First-principles calculations are performed for the recently synthesized monolayer MoSiN [Science 369, 670-674 (2020)]. We show that vacancies are energetically favorable over Si vacancies, except for Fermi energies close to the conduction band edge in the N-rich environment, and induce half-metallicity. N and Si vacancies generate magnetic moments of 1.0 and 2.0 μ, respectively, with potential applications in spintronics. We also demonstrate that N and Si vacancies can be used to effectively engineer the work function.
我们对最近合成的单层MoSiN进行了第一性原理计算[《科学》369, 670 - 674 (2020)]。我们表明,除了在富氮环境中费米能级接近导带边缘的情况外,空位在能量上比硅空位更有利,并诱导出半金属性。氮和硅空位分别产生1.0和2.0 μ的磁矩,在自旋电子学中有潜在应用。我们还证明,氮和硅空位可用于有效调控功函数。
