Introduction to electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide systems

  • Chapter
No-nonsense Physicist

Part of the book series: Publications of the Scuola Normale Superiore ((SELSNS,volume 2))

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention because of their unusual physical and chemical properties. Among these 2D nanomaterials, the monolayers of layered transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit intriguing electronic and optical properties. In this chapter, therefore, the electronic and optical properties of monolayer MoS2 are briefly reviewed. We present a model Hamiltonian within tight-binding theory, some transport properties like the charge compressibility in the mean-field approximation, plasmon modes in the Random-Phase Approximation and intrinsic optical properties of monolayer MoS2. Finally, we briefly discuss many-body ground-state of the system and its quantum phase transition in physical parametric space within Hartree-Fock theory.
