Abstract

The research work behind Two-Dimensional materials, such as Graphene opens a new set of possibilities to the creation of these type of materials that will have the same or even better thermoelectrical properties than Graphene. The main example of these materials, are the two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs). These, then will be doped with different types of semiconductors or assembled in a vertical heterojunction; to later measure the interaction between the atoms in both process. Our objective is to develop, via computational calculations, the most stable and efficient set atoms that in the future could end up having very useful technological properties, such as sensors, communication systems, intelligent memory and much more.
