The gate‐all‐around nanowire transistor, due to its extremely tight electrostatic control and vertical integration capability, is a highly promising candidate for sub‐5 nm technology nodes. In particular, the junctionless nanowire transistors are highly scalable with reduced variability due to avoidance of steep source/drain junction formation by ion implantation. Here a dual‐gated junctionless nanowire p‐type field effect transistor is demonstrated using tellurium nanowire as the channel. The dangling‐bond‐free surface due to the unique helical crystal structure of the nanowire, coupled with an integration of dangling‐bond‐free, high quality hBN gate dielectric, allows for a phonon‐limited field effect hole mobility of 570 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 270 K, which is well above state‐of‐the‐art strained Si hole mobility. By lowering the temperature, the mobility increases to 1390 cm2 V−1 s−1 and becomes primarily limited by Coulomb scattering. The combination of an electron affinity of ≈4 eV and a small bandgap of tellurium provides zero Schottky barrier height for hole injection at the metal‐contact interface, which is remarkable for reduction of contact resistance in a highly scaled transistor. Exploiting these properties, coupled with the dual‐gated operation, we achieve a high drive current of 216 μA μm−1 while maintaining an on‐off ratio in excess of 2 × 104. The findings have intriguing prospects for alternate channel material based next‐generation electronics.
Moirésuperlattice (mSL)-induced sub-bands in twisted van der Waals homo-and heterostructures govern their optical and electrical properties, rendering additional degrees of freedom such as twist angle. Here, we demonstrate the moireś uperlattice effects on the intralayer excitons and trions in a twisted bilayer of MoS 2 of H-type stacking at marginal twist angles. We identify the emissions from localized and delocalized sub-bands of intralayer moiréexcitons and show their electrical modulation by the corresponding trion formation. The electrical control of the oscillator strength of the moiréexcitons also results in the strong tunability of resonant Raman scattering. We find that the gate-induced doping significantly modulates the electronic moirépotential; however, leaves the excitonic moiréconfinement unaltered. This effect, coupled with variable moirétrap filling by tuning the optical excitation density, allows us to delineate the different phases of localized and delocalized moirétrions. We demonstrate that the moiréexcitons exhibit strong valley coherence that changes in a striking nonmonotonic W-shape with gating due to motional narrowing. These observations from the simultaneous electrostatic control of quasiparticle-dependent moirépotential will lead to exciting effects of tunable many-body phenomena in moireś uperlattices.
Excitonic states trapped in harmonic moiré wells of twisted heterobilayers is an intriguing testbed for exploring many-body physics. However, the moiré potential is primarily governed by the twist angle, and its dynamic tuning remains a challenge. Here we demonstrate anharmonic tuning of moiré potential in a WS2/WSe2 heterobilayer through gate voltage and optical power. A gate voltage can result in a local in-plane perturbing field with odd parity around the high-symmetry points. This allows us to simultaneously observe the first (linear) and second (parabolic) order Stark shift for the ground state and first excited state, respectively, of the moiré trapped exciton - an effect opposite to conventional quantum-confined Stark shift. Depending on the degree of confinement, these excitons exhibit up to twenty-fold gate-tunability in the lifetime (100 to 5 ns). Also, exciton localization dependent dipolar repulsion leads to an optical power-induced blueshift of ~ 1 meV/μW - a five-fold enhancement over previous reports.
