"Electron transport in stacked and gated 2D nano-structures: Lessons from calculations"

Devices based on stacked van der Waals heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for future atomically thin, flexible electronics with properties that can be tuned by the electrostatic and dielectric environment. 

In this talk I will present examples where we employ first principles transport calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), which explicitly include the electrostatic gate potential and induced carriers. DFT is combined self-consistently with non-equilibrium Greens functions (NEGF) to study the effects of finite bias in devices [1,2]. I will discuss what we can learn from the DFT-NEGF calculations about f.ex. the role of the gate position in stacked devices [3], resistance of metallic edge-contacts to graphene [4], how an intrinsic, vertical dipole may be engineered and utilized in stacks involving the so-called Janus-type di-chalcogenides, among other topics.
