We propose a physical model based on disordered (a hole punched inside a material) monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to demonstrate a large‐gap quantum valley Hall insulator. We find an emergence of bound states lying inside the bulk gap of the TMDs. They are strongly affected by spin–valley coupling, rest‐ and kinetic‐mass terms and the hole size. In addition, in the whole range of the hole size, at least two in‐gap bound states with opposite angular momentum, circulating around the edge of the hole, exist.Their topological insulator (TI) feature is analyzed by the Chern number, characterized by spacial distribution of their probabilities and confirmed by energy dispersion curves (energy vs. angular momentum). It not only sheds light on overcoming low‐temperature operating limitation of existing narrow‐gap TIs, but also opens an opportunity to realize valley‐ and spin‐qubits.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with fascinating electronic energy band structures, rich valley physical properties and strong spin–orbit coupling have attracted tremendous interest, and show great potential in electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic and valleytronic fields. Stacking 2D TMDs have provided unprecedented opportunities for constructing artificial functional structures. Due to the low cost, high yield and industrial compatibility, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is regarded as one of the most promising growth strategies to obtain high-quality and large-area 2D TMDs and heterostructures. Here, state-of-the-art strategies for preparing TMDs details of growth control and related heterostructures construction via CVD method are reviewed and discussed, including wafer-scale synthesis, phase transition, doping, alloy and stacking engineering. Meanwhile, recent progress on the application of multi-functional devices is highlighted based on 2D TMDs. Finally, challenges and prospects are proposed for the practical device applications of 2D TMDs. 相似文献

We theoretically study the temperature dependence of the excitonic spectra of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides using the O′Donnell equation, \({E_g}(T) = {E_g}(0) - S\langle \hbar \omega \rangle [cloth(\frac{{\hbar \omega }}{{2{k_B}T}} - 1)]\). We develop a theoretical model for the quantitative estimation of the Huang–Rhys factor S and average phonon energy \(\langle \hbar \omega \rangle \) based on exciton coupling with longitudinal optical and acoustic phonons in the Fröhlich and deformation potential mechanisms, respectively. We present reasonable explanations for the fitted values of the Huang–Rhys factor and average phonon energy adopted in experiments. Comparison with experimental results reveals that the temperature dependence of the peak position in the excitonic spectra can be well reproduced by modulating the polarization parameter and deformation potential constant. 相似文献

Due to the structure of three stacked layers, monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is different from graphene. Creating atomically flat graphene-like edges in them has long been expected, which is crucial to the modulation of electronic structures in two-dimensional systems. Recently, by thermal annealing, Chen et al. [21] successfully synthesized atomically flat Mo-terminated edge in monolayer MoS2. Inspired by this, through first-principles calculations, we studied the electronic and transport properties of typical TMD monolayers with transition atom-terminated flat zigzag edges, i.e., ScS2, VS2, CrS2, FeS2, NiS2, MoS2 and WS2. It is found that the nanoribbons with and without flat edges are both metallic. Interestingly, the vacancy in the flat edge could open a transmission gap at the Fermi level in the ScS2 ribbon, and trigger a metal-semiconductor transition. Further analysis shows that, the opening of bandgap around the Fermi level induced by the specific pattern of vacancies is the mechanism behind, which could be used as an modulating method for electronic structures. We believe our results are quite beneficial for the development of many other monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides configurations, showing great application potential. 相似文献

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have stimulated enormous research interest due to rich phase structure, high theoretical carrier mobility and layer-dependent bandgap. In view of the close correlation between defects and properties in 2D TMDCs, more attentions have been paid on the defect engineering in recent years, however the mechanism is still unclear. Herein, we review the critical progress of defect engineering and provide an extensive way to modulate the properties depressed by defects. To insight into the defect engineering, we firstly introduce two common kinds of defects during the growth progress of TMDCs and the possible distribution of energy levels those defects could induce. Then, various methods to improve point defects and grain boundaries during the period of growth are discussed intensively, with the assistance of which more large-area TMDCs films can be obtained. Considering the defects in TMDCs are inevitable regardless of concentration, we also highlight strategies to heal the defects after growth. Through dry methods or wet methods, the chalcogen vacancies can be repaired and thus, the performance of electronic device would be significantly enhanced. Finally, we propose the challenges and prospective for defect engineering in 2D TMDCs materials to support the optimization of device and lead them to wide applied fields. 相似文献

