Abstract
This paper presents an ab initio methodology to account for electron-phonon interactions in 2D materials, focusing on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). It combines density functional theory and maximally localized Wannier functions to acquire material data and relies on the linearized Boltzmann transport equation (LBTE) and the non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) method to determine the transport properties of materials and devices, respectively. It is shown that for MoS2, both LBTE and NEGF return very close mobility values, without the need to adjust any parameter. The excellent agreement between both approaches results from the inclusion of non-diagonal entries in the electron-phonon scattering self-energies. The NEGF solver is then used to shed light on the "current vs. voltage" characteristics of a monolayer MoS2 transistor, highlighting how the interactions with phonons impact both the current magnitude and its distribution. The mobility of other TMDCs is considered as well, demonstrating the capabilities of the proposed technique to assess the potential of 2D channel materials in next-generation logic applications.
