Density of States in 2D Materials In 2D materials, the electron motion is confined along one direction and free to move in other two directions. Therefore, along the confined direction (say Z), the energy is quantized, and along the other two directions (say x, y), the energy is not quantized and the electron can move like a free particle. filexlib. The harmonic oscillator density of states can be generalized to the case of multiple independent harmonic oscillators. For n oscillators with fundamental energies nn , the density of states is given by the convolution for the density of states of the individual oscillators. This leads to 1 1 (1)! n harm n i i E gE n Ultrafast Investigations of Exciton Dynamics in 0D and 2D Hybrid Semiconductor Nanomaterials Density functional theory calculations are then utilized to pinpoint specific atomic displacements which couple to the excitonic transition, exemplified by silver atomic motion out of the 2D plane disrupting the material's electronic structure.

The density of states D(E) in 3D, which is the number of states per unit energy, can now be calculated as follows: D 3D(E) = dN dE = dN dk dk dE = V ˇ2 k2 r m 2~2E = V ˇ2 p 2E m ~2 3 2 (6) In 2D, the number of modes that a circle of radius kencloses is: N= 2 L 2ˇ 2 ˇk2 = A 2ˇ k2 (7) which gives: dN dk = A ˇ k (8) The density of states in

Following the same procedure to obtain expression (6), the density of states of electrons can be expressed as a function of its components:(12)Dfe(ξ)=Dfe⊥(ξ)*Dfez(ξ)where the convolution theorem was used, and Dfe⊥(ξ)and Dfez(ξ)denotes the 2D density of states and the density of states in the zdirection for electrons in the fsubband.