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides can normally exist in several structural polymorphs with distinct electrical, optical, and catalytic properties. Effective control of the relative stability and transformation of different phases in these materials is thus of critical importance for applications. Using density functional theory calculations, we investigate the effects of low-work-function metal substrates including Ti, Zr, and Hf on the structural, electronic, and catalytic properties of monolayer MoS2 and WS2. The results indicate that such substrates not only convert the energetically stable structure from the 1H phase to the 1T'/1T phase, but also significantly reduce the kinetic barriers of the phase transformation. Furthermore, our calculations also indicate that the 1T' phase of MoS2 with Zr or Hf substrate is a potential catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction. 相似文献

Transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs) have gained considerable attention because of their novel properties and great potential applications. The flakes of TMDCs not only have great light absorption from visible to near infrared, but also can be stacked together regardless of lattice mismatch like other two-dimensional(2D) materials. Along with the studies on intrinsic properties of TMDCs, the junctions based on TMDCs become more and more important in applications of photodetection. The junctions have shown many exciting possibilities to fully combine the advantages of TMDCs, other2 D materials, conventional and organic semiconductors together. Early studies have greatly enriched the application of TMDCs in photodetection. In this review, we investigate the efforts in photodetectors based on the junctions of TMDCs and analyze the properties of those photodetectors. Homojunctions based on TMDCs can be made by surface chemical doping,elemental doping and electrostatic gating. Heterojunction formed between TMDCs/2D materials, TMDCs/conventional semiconductors and TMDCs/organic semiconductor also deserve more attentions. We also compare the advantages and disadvantages of different junctions, and then give the prospects for the development of junctions based on TMDCs. 相似文献

We perform density functional theory calculation to investigate the structural and electronic properties of various two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, MX2 (M=Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, or W, and X=S or Se), and their strain-induced phase transitions. We evaluate the relative stability and the activation barrier between the octahedral-T and the trigonal-H phases of each MX2. It is found that the equilibrium and phase transition characteristics of MX2 can be classified by the group to which its metal element M belongs in the periodic table. MX2 with M in the group 4 (Ti, Zr, or Hf), forms an octahedral-T phase, while that with an M in the group 6 (Cr, Mo, or W) does a trigonal-H phase. On the other hand, MX2 with M in the group 5 (V, Nb, or Ta), which is in-between the groups 4 and 6, may form either phase with a similar stability. It is also found that their electronic structures are strongly correlated to the structural configurations: mostly metallic in the T phase, while semiconducting in the H phase, although there are some exceptions. We also explore the effects of an applied stress and find for some MX2 materials that the resultant strain, either tensile or compressive, may induce a structural phase transition by reducing the transition energy barrier, which is, in some cases, accompanied by its metal-insulator transition. 相似文献

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have suitable and adjustable band gaps, high carrier mobility and yield. Layered TMDCs have attracted great attention due to the structure diversity, stable existence in normal temperature environment and the band gap corresponding to wavelength between infrared and visible region. The ultra-thin, flat, almost defect-free surface, excellent mechanical flexibility and chemical stability provide convenient conditions for the construction of different types of TMDCs heterojunctions. The optoelectric properties of heterojunctions based on TMDCs materials are summarized in this review. Special electronic band structures of TMDCs heterojunctions lead to excellent optoelectric properties. The emitter, p-n diodes, photodetectors and photosensitive devices based on TMDCs heterojunction materials show excellent performance. These devices provide a prototype for the design and development of future high-performance optoelectric devices. 相似文献

