Exploring nitrogen-mediated effects on Fe and Cu cluster development in graphene: a DFT study.

The controlled growth and stability of transition metal clusters on N-doped materials have become the subject of intense investigation for unveiling comprehension on the cluster growth evolution. In this study, we investigated the growth mechanisms of non-magnetic (copper) and magnetic (iron) clusters on graphene with two atomic vacancies, with and without pyridinic nitrogen (N). Our results determine the role of pyridinic N in the growth and physicochemical properties of the mentioned metal clusters.

Atomic-scale description of 2D Janus MoSO and MoSeO formation: oxidation patterns and band-gap engineering.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted attention due to their broad-ranging physical properties. Their semiconducting characteristics make them attractive for nanotechnology applications. In particular, molybdenum disulfide (MoS) and molybdenum diselenide (MoSe) possess direct band gaps of 1.
