在建立V2NO2/TiSi2N4異質結模型之前,研究了V2NO2和TiSi2N4單層的結構信息及電子結構.V2NO2中的氧原子在晶胞中具有三個不同的結合位點:直接占據上面V原子的表面空位(構型I);在N原子的頂部和由三個相鄰的V原子形成的三角形的中空處(構型II);在底部V原子的頂部和三個相鄰的N原子的中心上(構型III).計算結果與文獻[9]相同,構型III具有最低的能量,說明構型III比V2NO2其他兩種構型更穩定.優化后的最穩定結構見圖1a,V2NO2納米單層的空間群為164(3),晶格參數為2.91 nm-1.
V2NO2的能帶結構見圖1b,通過能帶圖可知V2NO2保留了V2N的金屬性質,考慮到構型III在能量上是最有利結構并且保持了體系類金屬性質,構型III的V2NO2是用于構建金屬-半導體異質結構的理想構型.



圖2 V2NO2/ TiSi2N4異質結的六種堆疊方式(分別稱為Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ)
當兩個層堆疊形成異質結構時,會發生電荷的重新分布和轉移,為了分析其相互作用,計算了異質結構中的三維電荷密度差分,結果見圖3.圖3a中黃色和淡藍色區域分別表示電荷積累和耗盡.黃色區域正好在V2NO2層表面之下,這表明電子在V2NO2層周圍積累;而TiSi2N4層的表面被淡藍色區域包圍,這意味著空穴在TiSi2N4層周圍積聚.而靜電勢也能看出這一點(見圖3b),電子從靜電勢低的一端向高的一端轉移,即由TiSi2N4層向V2NO2層轉移.電子局域函數(ELF)也繪制在圖3c中,可以看到靠近TiSi2N4層的Ti原子周圍的局域電子形狀與另一側的Ti原子周圍的局域電子形狀明顯不同,這表明異質結構中存在層間范德瓦爾斯相互作用.

施加不同外電場時V2NO2/TiSi2N4肖特基結的投影能帶結構(外電場施加范圍為-0.5~+0.5 V/nm-1)見圖4b.計算結果表明,在正的外加電場調節下,VBM和CBM先上升后下移;在負的外加電場調節下,其VBM和CBM的總體趨勢為下移趨勢.在正負外加電場作用下,單層TiSi2N4保持了原間接帶隙半導體的特性.
