The effects of external electric field on the SeZrS/SeHfS heterostructure were studied using first-principles calculations. It was found that an external electric field can transform the type-I band alignment to type-II, leading to spatial separation of electron-hole pairs in different monolayers. The linear variations of the band gap with external electric fields are attributed to the redistribution of electron concentration and shifting of quasi-Fermi levels and band edge positions. These findings demonstrate the potential applications of the SeZrS/SeHfS heterostructure in field effect transistors and optoelectronic devices.
The effects of external electric field on the structural and electronic properties of the SeZrS/SeHfS heterostructure have been studied by first-principles calculations. The results demonstrate that the type-I band alignment can be transformed to the type-II band alignment by an external electric field, achieving the spatial separation of the lowest-energy electron-hole pairs to different monolayers of the SeZrS/SeHfS heterostructure. Furthermore, the approximately linear variations of the band gap with either positive or negative external electric fields can be attributed to the external electric field redistributing the electron concentration, shifting the quasi-Fermi levels and the band edge positions to attain new equilibrium. These results prove the great potential applications of the SeZrS/SeHfS heterostructure in field effect transistors and optoelectronic devices.
