High-Mobility Hole Transport in Single-Grain PbSe Quantum Dot Superlattice Transistors.

ABSTRACT: Epitaxially-fused superlattices of colloidal quantum dots (QD epi-SLs) may exhibit electronic minibands and high-mobility charge transport, but electrical measurements of epi-SLs have been limited to large-area, polycrystalline samples in which superlattice grain boundaries and intragrain defects suppress/obscure miniband effects. Systematic measurements of charge transport in individual, highly-ordered epi-SL grains would facilitate the study of minibands in QD films. Here, we demonstrate the air-free fabrication of microscale field-effect transistors (μ-FETs) with channels consisting of single PbSe QD epi-SL grains (2-7 μm channel dimensions) and analyze charge transport in these single-grain devices. The eight devices studied show p-channel or ambipolar transport with a hole mobi
