Electrical, Electronic And Optical Properties Of Mose2 And Wse2, Sushant Shashikant Rassay

Theses

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) crystals have emerged as a new class of semiconductors that display distinctive properties at monolayer thickness. Their electrical, electronic and optical properties are of particular interest and importance for applications in optoelectronics as light emitters, detectors, and photovoltaic devices. Monolayer MoSe₂ and WSe₂ have an intrinsic band-gap in the visible region of the solar spectrum (400nm - 700nm) which makes them distinct from other 2-D materials like graphene.

In this study, the electrical, electronic and optical properties of monolayer and bulk MoSe₂ and WSe₂ are studied. The electronic band structures are presented for …
