Abstract
Heterostructures based on two-dimensional materials offer the possibility to achieve synergistic functionalities, which otherwise remain secluded by their individual counterparts. Herein, ferroelectric polarization switching in α-In2Se3 has been utilized to engineer multilevel nonvolatile conduction states in a partially overlapping α-In2Se3-MoS2-based ferroelectric semiconducting field effect device. In particular, we demonstrate how the intercoupled ferroelectric nature of α-In2Se3 allows to nonvolatilely switch between n-i and n-i-n type junction configurations based on a novel edge state actuation mechanism, paving the way for subnanometric scale nonvolatile device miniaturization. Furthermore, the induced asymmetric polarization enables enhanced photogenerated carriers' separation, resulting in an extremely high photoresponse of ∼1275 A/W in the visible range and strong nonvolatile modulation of the bright A- and B- excitonic emission channels in the overlaying MoS2 monolayer. Our results show significant potential to harness the switchable polarization in partially overlapping α-In2Se3-MoS2 based FeFETs to engineer multimodal, nonvolatile nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices.

[PMID: 36577350 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.12.075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has attracted extensive attention as an ultrasensitive detection method. However, the poor biocompatibility and expensive synthesis cost of noble metal SERS substrates have become non-negligible factors that limit the development of SERS technology. Metal chalcogenide semiconductors as an alternative to noble metal SERS substrates can avoid these disadvantages, but the enhancement effect is lower than that of noble metal substrates. Here, we report a method to co-modify MoS2 by Ni and O, which improves the carrier concentration and mobility of MoS2. The SERS effect of the modified MoS2 is comparable to that of noble metals. We found that the improved SERS performance of MoS2 can be attributed to the following two factors: strong interfacial dipole-dipole interaction and efficient charge transfer effect. During the doping process, the incorporation of Ni and O enhances the polarity and carrier concentration of MoS2, enhances the interfacial interaction of MoS2, and provides a basis for charge transfer. During the annealing process, the introduction of O atoms into the S defects reduces the internal defects of doped MoS2, improves the carrier mobility, and promotes the efficient charge transfer effect of MoS2. The final modified MoS2 as a SERS substrate realizes low-concentration detection of bilirubin, cytochrome C, and trichlorfon. This provides promising guidance for the practical inspection of metal chalcogenide semiconductor substrates.

Abstract
Two-dimensional and pseudo-2D systems come in various forms. Membranes separating protocells from the environment were necessary for life to occur. Later, compartmentalization allowed for the development of more complex cellular structures. Nowadays, 2D materials (e.g., graphene, molybdenum disulfide) are revolutionizing the smart materials industry. Surface engineering allows for novel functionalities, as only a limited number of bulk materials have the desired surface properties. This is realized via physical treatment (e.g., plasma treatment, rubbing), chemical modifications, thin film deposition (using both chemical and physical methods), doping and formulation of composites, or coating. However, artificial systems are usually static. Nature creates dynamic and responsive structures, which facilitates the formation of complex systems. The challenge of nanotechnology, physical chemistry, and materials science is to develop artificial adaptive systems. Dynamic 2D and pseudo-2D designs are needed for future developments of life-like materials and networked chemical systems in which the sequences of the stimuli would control the consecutive stages of the given process. This is crucial to achieving versatility, improved performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Here, we review the advancements in studies on adaptive, responsive, dynamic, and out-of-equilibrium 2D and pseudo-2D systems composed of molecules, polymers, and nano/microparticles.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:3599. [PMID: 36296789 PMCID: PMC9610695 DOI: 10.3390/nano12203599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Two interacting double quantum dots (DQDs) can be suitable candidates for operation in the applications of quantum information processing and computation. In this work, DQDs are modeled by the heterostructure of two-dimensional (2D) MoS2 having 1T-phase embedded in 2H-phase with the aim to investigate the feasibility of controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate operation with the Coulomb interaction. The Hamiltonian of the system is constructed by two models, namely the 2D electronic potential model and the 4×4 matrix model whose matrix elements are computed from the approximated two-level systems interaction. The dynamics of states are carried out by the Crank-Nicolson method in the potential model and by the fourth order Runge-Kutta method in the matrix model. Model parameters are analyzed to optimize the CNOT operation feasibility and fidelity, and investigate the behaviors of DQDs in different regimes. Results from both models are in excellent agreement, indicating that the constructed matrix model can be used to simulate dynamical behaviors of two interacting DQDs with lower computational resources. For CNOT operation, the two DQD systems with the Coulomb interaction are feasible, though optimization of engineering parameters is needed to achieve optimal fidelity.

Abstract
In-plane anisotropic materials can introduce additional degrees of freedom while tuning their physical properties, which expand the range of opportunities for designing novel semiconductor devices and exploring distinct applications. In this work, we investigate the in-plane anisotropic electronic, elastic, transport and piezoelectric properties in a family of isostructural telluride XYTe4 (X = Hf, Zr and Ti, Y = Si and Ge) monolayers based on first-principles calculations. Six types of structures are verified to harbor direct bandgaps at the Γ point ranging between 0.98 and 1.36 eV. The orientation-dependent in-plane elastic stiffness of XYTe4 reveals the anisotropic and ultrasoft nature. Superior dielectric constants and giant switching effects are found in TiGeTe4 monolayers because of giant in-plane anisotropy. Strikingly, the piezoelectric coefficients of XSiTe4 differ by an order of magnitude along the two main directions. The strong in-plane anisotropic elastic properties of XYTe4 monolayers together with outstanding piezoelectric responses show that these structures can compete with that of transition metal dichalcogenides for applications in the field of flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
2D-semiconductors with strong light-matter interaction are attractive materials for integrated and tunable optical devices. Here, we demonstrate room-temperature wavelength multiplexing of the two-primary bright excitonic channels (Ab-, Bb-) in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) arising from a dark exciton mediated transition. We present how tuning dark excitons via an out-of-plane electric field cedes the system equilibrium from one excitonic channel to the other, encoding the field polarization into wavelength information. In addition, we demonstrate how such exciton multiplexing is dictated by thermal-scattering by performing temperature dependent photoluminescence measurements. Finally, we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically how excitonic mixing can explain preferable decay through dark states in MoX2 in comparison with WX2 monolayers. Such field polarization-based manipulation of excitonic transitions can pave the way for novel photonic device architectures.
