异质结构的构筑与堆垛是新型二维材料物性调控及应用的有效策略.基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,本文研究了4种不同堆叠构型的新型二维Janus Ga₂SeTe/In₂Se₃范德瓦耳斯异质结的电子结构和光学性质. 4种异质结构型均为Ⅱ型能带结构的间接带隙半导体,光致电子的供体和受体材料由二维In₂Se₃的极化方向决定.光吸收度在可见光区域高达25%,有利于太阳可见光的有效利用.双轴应变可诱导直接-间接带隙转变,外加电场能有效调控异质结构带隙,使AA2叠加构型的带隙从0.195 eV单调增大到0.714 eV,AB2叠加构型的带隙从0.859 eV单调减小到0.058 eV,两种调控作用下异质结的能带始终保持Ⅱ型结构.压缩应变作用下的异质结在波长较短的可见光区域表现出更优异的光吸收能力.这些研究结果揭示了Janus Ga₂SeTe/In₂Se₃范德瓦耳斯异质结电子结构的调控机理,为新型光电器件的设计提供理论指导.

在众多二维材料中,过渡金属硫族化合物由于其具有独特的光电特性深受广大研究者喜爱.近年来,由二维过渡金属硫族化合物材料与有机半导体结合构建的范德瓦耳斯异质结受到极大的关注.这种异质结可以利用两者的优势对光电特性等性能进行调控,为许多基础物理和功能器件的构建提供了研究思路.本文构建了酞菁铜/二硫化钼(CuPc/MoS₂)范德瓦耳斯异质结,并对其荧光特性进行了表征和分析.与单层MoS₂相比较发现,引入有机半导体CuPc后,异质结当中发生了明显的荧光淬灭现象.通过荧光分析,该现象可以用引入CuPc后异质结中负三激子与中性激子之比增加来解释.此外,通过第一性原理计算分析发现,引入CuPc会在MoS₂的禁带中引入中间带隙态,使得CuPc与MoS₂之间产生非辐射复合,这同样会导致荧光淬灭的发生.CuPc/MoS₂异质结的荧光淬灭现象可以为同类型范德瓦耳斯异质结的光电特性调控研究提供参考和思路.     

Electronic Transport and Thermopower in 2D and 3D Heterostructures—A Theory Perspective

The impact of interfaces and heterojuctions on the electronic and thermoelectric transport properties of materials is discussed herein. Recent progress in understanding electronic transport in heterostructures of 2D materials ranging from graphene to transition metal dichalcogenides, their homojunctions (grain boundaries), lateral heterojunctions (such as graphene/MoS₂ lateral interfaces), and vertical van der Waals heterostructures is reviewed. Work on thermopower in 2D heterojunctions, as well as their applications in creating devices such as resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs), is also discussed. Last, the focus turns to work in 3D heterostructures. While transport in 3D heterostructures has been researched for several decades, here recent progress in theory and simulation of quantum effects on transport via the Wigner and non‐equilibrium Green's functions approaches is reviewed. These simulation techniques have been successfully applied toward understanding the impact of heterojunctions on transport properties and thermopower, which finds applications in energy harvesting, and electron resonant tunneling, with applications in RTDs. In conclusion, tremendous progress has been made in both simulation and experiments toward the goal of understanding transport in heterostructures and this progress will soon be parlayed into improved energy converters and quantum nanoelectronic devices.

Low-frequency interlayer vibration modes in two-dimensional layered materials

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have been attracted tremendous research interest because of their novel photoelectric properties. If a single atomic layer instead of individual atoms is taken as a rigid motion object, two unique interlayer vibrations, i.e. compression/breathing and shear motions, at ultra-low frequencies can be expected and actually have been observed in many layered materials. The vibrations stem from the interlayer van der Waals interaction and can be well described by a conventional linear-chain model in most cases. The vibration frequencies strongly depend on layer thickness, which enables an accurate determination of layer numbers. A quick and nondestructive determination of flake thickness is particularly important for the materials, since the physical properties can be dramatically changed in the cases of several atomic layers. As a measure of interlayer coupling, the low-frequency modes are also sensitive to the stacking methods of atomic layers and the overlapping of different kinds of 2D materials. This allows the modes to play a key role in the applications like van der Waals heterojunctions. In this paper, we will give a brief review on the experimental observations and theoretical understanding of the interlayer modes in several typical 2D systems, as well as their actual and potential applications.     

