High-performance near-infrared Schottky-photodetector based graphene/In₂S₃ van der Waals heterostructures.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) β-In₂S₃ is a natural defective n-type semiconductor attracting considerable interest for its excellent photoelectronic performance. However, β-In₂S₃ based photodetectors exhibited a weak near-infrared photoresponse compared to visible wavelength in past reports. In this work, high-quality 2D β-In₂S₃ nanosheets were prepared by a space-confined chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Graphene/In₂S₃ van der Waals heterostructures were constructed to realize an enhanced near-infrared photodetection performance by a series of transfer processes. The photodetectors based on graphene/In₂S₃ van der Waals heterostructures through junction carrier separation exhibited a better infrared performance of high photoresponsivity (R _light) of 0.49 mA W^-1, external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.07%, and detectivity (D*) of 3.05 × 10⁷ jones using an 808 nm laser.

Bias-Modified Schottky Barrier Height-Dependent Graphene/ReSe2 van der Waals Heterostructures for Excellent Photodetector and NO2 Gas Sensing Applications.

Project description:Herein, we reported a unique photo device consisting of monolayer graphene and a few-layer rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) heterojunction. The prepared Gr/ReSe2-HS demonstrated an excellent mobility of 380 cm2/Vs, current on/off ratio ~ 104, photoresponsivity (R ~ 74 AW-1 @ 82 mW cm-2), detectivity (D* ~ 1.25 × 1011 Jones), external quantum efficiency (EQE ~ 173%) and rapid photoresponse (rise/fall time ~ 75/3 µs) significantly higher to an individual ReSe2 device (mobility = 36 cm2 V-1s-1, Ion/Ioff ratio = 1.4 × 105-1.8 × 105, R = 11.2 AW-1, D* = 1.02 × 1010, EQE ~ 26.1%, rise/fall time = 2.37/5.03 s). Additionally, gate-bias dependent Schottky barrier height (SBH) estimation for individual ReSe2 (45 meV at Vbg = 40 V) and Gr/ReSe2-HS (9.02 meV at Vbg = 40 V) revealed a low value for the heterostructure, confirming dry transfer technique to be successful in fabricating an interfacial defects-free junction. In addition, HS is fully capable to demonstrate an excellent gas sensing response with rapid response/recovery time (39/126 s for NO2 at 200 ppb) and is operational at room temperature (26.85 °C). The proposed Gr/ReSe2-HS is capable of demonstrating excellent electro-optical, as well as gas sensing, performance simultaneously and, therefore, can be used as a building block to fabricate next-generation photodetectors and gas sensors.

Van der Waals two-color infrared photodetector.

Project description:With the increasing demand for multispectral information acquisition, infrared multispectral imaging technology that is inexpensive and can be miniaturized and integrated into other devices has received extensive attention. However, the widespread usage of such photodetectors is still limited by the high cost of epitaxial semiconductors and complex cryogenic cooling systems. Here, we demonstrate a noncooled two-color infrared photodetector that can provide temporal-spatial coexisting spectral blackbody detection at both near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths. This photodetector consists of vertically stacked back-to-back diode structures. The two-color signals can be effectively separated to achieve ultralow crosstalk of ~0.05% by controlling the built-in electric field depending on the intermediate layer, which acts as an electron-collecting layer and hole-blocking barrier. The impressive performance of the two-color photodetector is verified by the specific detectivity (D*) of 6.4 × 109 cm Hz1/2 W-1 at 3.5 μm and room temperature, as well as the promising NIR/MWIR two-color infrared imaging and absolute temperature detection.

PN/PAs-WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures for solar cell and photodetector.

