Rationally tuning the electrical transport characteristics of monolayer phosphorene is essential to its applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Herein, we study the electronic transport behaviors of monolayer phosphorene with surface charge transfer doping of electrophilic molecules, including 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), NO<sub>2</sub>, and MoO<sub>3</sub>, using density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. F4TCNQ shows optimal performance in enhancing the p-type conductance of monolayer phosphorene. Static electronic properties indicate that the enhancement is originated from the charge transfer between adsorbed molecule and phosphorene layer. Dynamic transport behaviors demonstrate that additional channels for hole transport in host monolayer phosphorene were generated upon the adsorption of molecule. Our work unveils the great potential of surface charge transfer doping in tuning the electronic properties of monolayer phosphorene and is of significance to its application in high-performance devices. 2015-12-17 10:58:35 monolayer phosphorene F 4TCNQ Dynamic transport behaviors Molecular AdsorptionMonolayer phosphorene Surface Charge Transfer Doping molecule surface charge transfer doping host monolayer phosphorene
