Near-Unity Absorption in van der Waals Semiconductors for Ultrathin Optoelectronics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate near-unity, broadband absorbing optoelectronic devices using sub-15 nm thick transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) of molybdenum and tungsten as van der Waals semiconductor active layers. Specifically, we report that near-unity light absorption is possible in extremely thin (<15 nm) van der Waals semiconductor structures by coupling to strongly damped optical modes of semiconductor/metal heterostructures. We further fabricate Schottky junction devices using these highly absorbing heterostructures and characterize their optoelectronic performance. Our work addresses one of the key criteria to enable TMDCs as potential candidates to achieve high optoelectronic efficiency.

Determination of the Second Virial Coefficient for Binary Mixtures of Ar with CH4 and CO using Van der Waals and Dieterici Models
In this paper, we calculate the second virial coefficient for binary mixtures of Ar with CH4 and CO in order to evaluate the performance of equations of state (EOSs). The investigated EOSs are van der Waals (vdW), Redlich-Kwong (RK), Peng-Robinson (PR), Carnahan-Starling–van der Waals (CS-vdW) and Guggenheim-van der Waals (G-vdW) based on van der Waals model. In our work, we also use Dieterici ...
متن کاملVan der Waals Materials for Atomically-Thin Photovoltaics: Promise and Outlook
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors provide a unique opportunity for optoelectronics due to their layered atomic structure, electronic and optical properties. To date, a majority of the application-oriented research in this field has been focused on fieldeffect electronics as well as photodetectors and light emitting diodes. Here we present a perspective on the use of 2D semiconductors for phot...

متن کاملVolumetric properties of high temperature, high pressure supercritical fluids from improved van der Waals equation of state
In the present work, a modified equation of state has been presented for the calculation of volumetric properties of supercritical fluids. The equation of state is van der Waals basis with temperature and density-dependent parameters. This equation of state has been applied for predicting the volumetric properties of fluids. The densities of fluids were calculated from the new equation of state...