Observation of magnetoresistance in CrI3/graphene van der Waals heterostructures

Two-dimensional ferromagnetic van der Waals (2D vdW) heterostructures have opened new avenues for creating artificial materials with unprecedented electrical and optical functions beyond the reach of isolated 2D atomic layered materials, and for manipulating spin degree of freedom at the limit of few atomic layers, which empower next-generation spintronic and memory devices. However, to date, the electronic properties of 2D ferromagnetic heterostructures still remain elusive. Here, we report an unambiguous magnetoresistance behavior in CrI₃/graphene heterostructures, with a maximum magnetoresistance ratio of 2.8%. The magnetoresistance increases with increasing magnetic field, which leads to decreasing carrier densities through Lorentz force, and decreases with the increase of the bias voltage. This work highlights the feasibilities of applying two-dimensional ferromagnetic vdW heterostructures in spintronic and memory devices.     

Photodetecting and light-emitting devices based on two-dimensional materials

Two-dimensional(2D) materials, e.g., graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs), and black phosphorus(BP), have demonstrated fascinating electrical and optical characteristics and exhibited great potential in optoelectronic applications. High-performance and multifunctional devices were achieved by employing diverse designs, such as hybrid systems with nanostructured materials, bulk semiconductors and organics, forming 2D heterostructures. In this review,we mainly discuss the recent progress of 2D materials in high-responsive photodetectors, light-emitting devices and single photon emitters. Hybrid systems and van der Waals heterostructure-based devices are emphasized, which exhibit great potential in state-of-the-art applications.     

Chemical vapor deposition growth of two-dimensional heterojunctions

The properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials with atom-smooth surface and special interlayer van der Waals coupling are different from those of traditional materials. Due to the absence of dangling bonds from the clean surface of 2D layered materials, the lattice mismatch influences slightly on the growth of 2D heterojunctions, thus providing a flexible design strategy. 2D heterojunctions have attracted extensive attention because of their excellent performance in optoelectronics, spintronics, and valleytronics. The transfer method was utilized for the fabrication of 2D heterojunctions during the early stage of fundamental research on these materials. This method, however, has limited practical applications. Therefore, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method was recently developed and applied for the preparation of 2D heterojunctions. The CVD method is a naturally down-top growth strategy that yields 2D heterojunctions with sharp interfaces. Moreover, this method effectively reduces the introduction of contaminants to the fabricated heterojunctions. Nevertheless, the CVD-growth method is sensitive to variations in growth conditions. In this review article, we attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the influence of growth conditions on the fabrication of 2D heterojunctions through the direct CVD method. We believe that elucidating the effects of growth conditions on the CVD method is necessary to help control and improve the efficiency of the large-scale fabrication of 2D heterojunctions for future applications in integrated circuits.     

Resonance Tunneling Phenomena in Two-Dimensional Multilayer van der Waals Crystalline Systems

Works, mostly experimental, concerning the most interesting features of application of the resonant tunneling spectroscopy to a new type of heterosystems, van der Waals heterostructures, have been briefly reviewed. These heterostructures appeared after the recent discovery of two-dimensional crystals, which are a new class of materials beginning with graphene. The role of the angular matching of crystal lattices of conducting graphene electrodes of van der Waals systems in carrier tunneling between them has been analyzed together with the closely related problems of satisfaction of conservation laws in tunneling transitions. Manifestations of multiparticle correlation interactions between carriers in van der Waals systems such as Wigner crystallization of electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field and Bose condensation of excitons in parallel two-dimensional electron gases have been briefly discussed.
