Abstract
The electronic transport characteristics of tungsten disulfide (WS2) sheets are studied using the ensemble Monte Carlo technique in the presence of intrinsic scattering mechanisms only. The transport properties of the material are obtained in a two-valley model where intra- and inter-valley scatterings are considered in K and Q valleys. The velocity overshoot effect is observed for some applied field values. Negative differential phenomena are seen for some values of the energy difference between K and Q valleys (ΔEKQ), therefore ΔEKQ and the effective mass of carriers in the Q valley has a critical role in the transport and mobility characteristics of WS2. The mobility of carriers is calculated as a function of temperature and the results are compatible with some existing theoretical and experimental predictions.
