Electronic properties of quasi-two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide with cobalt impurities

Abstract

In variety of new materials a special place hold materials with nanoscale structure. Two- dimensional materials has attached a great attention due to its outstanding physical phenomena occurred at the nanolevel. There is a big interest in transition-metal dichalcogenides, due to their layered structure; they have extremely anisotropic properties, and therefore an intercalation processes easy to conduct. Reduced dimensionality can sometimes lead to magnetic behavior in systems, which are not magnetic in the bulk. That is why our investigation is aimed to determine the possibility of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) magnetic properties manifestation under cobalt (Co) impurities condition. Electronic properties study of quasi-two- dimensional structure of MoS2 with Co impurities are presented. Calculations were carried out using VASP (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package).
