Electronic and transport properties of Ti3C2O2-based strain sensor: A DFT-NEGF study

MXenes used as strain sensing materials have recently roused extensive interest due to their two-dimensional structures and outstanding electric properties. However, theoretical analysis from a quantum perspective is relatively scarce, which may hinder the development of this emerging field. Based o...

description MXenes used as strain sensing materials have recently roused extensive interest due to their two-dimensional structures and outstanding electric properties. However, theoretical analysis from a quantum perspective is relatively scarce, which may hinder the development of this emerging field. Based on density functional theory with non-equilibrium Green’s function, we explored the structure, electronic, and transport properties of Ti3C2O2 with and without biaxial strains. The Ti3C2O2 monolayer remained stable under 5% biaxial strain. The structures and electronic properties of Ti3C2O2 showed gradual evolutions tuned by strain. Moreover, we studied the intrinsic device properties by constructing two-probe devices. The current of the 5% biaxially strained device increased by about 80% compared with the unstrained device. Given the results mentioned earlier, the Ti3C2O2-based nanodevices have the prospect of being strain sensors.
