Light Generation and Harvesting in a van der Waals Heterostructure
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a new type of materials under intense study because of their interesting physical properties and wide range of potential applications from nanoelectronics to sensing and photonics. Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides MoS2 or WSe2 have been proposed as promising channel materials for field-effect transistors. Their high mechanical flex...
متن کاملFranckeite as a naturally occurring van der Waals heterostructure
The fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures, artificial materials assembled by individual stacking of 2D layers, is among the most promising directions in 2D materials research. Until now, the most widespread approach to stack 2D layers relies on deterministic placement methods, which are cumbersome and tend to suffer from poor control over the lattice orientations and the presence of unw...
متن کاملTunable Electronic Properties in van der Waals Heterostructure Germanene/Germanane
It is challenging to epitaxially grow germanene on conventional semiconductor substrate. Based on first-principles calculations, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of germanene/germanane heterostructure (HTS). The results indicate that the Dirac cone with nearly linear band dispersion of germanene maintains in the band gap of substrate. Remarkably, the band gap opened in th...
متن کاملStrain induced piezoelectric effect in black phosphorus and MoS2 van der Waals heterostructure
The structural, electronic, transport and optical properties of black phosphorus/MoS2 (BP/MoS2) van der Waals (vdw) heterostructure are investigated by using first principles calculations. The band gap of BP/MoS2 bilayer decreases with the applied normal compressive strain and a semiconductor-to-metal transition is observed when the applied strain is more than 0.85 Å. BP/MoS2 bilayer also exhib...
متن کاملUltrasensitive Near-Infrared Photodetectors Based on a Graphene-MoTe2-Graphene Vertical van der Waals Heterostructure.
Graphene and other layered materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, have rapidly established themselves as exceptional building blocks for optoelectronic applications because of their unique properties and atomically thin nature. The ability to stack them into van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures with new functionality has opened a new platform for fundamental research and device a...
