TL;DR: First-principles density functional calculations suggest that the enhanced field emission may also be due to an overalp of the electronic structures of WS2 and RGO, where graphene-like states are dumped in the region of the WS2 fundamental gap.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the field emission properties of p-doped graphene using tin sulfide (SnS2), which showed enhanced field emission performance compared to pristine SnS2 and reduced graphene oxide (RGO).

TL;DR: First-principles density functional theory is used to investigate the effect of both tensile and compressive strain on the work functions of various metal dichalcogenide monolayers and finds thatCompressive strain of up to 10% decreases the work function continuously by as much as 1.0 eV.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported high performance IR photocurrent response of two-dimensional hybrid materials consisting of layered WS2 nanosheets and reduced graphene oxide (RGO).

TL;DR: On the basis of density functional perturbation theory, the electron-phonon coupling constant of the Al atomic wire is lowest among the four metals studied, and more importantly, that the value is reduced by a factor of 50 compared to the bulk.
