Strain-engineered inverse charge-funnelling in layered semiconductors

Abstract: The control of charges in a circuit due to an external electric field is ubiquitous to the exchange, storage and manipulation of information in a wide range of applications. Conversely, the ability to grow clean interfaces between materials has been a stepping stone for engineering built-in electric fields largely exploited in modern photovoltaics and opto-electronics. The emergence of atomically thin semiconductors is now enabling new ways to attain electric fields and unveil novel charge transport mechanisms… Show more

“…This process can introduce strain in the atomic lattice thus modifying the optical and electronic properties of GaSe. [9g,20] A second observation is that the number of bubbles increases in time as shown by the bottom panel of Figure d. The initial formation and growth of an individual bubble is shown in Figure e by the cross section of the AFM images taken in the region highlighted by the arrows in panel (c).…”

“…Moreover, lattice vacancies and atomic-level defect combined with the presence of light can accelerate the oxidation process [4][5][6][7][8], which is typically accompanied by a degradation of the electrical and optical properties reducing the device performance [9][10]. Furthermore, shining high intensity light on 2D materials can induce additional processes of photo-oxidation [11][12][13][14]. The overall performance reduction induced by oxidation seems to be one of the main issues to solve in developing industrial applications based on 2D materials, therefore controlling the oxidation process is a very active subject for both fundamental and applied research in the context of band engineering.…”

“…However, ReS 2 within ten layers are all considered to have a direct bandgap [11], which means ReS 2 within ten layers can all perform well. Besides, the asymmetric lattice structure leads to weaker interlayer coupling energy, which benefits the exfoliation work, and thus makes the synaptic device much easier to fabricate [12][13][14][15]. In this study, ReS 2 film is used as a channel material.…”
