We report ab initio calculations of the dielectric function of six mono-and bilayer molybdenum dichalcogenides based in a Bethe Salpeter equation+G0W0 (BSE@G0W0)ansatz, focussing on the excitonic transitions dominating the absorption spectrum up to an excitation energy of 3.2 eV. Our calculations suggest that switching chalcogen atoms and the strength of interlayer interactions should affect the detailed composition of the high 'C' peaks in experimental optical spectra of molybdenum dichalcogenides and cause a significant spin-orbit-splitting of the contributing excitonic transitions in monolayer MoSe2 and MoTe2. This can be explained through changes in the electronic dispersion around the Fermi energy along the chalcogen series S→Se→Te that move the van-Hove singularities in the density of states of the two-dimensional materials along the Γ-K line in the Brillouin zone. Further, we confirm the distinct interlayer character of the 'C' peak transition in few-layer MoS2 that was predicted before from experimental data and show that a similar behaviour can be expected for MoSe2 and MoTe2 as well.

“…The monolayer MoS 2 itself is too thin to absorb enough incoming light. In the previous paper, we have designed MoS 2 /GaAs solar cells with a power conversion efficiency over 9.03% [35], which utilizes the good optoelectronic characteristics and high carrier mobility of GaAs [36][37][38]. In this communication, we design a simple and high performance …”

Two dimensional material/semiconductor heterostructures offer alternative platforms for optoelectronic devices other than conventional Schottky and p-n junction devices. Herein, we use MoS 2 /GaAs heterojunction as a self-driven photodetector with wide response band width from ultraviolet to visible light, which exhibits high sensitivity to the incident light of 635 nm with responsivity as 446 mA/W and detectivity as 5.9×10 13 Jones (Jones = cm Hz 1/2 W -1 ), respectively. Employing interface design by inserting h-BN and photo-induced doping by coveringSi quantum dots on the device, the responsivity is increased to 419 mA/W for incident light of 635 nm. Distinctly, attributing to the low dark current of the MoS 2 /h-BN/GaAs sandwich structure based on the self-driven operation condition, the detectivity shows extremely high value of 1.9 × 10 14 Jones for incident light of 635 nm, which is higher than all the reported values of the MoS 2 based photodetectors.

“…The presence of the obvious band gap allows the fabrication of the MoS 2 transistors with an on/off ratio exceeding 10 8 and the photodetectors with high responsivity [7, 8]. Recently, MoS 2 combined with other semiconductors has attracted much interest, such as GaAs, Si, and GaN [9–13]. These designed heterostructures supply feasible technical route for MoS 2 -based materials to develop practically applicable optoelectronic devices.…”

Large Lateral Photovoltaic Effect in MoS2/GaAs Heterojunction

et al. 2017

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoscaled films are deposited on GaAs substrates via magnetron sputtering technique, and MoS2/GaAs heterojunctions are fabricated. The lateral photovoltaic effect (LPE) of the fabricated MoS2/GaAs heterojunctions is investigated. The results show that a large LPE can be obtained in the MoS2/n-GaAs heterojunction. The LPE exhibits a linear dependence on the position of the laser illumination and the considerably high sensitivity of 416.4 mV mm− 1. This sensitivity is much larger than the values in other reported MoS2-based devices. Comparatively, the LPE in the MoS2/p-GaAs heterojunction is much weaker. The mechanisms to the LPE are unveiled by constructing the energy-band alignment of the MoS2/GaAs heterojunctions. The excellent LPE characteristics make MoS2 films combined with GaAs semiconductors promising candidates for the application of high-performance position-sensitive detectors.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s11671-017-2334-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
