An Atomically Resolved Schottky Barrier Height Approach for Bridging the Gap between Theory and Experiment at Metal–Semiconductor Heterojunctions

We propose an atomically resolved approach to capture the spatial variations of the Schottky barrier height (SBH) at metal-semiconductor heterojunctions. This proposed scheme, based on atom-specific partial density of states (PDOS) calculations, further enables calculation of the effective SBH that aligns with conductance measurements. We apply this approach to study the variations of SBH at MoS