Project description:By first-principles calculations, we investigate the geometric stability, electronic and optical properties of the type-II PN-WSe2 and type-I PAs-WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures(vdWH). They are p-type semiconductors with indirect band gaps of 1.09 eV and 1.08 eV based on PBE functional respectively. By applying the external gate field, the PAs-WSe2 heterostructure would transform to the type-II band alignment from the type-I. With the increasing of magnitude of the electric field, two heterostructures turn into the n-type semiconductors and eventually into metal. Especially, PN/PAs-WSe2 vdWH are both high refractive index materials at low frequencies and show negative refractive index at high frequencies. Because of the steady absorption in ultraviolet region, the PAs-WSe2 heterostructure is a highly sensitive UV detector material with wide spectrum. The type-II PN-WSe2 heterostructure possesses giant and broadband absorption in the near-infrared and visible regions, and its solar power conversion efficiency of 13.8% is higher than the reported GaTe-InSe (9.1%), MoS2/p-Si (5.23%) and organic solar cells (11.7%). It does project PN-WSe2 heterostructure a potential for application in excitons-based solar cells.

Nonvolatile infrared memory in MoS2/PbS van der Waals heterostructures.

Project description:Optoelectronic devices for information storage and processing are at the heart of optical communication technology due to their significant applications in optical recording and computing. The infrared radiations of 850, 1310, and 1550 nm with low energy dissipation in optical fibers are typical optical communication wavebands. However, optoelectronic devices that could convert and store the infrared data into electrical signals, thereby enabling optical data communications, have not yet been realized. We report an infrared memory device using MoS2/PbS van der Waals heterostructures, in which the infrared pulse intrigues a persistent resistance state that hardly relaxes within our experimental time scales (more than 104 s). The device fully retrieves the memory state even after powering off for 3 hours, indicating its potential for nonvolatile storage devices. Furthermore, the device presents a reconfigurable switch of 2000 stable cycles. Supported by a theoretical model with quantitative analysis, we propose that the optical memory and the electrical erasing phenomenon, respectively, originate from the localization of infrared-induced holes in PbS and gate voltage pulse-enhanced tunneling of electrons from MoS2 to PbS. The demonstrated MoS2 heterostructure-based memory devices open up an exciting field for optoelectronic infrared memory and programmable logic devices.

Scanning Probe Spectroscopy of WS2/Graphene Van Der Waals Heterostructures.

Project description:In this paper, we present a study of tungsten disulfide (WS2) two-dimensional (2D) crystals, grown on epitaxial Graphene. In particular, we have employed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and µRaman spectroscopy combined with multifunctional scanning probe microscopy (SPM), operating in peak force-quantitative nano mechanical (PF-QNM), ultrasonic force microscopy (UFM) and electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) modes. This comparative approach provides a wealth of useful complementary information and allows one to cross-analyze on the nanoscale the morphological, mechanical, and electrostatic properties of the 2D heterostructures analyzed. Herein, we show that PF-QNM can accurately map surface properties, such as morphology and adhesion, and that UFM is exceptionally sensitive to a broader range of elastic properties, helping to uncover subsurface features located at the buried interfaces. All these data can be correlated with the local electrostatic properties obtained via EFM mapping of the surface potential, through the cantilever response at the first harmonic, and the dielectric permittivity, through the cantilever response at the second harmonic. In conclusion, we show that combining multi-parametric SPM with SEM and µRaman spectroscopy helps to identify single features of the WS2/Graphene/SiC heterostructures analyzed, demonstrating that this is a powerful tool-set for the investigation of 2D materials stacks, a building block for new advanced nano-devices.

Thermionic Energy Conversion Based on Graphene van der Waals Heterostructures.

Project description:Seeking for thermoelectric (TE) materials with high figure of merit (or ZT), which can directly converts low-grade wasted heat (400 to 500 K) into electricity, has been a big challenge. Inspired by the concept of multilayer thermionic devices, we propose and design a solid-state thermionic devices (as a power generator or a refrigerator) in using van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure sandwiched between two graphene electrodes, to achieve high energy conversion efficiency in the temperature range of 400 to 500 K. The vdW heterostructure is composed of suitable multiple layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2. From our calculations, WSe2 and MoSe2 are identified as two ideal TMDs (using the reported experimental material's properties), which can harvest waste heat at 400 K with efficiencies about 7% to 8%. To our best knowledge, this design is the first in combining the advantages of graphene electrodes and TMDs to function as a thermionic-based device.

Thermionic transport across gold-graphene-WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures.

