The physical properties of materials can be tuned for applications in nanoelectronics and renewable energy by stacking two-dimensional materials and applying strain through weak van der Waals interaction. Studies on Janus transition metal dichalcogenides heterostructures have investigated their electronic properties and band alignment, confirming type-I alignment and observing transitions to type-II or type-III alignment with strain. Investigation using semi classical Boltzmann transport theory has shown that these heterostructures have high Seebeck coefficients, making them suitable for thermoelectric devices.
To tune the physical properties of a material for promising application in nanoelectronics and renewable energy sources, stacking of two dimensional materials via weak van der Waals interaction and application of strain are important techniques. The electronic properties and the band alignment in Janus transition metal dichalcogenides heterostructures are investigated by performing first principle calculations. Different stacking are modeled and the most stable stacking are confirmed through binding energy. All these heterostructures are confirmed to have type-I band alignment. Switching from type-I to type-II or type-III band alignment is observed with application of strain in these heterostructures. Semi classical Boltzmann transport theory is used to investigate thermoelectric parameters of these heterostructures. The high Seebeck coefficient of these heterostructures confirms that these materials are suitable for thermoelectric devices.
