Excitons, optical spectra, and electronic properties of semiconducting Hf-based MXenes.

Semiconducting MXenes are an intriguing two-dimensional (2D) material class with promising electronic and optoelectronic properties. Here, we focused on recently prepared Hf-based MXenes, namely, Hf3C2O2 and Hf2CO2. Using the first-principles calculation and excited state corrections, we proved their dynamical stability, reconciled their semiconducting behavior, and obtained fundamental gaps by using the many-body GW method (indirect 1.

Simple theoretical analysis of the photoemission from quantum confined effective mass superlattices of optoelectronic materials.

The photoemission from quantum wires and dots of effective mass superlattices of optoelectronic materials was investigated on the basis of newly formulated electron energy spectra, in the presence of external light waves, which controls the transport properties of ultra-small electronic devices under intense radiation. The effect of magnetic quantization on the photoemission from the aforementioned superlattices, together with quantum well superlattices under magnetic quantization, has also been investigated in this regard. It appears, taking HgTe/Hg(1-) (x)Cd(x)Te and In(x)Ga(1-) (x)As/InP effective mass superlattices, that the photoemission from these quantized structures is enhanced with increasing photon energy in quantized steps and shows oscillatory dependences with the increasing carrier concentration.
