract

Embedding alkali-metal in monolayer MoS2 has been investigated by using first principles with density functional theory. The calculation of the electronic and optical properties indicates that alkali-metal was embedded in monolayer MoS2 appearing almost metallic behavior, and the MoS2 layer shows clear p-type doping behavior. The covalent bonding appears between the alkali-metal atoms and defective MoS2. More importantly, embedding alkali-metal can increase the work function for monolayer MoS2. Furthermore, the absorption spectrum of monolayer MoS2 is red shifted because of alkali metal embedding. Accordingly, this study will provide the theoretical basis for producing the alkali-metal-doped monolayer MoS2 radiation shielding and photoelectric devices.