Project description:Solid-state thermionic devices based on van der Waals structures were proposed for nanoscale thermal to electrical energy conversion and integrated electronic cooling applications. We study thermionic cooling across gold-graphene-WSe2-graphene-gold structures computationally and experimentally. Graphene and WSe2 layers were stacked, followed by deposition of gold contacts. The I-V curve of the structure suggests near-ohmic contact. A hybrid technique that combines thermoreflectance and cooling curve measurements is used to extract the device ZT. The measured Seebeck coefficient, thermal and electrical conductance, and ZT values at room temperatures are in agreement with the theoretical predictions using first-principles calculations combined with real-space Green's function formalism. This work lays the foundation for development of efficient thermionic devices.

Ultra-long carrier lifetime in neutral graphene-hBN van der Waals heterostructures under mid-infrared illumination.

Project description:Graphene/hBN heterostructures are promising active materials for devices in the THz domain, such as emitters and photodetectors based on interband transitions. Their performance requires long carrier lifetimes. However, carrier recombination processes in graphene possess sub-picosecond characteristic times for large non-equilibrium carrier densities at high energy. An additional channel has been recently demonstrated in graphene/hBN heterostructures by emission of hBN hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhP) with picosecond decay time. Here, we report on carrier lifetimes in graphene/hBN Zener-Klein transistors of ~30 ps for photoexcited carriers at low density and energy, using mid-infrared photoconductivity measurements. We further demonstrate the switching of carrier lifetime from ~30 ps (attributed to interband Auger) down to a few picoseconds upon ignition of HPhP relaxation at finite bias and/or with infrared excitation power. Our study opens interesting perspectives to exploit graphene/hBN heterostructures for THz lasing and highly sensitive THz photodetection as well as for phonon polariton optics.

Out-of-Plane Transport of 1T-TaS2/Graphene-Based van der Waals Heterostructures.

Project description:Due to their anisotropy, layered materials are excellent candidates for studying the interplay between the in-plane and out-of-plane entanglement in strongly correlated systems. A relevant example is provided by 1T-TaS2, which exhibits a multifaceted electronic and magnetic scenario due to the existence of several charge density wave (CDW) configurations. It includes quantum hidden phases, superconductivity and exotic quantum spin liquid (QSL) states, which are highly dependent on the out-of-plane stacking of the CDW. In this system, the interlayer stacking of the CDW is crucial for interpreting the underlying electronic and magnetic phase diagram. Here, atomically thin-layers of 1T-TaS2 are integrated in vertical van der Waals heterostructures based on few-layers graphene contacts and their electrical transport properties are measured. Different activation energies in the conductance and a gap at the Fermi level are clearly observed. Our experimental findings are supported by fully self-consistent DFT+U calculations, which evidence the presence of an energy gap in the few-layer limit, not necessarily coming from the formation of out-of-plane spin-paired bilayers at low temperatures, as previously proposed for the bulk. These results highlight dimensionality as a key effect for understanding quantum materials as 1T-TaS2, enabling the possible experimental realization of low-dimensional QSLs.

Large area molybdenum disulphide- epitaxial graphene vertical Van der Waals heterostructures.

Project description:Two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) show great potential for optoelectronic devices due to their electronic and optical properties. A metal-semiconductor interface, as epitaxial graphene - molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), is of great interest from the standpoint of fundamental science, as it constitutes an outstanding platform to investigate the interlayer interaction in van der Waals heterostructures. Here, we study large area MoS2-graphene-heterostructures formed by direct transfer of chemical-vapor deposited MoS2 layer onto epitaxial graphene/SiC. We show that via a direct transfer, which minimizes interface contamination, we can obtain high quality and homogeneous van der Waals heterostructures. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements combined with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that the transition from indirect to direct bandgap in monolayer MoS2 is maintained in these heterostructures due to the weak van der Waals interaction with epitaxial graphene. A downshift of the Raman 2D band of the graphene, an up shift of the A1g peak of MoS2 and a significant photoluminescence quenching are observed for both monolayer and bilayer MoS2 as a result of charge transfer from MoS2 to epitaxial graphene under illumination. Our work provides a possible route to modify the thin film TDMCs photoluminescence properties via substrate engineering for future device design.
