Interfacial Doping Effects in Fluoropolymer-Tungsten Diselenide Composites Providing High-Performance P-Type Transistors.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigated the p-doping effects of a fluoropolymer, Cytop, on tungsten diselenides (WSe2). The hole current of the Cytop-WSe2 field-effect transistor (FET) was boosted by the C-F bonds of Cytop having a strong dipole moment, enabling increased hole accumulation. Analysis of the observed p-doping effects using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy shed light on the doping mechanism. Moreover, Cytop reduces the electrical instability by preventing the adsorption of ambient molecules on the WSe2 surface. Annealing Cytop deposited on WSe2 eliminated the possible impurities associated with adsorbates (i.e., moisture and oxygen) that act as traps on the surface of WSe2. After thermal annealing, the Cytop-WSe2 FET afforded higher p-type conductivity and reduced hysteresis. The combination of the Cytop-WSe2 FET with annealing provides a promising method for obtaining high-performance WSe2 p-type transistors.

Rhenium Diselenide (ReSe2) Near-Infrared Photodetector: Performance Enhancement by Selective p-Doping Technique.

Project description:In this study, a near-infrared photodetector featuring a high photoresponsivity and a short photoresponse time is demonstrated, which is fabricated on rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) with a relatively narrow bandgap (0.9-1.0 eV) compared to conventional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). The excellent photo and temporal responses, which generally show a trade-off relation, are achieved simultaneously by applying a p-doping technique based on hydrochloric acid (HCl) to a selected ReSe2 region. Because the p-doping of ReSe2 originates from the charge transfer from un-ionized Cl molecules in the HCl to the ReSe2 surface, by adjusting the concentration of the HCl solution from 0.1 to 10 m, the doping concentration of the ReSe2 is controlled between 3.64 × 1010 and 3.61 × 1011 cm-2. Especially, the application of the selective HCl doping technique to the ReSe2 photodetector increases the photoresponsivity from 79.99 to 1.93 × 103 A W-1, and it also enhances the rise and decay times from 10.5 to 1.4 ms and from 291 to 3.1 ms, respectively, compared with the undoped ReSe2 device. The proposed selective p-doping technique and its fundamental analysis will provide a scientific foundation for implementing high-performance TMD-based electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Interfacial piezoelectric polarization locking in printable Ti3C2Tx MXene-fluoropolymer composites.

Project description:Piezoelectric fluoropolymers convert mechanical energy to electricity and are ideal for sustainably providing power to electronic devices. To convert mechanical energy, a net polarization must be induced in the fluoropolymer, which is currently achieved via an energy-intensive electrical poling process. Eliminating this process will enable the low-energy production of efficient energy harvesters. Here, by combining molecular dynamics simulations, piezoresponse force microscopy, and electrodynamic measurements, we reveal a hitherto unseen polarization locking phenomena of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) perpendicular to the basal plane of two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. This polarization locking, driven by strong electrostatic interactions enabled exceptional energy harvesting performance, with a measured piezoelectric charge coefficient, d33, of -52.0 picocoulombs per newton, significantly higher than electrically poled PVDF-TrFE (approximately -38 picocoulombs per newton). This study provides a new fundamental and low-energy input mechanism of poling fluoropolymers, which enables new levels of performance in electromechanical technologies.

Material Synthesis and Device Aspects of Monolayer Tungsten Diselenide.

Project description:In this paper, we investigate the synthesis of WSe2 by chemical vapor deposition and study the current transport and device scaling of monolayer WSe2. We found that the device characteristics of the back-gated WSe2 transistors with thick oxides are very sensitive to the applied drain bias, especially for transistors in the sub-micrometer regime. The threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, and extracted field-effect mobility vary with the applied drain bias. The output characteristics in the long-channel transistors show ohmic-like behavior, while that in the short-channel transistors show Schottky-like behavior. Our investigation reveals that these phenomena are caused by the drain-induced barrier lowering (short-channel effect). For back-gated WSe2 transistors with 280 nm oxide, the short-channel effect appears when the channel length is shorter than 0.4 µm. This extremely long electrostatic scaling length is due to the thick back-gate oxides. In addition, we also found that the hydrogen flow rate and the amount of WO3 precursor play an important role in the morphology of the WSe2. The hole mobility of the monolayer WSe2 is limited by Columbic scattering below 250 K, while it is limited by phonon scattering above 250 K. These findings are very important for the synthesis of WSe2 and accurate characterization of the electronic devices based on 2D materials.

