Abstract

The optical parameters and charge transfer analysis of MoB2 monolayer has been performed under the framework of density functional theory. A detailed study of optical properties including real and imaginary part of dielectric constant along with refractive index in x-, y- and z-direction witnessed a suppression along z-axis due to the broken symmetry in presence of 2-dimensional lattice arrangement. Our results suggest that MoB2 monolayer is metallic in nature which is found in agreement with available reports. In x- and y-directions the parameters are giving somewhat similar trend with respect to photon energy. Moreover we have studied the charge transfer mechanism with help of 3D Laplacian plots and Lowdin's charge analysis. A strong intra-layer charge sharing is observed in B-atoms while some charge transfer was observed in inter-layer atomic species as well.