用氢对单层二维过渡金属硫化物(TMDs)进行功能化是调节单层TMDs电子性质的既有效又经济的方法.采用密度泛函理论,对单层TMDs (MX_2 (M=Mo, W; X=S, Se, Te))的稳定性和电子性质进行理论研究,发现在单层MX_2 的层间有一个比其表面更稳定的氢吸附位点.当同阳离子时,随着阴离子原子序数的增加, H原子与MX_2 层的结合越强,氢化单层MX_2 结构越稳定;相反,同阴离子时,随着阳离子原子序数的增加, H原子与MX_2 层的结合越弱.氢原子从MoS_2的表面经层间穿越到另一表面的扩散势垒约为0.9 eV.氢化对单层MX_2 的电子特性也会产生极大的影响,主要表现在氢化实现了MX_2 体系从无磁性到磁性体系的过渡.表面氢化会使MX_2 层的带隙急剧减小,而层间氢化使MX_2 的电子结构从半导体转变为金属能带. 相似文献

柔性基底体系是晶体外延生长领域于20世纪90年代提出的概念.其核心思想是利用超薄的基底,使其在外延生长时能同时与外延晶膜发生应变,以抵消二者之间的晶格失配,从而减少外延晶膜中的位错,提高晶膜的质量.但是人工制备性能优良的超薄基底往往需要较为复杂的工艺.另一方面,过渡金属硫族化合物由于其层状结构特性和层间较弱的范德瓦耳斯相互作用,是天然的柔性基底.本文介绍近几年来新发展的过渡金属硫族化合物柔性基底体系的模型及应用.以Au-MoS2作为柔性基底外延生长的原型,结合密度泛函理论、线性弹性理论以及位错理论构建模型,并根据计算结果解释了早先利用透射电子显微镜观测到的Au薄膜在MoS2上外延生长的相关实验现象.此外,本文还介绍了受到该理论模型启发的相关实验工作,特别是利用Au薄膜分离大面积、单层、高质量MoS2的技术.最后,讨论了在该领域内值得关注和进一步探索的理论问题. 相似文献

The two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides provide new opportunities in future valley-based information processing and also provide an ideal platform to study excitonic effects. At the center of various device physics toward their possible electronic and optoelectronic applications is understanding the dynamical evolution of various manyparticle electronic states, especially exciton which dominates the optoelectronic response of TMDs, under the novel context of valley degree of freedom. Here, we provide a brief review of experimental advances in using helicity-resolved ultrafast spectroscopy, especially ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopy, to study the dynamical evolution of valley-related many-particle electronic states in semiconducting monolayer transitional metal dichalcogenides. 相似文献

Van der Waals(vdW)heterobilayers formed by two-dimensional(2D)transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs)created a promising platform for various electronic and optical properties,ab initio band results indicate that the band offset of type-Ⅱband alignment in TMDCs vdW heterobilayer could be tuned by introducing Janus WSSe monolayer,instead of an external electric field.On the basis of symmetry analysis,the allowed interlayer hopping channels of TMDCs vdW heterobilayer were determined,and a four-level k·p model was developed to obtain the interlayer hopping.Results indicate that the interlayer coupling strength could be tuned by interlayer electric polarization featured by various band offsets.Moreover,the difference in the formation mechanism of interlayer valley excitons in different TMDCs vdW heterobilayers with various interlayer hopping strength was also clarified. 相似文献