Pursuing Polymer Dielectric Interfacial Effect in Organic Transistors for Photosensing Performance Optimization.

Project description:Polymer dielectrics in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are essential to provide the devices with overall flexibility, stretchability, and printability and simultaneously introduce charge interaction on the interface with organic semiconductors (OSCs). The interfacial effect between various polymer dielectrics and OSCs significantly and intricately influences device performance. However, understanding of this effect is limited because the interface is buried and the interfacial charge interaction is difficult to stimulate and characterize. Here, this challenge is overcome by utilizing illumination to stimulate the interfacial effect in various OFETs and to characterize the responses of the effect by measuring photoinduced changes of the OFETs performances. This systemic investigation reveals the mechanism of the intricate interfacial effect in detail, and mathematically explains how the photosensitive OFETs characteristics are determined by parameters including polar group of the polymer dielectric and the OSC side chain. By utilizing this mechanism, performance of organic electronics can be precisely controlled and optimized. OFETs with strong interfacial effect can also show a signal additivity caused by repeated light pulses, which is applicable for photostimulated synapse emulator. Therefore, this work enlightens a detailed understanding on the interface effect and provides novel strategies for optimizing OFET photosensory performances.

Boosting the Piezoelectric Response and Interfacial Compatibility in Flexible Piezoelectric Composites via DET-Doping BT Nanoparticles.

Project description:With the advent of the Internet of Things, self-powered wearable sensors have become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. The utilization of piezoelectric composites to harness and sense surrounding mechanical vibrations has been extensively investigated during the last decades. However, the poor interface compatibility between ceramics nanofillers and polymers matrix, as well as low piezoelectric performance, still serves as a critical challenge. In this work, we employed Di(dioctylpyrophosphato) ethylene titanate (DET) as the coupling agent for modifying barium titanate (BTO) nanofillers. Compared to the BTO/PVDF counterpart, the DET-BTO/PVDF nanofibers exhibit an augmented content of piezoelectric β phase (~85.7%) and significantly enhanced stress transfer capability. The piezoelectric coefficient (d33) is up to ~40 pC/N, which is the highest value among reported BTO/PVDF composites. The piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) present benign durability and attain a high instantaneous power density of 276.7 nW/cm2 at a matched load of 120 MΩ. Furthermore, the PEHs could sense various human activities, with the sensitivity as high as 0.817 V/N ranging from 0.05-0.1 N. This work proposes a new strategy to boosting the piezoelectric performance of PVDF-based composites via DET-doping ceramics nanoparticles, and in turn show significantly improved energy harvesting and sensing capability.

Observation of intervalley quantum interference in epitaxial monolayer tungsten diselenide.

Project description:The extraordinary electronic structures of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, such as the spin-valley-coupled band edges, have sparked great interest for potential spintronic and valleytronic applications based on these two-dimensional materials. In this work, we report the experimental observation of quasi-particle interference patterns in monolayer WSe2 using low-temperature scanning tunnelling spectroscopy. We observe intervalley quantum interference involving the Q valleys in the conduction band due to spin-conserving scattering processes, while spin-flipping intervalley scattering is absent. Our results establish unequivocally the presence of spin-valley coupling and affirm the large spin splitting at the Q valleys. Importantly, the inefficient spin-flipping scattering implies long valley and spin lifetime in monolayer WSe2, which is a key figure of merit for valley-spintronic applications.

Strained two-dimensional tungsten diselenide for mechanically tunable exciton transport.

