▎ 摘  要

Tuning the electrical transport behavior and reducing the Schottky barrier height of nanoelectronic devices remain a great challenge. To solve this issue, the electronic properties and Schottky barrier of the graphene/WSe2 heterostructure are investigated by the first-principles method under out-of-plane strain and an electric field. Our results show that the WSe2 monolayer and graphene could form a stable van der Waals heterostructure and the intrinsic electronic properties are well preserved. Furthermore, a transformation of a Schottky contact from the n-type to p-type occurs at d = 3.87 angstrom and E = +0.06 V angstrom(-1). In addition, an ohmic contact is formed with E = -0.50, +/- 0.60 V angstrom(-1). Lastly, the effective masses of electrons and holes are calculated to be 0.057m(0) and -0.055m(0) at the equilibrium state, respectively, indicating that the heterostructure has a high carrier mobility. Our research will provide promising approaches for the future design and development of graphene/WSe2 nano-field effect transistors.
