Defect Dominated Charge Transport and Fermi Level Pinning in MoS2/Metal Contacts
Understanding the electronic contact between molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and metal electrodes is vital for the realization of future MoS2-based electronic devices. Natural MoS2 has the drawback of a high density of both metal and sulfur defects and impurities. We present evidence that subsurface metal-like defects with a density of ∼1011 cm-2 induce negative ionization of the outermost S atom c...
متن کاملObservation of surface charge screening and Fermi level pinning on a synthetic, boron-doped diamond
Spectroscopic current-voltage (1-v) curves taken with a scanning tunneling microscope on a synthetic, boron-doped diamond single crystal indicate that the diamond, boiled in acid and baked to 500 “C in vacuum, does not exhibit ideal Schottky characteristics. These 1-V curves taken in ultrahigh vacuum do not fit the traditional theory of thermionic emission; however, the deviation from ideal can...
متن کاملCharge-Transfer Complexation of C with Diphenyltetrathiafulvalene
m 0 7 r m a d s a t p f t u 4,4*-Diphenyltetrathiafulvalene (DPTTF) capped gold nanoarticles of 3to 5-nm diameter have been prepared and their hermal stability has been investigated by variable temperature T–IR spectroscopy. The DPTTF molecules at the cluster surface ndergo charge-transfer complexation with C60 to form Au/ PTTF.C60. Direct evidence of complexation is observed in the -ray photoe...
متن کاملSurface recombination, surface states and Fermi level pinning
2014 Surface and interface recombination processes, which are becoming more and more important with the appearance of small-size optoelectronic devices, are still not well understood because reliable data are very scarce. We report here the first simultaneous in situ measurements of the density and position of surface states, of the position of the Fermi level at the surface, and of the surface...
متن کاملFermi-level pinning can determine polarity in semiconductor nanorods
First-principles calculations of polar semiconductor nanorods reveal that their dipole moments are strongly influenced by Fermi-level pinning. The Fermi level for an isolated nanorod is found to coincide with a significant density of electronic surface states at the end surfaces, which are either mid-gap states or band-edge states. These states pin the Fermi level, and therefore fix the potenti...