Project description:Tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) hosted in atomically-thin semiconductors have emerged as prospective elements in optoelectronic devices for ultrafast and secured information transfer. The controlled exciton transport in such excitonic devices requires manipulating potential energy gradient of charge-neutral excitons, while electrical gating or nanoscale straining have shown limited efficiency of exciton transport at room temperature. Here, we report strain gradient induced exciton transport in monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2) across microns at room temperature via steady-state pump-probe measurement. Wrinkle architecture enabled optically-resolvable local strain (2.4%) and energy gradient (49 meV/μm) to WSe2. We observed strain gradient induced flux of high-energy excitons and emission of funneled, low-energy excitons at the 2.5 μm-away pump point with nearly 45% of relative emission intensity compared to that of excited excitons. Our results strongly support the strain-driven manipulation of exciton funneling in two-dimensional semiconductors at room temperature, opening up future opportunities of 2D straintronic exciton devices.

Giant photoluminescence enhancement in tungsten-diselenide-gold plasmonic hybrid structures.

Project description:Impressive properties arise from the atomically thin nature of transition metal dichalcogenide two-dimensional materials. However, being atomically thin limits their optical absorption or emission. Hence, enhancing their photoluminescence by plasmonic nanostructures is critical for integrating these materials in optoelectronic and photonic devices. Typical photoluminescence enhancement from transition metal dichalcogenides is 100-fold, with recent enhancement of 1,000-fold achieved by simultaneously enhancing absorption, emission and directionality of the system. By suspending WSe2 flakes onto sub-20-nm-wide trenches in gold substrate, we report a giant photoluminescence enhancement of ∼20,000-fold. It is attributed to an enhanced absorption of the pump laser due to the lateral gap plasmons confined in the trenches and the enhanced Purcell factor by the plasmonic nanostructure. This work demonstrates the feasibility of giant photoluminescence enhancement in WSe2 with judiciously designed plasmonic nanostructures and paves a way towards the implementation of plasmon-enhanced transition metal dichalcogenide photodetectors, sensors and emitters.

Molybdenum Diselenide and Tungsten Diselenide Interfacing Cobalt-Porphyrin for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution in Alkaline and Acidic Media.

Project description:Easy and effective modification approaches for transition metal dichalcogenides are highly desired in order to make them active toward electrocatalysis. In this manner, we report functionalized molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) and tungsten diselenide (WSe2) via metal-ligand coordination with pyridine rings for the subsequent covalent grafting of a cobalt-porphyrin. The new hybrid materials were tested towards an electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction in both acidic and alkaline media and showed enhanced activity compared to intact MoSe2 and WSe2. Hybrids exhibited lower overpotential, easier reaction kinetics, higher conductivity, and excellent stability after 10,000 ongoing cycles in acidic and alkaline electrolytes compared to MoSe2 and WSe2. Markedly, MoSe2-based hybrid material showed the best performance and marked a significantly low onset potential of -0.17 V vs RHE for acidic hydrogen evolution reaction. All in all, the ease and fast modification route provides a versatile functionalization procedure, extendable to other transition metal dichalcogenides, and can open new pathways for the realization of functional nanomaterials suitable in electrocatalysis.

Directly seeding epitaxial growth of tungsten oxides/tungsten diselenide mixed-dimensional heterostructures with excellent optical properties.

Project description:Mixed-dimensional heterostructures have drawn significant attention due to their intriguing physical properties and potential applications in electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices. However, limited by the lattice matching, the preparation of heterostructures is experimentally difficult and the underlying growth mechanism has not been well established. Here, we report a three-step seeding epitaxial growth strategy for synthesizing mixed-dimensional heterostructures of one-dimensional microwire (MW) and two-dimensional atomic thin film. Our growth strategy has successfully realized direct epitaxial growth of WSe2 film on WOx MW and significantly improves the quality of the epitaxial WSe2 monolayer, which is evidenced by the remarkably enhanced photoluminescence (PL). More intriguingly, the as-synthesized WOx MWs exhibit a strong nonlinear optical response due to the enhancement effect of the core (WOx)-shell (WSe2) nanocavity. Our work provides a feasible route for direct growth of WOx-based mixed-dimensional heterostructures, which possess potential applications in high-performance optoelectronic devices.
