Abstract

This chapter looks at how electrons propagate in a circular quantum dot (QD) of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) that is exposed to an electric potential. Mathematical formulas for the eigenstates, scattering coefficients, scattering efficiency, and radial component of the reflected current and electron density are presented using the continuum model. As a function of physical characteristics such as incident electronic energy, potential barrier, and quantum dot radius, we discover two scattering regimes. We demonstrate the presence of scattering resonances for low-energy incoming electrons. We should also point out that the far-field dispersed current has unique favored scattering directions.
