    Interactions of Gas Molecules with Monolayer MoSe 2 : A First Principle Study
    (AIP Publishing, 2016) Sharma, Munish; Jamdagni, Pooja; Kumar, Ashok; Ahluwalia, P. K.
    We present a first principle study of interaction of toxic gas molecules (NO, NO2 and SO2) with MoSe2. The predicted order of sensitivity of gas molecule is NO2 > SO2 > NO. strongly influence the electronic behaviour of MoSe2 by inducing in the vicinity of Fermi energy. NO and SO2 is found to induce p-type effect while to metallic transitions occur on NO2 Our findings may guide the experimentalist for sensor based on MoSe2

    Electronic properties and STM images of vacancy clusters and chains in functionalized silicene and germanene
    (Elsevier B.V., 2017) Jamdagni, Pooja; Kumar, Ashok; Sharma, Munish; Thakur, Anil; Ahluwalia, P. K.
    Electronic properties and STM topographical images of X (=F, H, O) functionalized silicene and germanene have been investigated by introducing various kind of vacancy clusters and chain patterns in monolayers within density functional theory (DFT) framework. The relative ease of formation of vacancy clusters and chain patterns is found to be energetically most favorable in hydrogenated silicene and germanene. F- and H-functionalized silicene and germanene are direct bandgap semiconducting with bandgap ranging between 0.1?1.9?eV, while O-functionalized monolayers are metallic in nature. By introducing various vacancy clusters and chain patterns in both silicene and germanene, the electronic and magnetic properties get modified in significant manner e.g. F- and H-functionalized silicene and germanene with hexagonal and rectangle vacancy clusters are non-magnetic semiconductors with modified bandgap values while pentagonal and triangle vacancy clusters induce metallicity and magnetic character in monolayers; hexagonal vacancy chain patterns induce direct-to-indirect gap transition while zigzag vacancy chain patterns retain direct bandgap nature of monolayers. Calculated STM topographical images show distinctly different characteristics for various type of vacancy clusters and chain patterns which may be used as electronic fingerprints to identify various vacancy patterns in silicene and germanene created during the process of functionalization. ? 2016 Elsevier B.V.