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are emerging as promising candidates for the next-generation nanoelectronics. As a type of unique channel materials, 2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), such as MoS2 and WS2, exhibit great potential for the state-of-the-art field-effect transistors owing to their atomically thin thicknesses, dangling-band free surfaces, and abundant band structures. Even so, the device performances of 2D semiconducting TMDCs are still failing to reach the theoretical values so far, which is attributed to the intrinsic defects, excessive doping, and daunting contacts between electrodes and channels. In this article, we review the up-to-date three strategies for improving the device performances of 2D semiconducting TMDCs: (i) the controllable synthesis of wafer-scale 2D semiconducting TMDCs single crystals to reduce the evolution of grain boundaries, (ii) the ingenious doping of 2D semiconducting TMDCs to modulate the band structures and suppress the impurity scatterings, and (iii) the optimization design of interfacial contacts between electrodes and channels to reduce the Schottky barrier heights and contact resistances. In the end, the challenges regarding the improvement of device performances of 2D semiconducting TMDCs are highlighted, and the further research directions are also proposed. We believe that this review is comprehensive and insightful for downscaling the electronic devices and extending the Moore’s law. 相似文献

Four vertical heterostructures based on two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) – MoS2/GeC, MoSe2/GeC, WS2/GeC, and WSe2/GeC, were studied by density functional theory calculations to investigate their structure, electronic characteristics, principle of photogenerated electron–hole separation, and optical-absorption capability. The optimized heterostructures were formed by van der Waals (vdW) forces and without covalent bonding. Their most stable geometric configurations and band structures display type-II band alignment, which allows them to spontaneously separate photogenerated electrons and holes. The charge difference and built-in electric field across the interface of these vdW heterostructures also contribute to preventing the photogenerated electron–hole recombination. Finally, the high optical absorption of the four TMD-based vdW heterostructures in the visible and near-infrared regions indicates their suitability for photocatalytic, photovoltaic, and optical devices. 相似文献

Recently, the layered transition metal dichalcogenide 1T′-MoTe2 has generated considerable interest due to their superconducting and non-trivial topological properties. Here, we present a systematic study on 1T′-MoTe2 single-crystal and exfoliated thin-flakes by means of electrical transport, scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) measurements and band structure calculations. For a bulk sample, it exhibits large magneto-resistance (MR) and Shubnikov–de Hass oscillations in ρxx and a series of Hall plateaus in ρxy at low temperatures. Meanwhile, the MoTe2 thin films were intensively investigated with thickness dependence. For samples, without encapsulation, an apparent transition from the intrinsic metallic to insulating state is observed by reducing thickness. In such thin films, we also observed a suppression of the MR and weak anti-localization (WAL) effects. We attributed these effects to disorders originated from the extrinsic surface chemical reaction, which is consistent with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in-situ STM results. In contrast to samples without encapsulated protection, we discovered an interesting superconducting transition for those samples with hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) film protection. Our results indicate that the metallic or superconducting behavior is its intrinsic state, and the insulating behavior is likely caused by surface oxidation in few layer 1T′-MoTe2 flakes. 相似文献

We study the dynamic of magneto-polaron condensate in monolayer two dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials of 2H types in triangular quantum well potential. Within both the quantum mechanical Schrödinger approach (QMSA) and the improved Wigner-Brillouin theory (IWBT), Landau energies levels (LELs) are derived. We have shown that the magneto-polaron condensation is enhanced in monolayer MoSe2 compared to MoS2, WS2 and WSe2. We derive various levels by increasing a magnetic field and laser parameter. We show that the quantum confinement lifts the degeneracy of the Landau levels (LLs) resulting in an anticrossing and crossing. The dephasing effect due to the quantum well potential's parameter plays an important role in the magneto-polaron energy corrections, which are also affected by the amplitude of the laser field. The system presents Stückelberg oscillations which is important for practical applications. 相似文献

The transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) monolayers have shown strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) owing to their lack of inversion symmetry. These ultrathin layers then serve as the frequency converters that can be intergraded on a chip. Here, taking MoSSe as an example, we report the first detailed experimental study of the SHG of Janus TMD monolayer, in which the transition metal layer is sandwiched by the two distinct chalcogen layers. It is shown that the SHG effectively arises from an in-plane second-harmonic polarization under paraxial focusing and detection. Based on this, the orientation-resolved SHG spectroscopy is realized to readily determine the zigzag and armchair axes of the Janus crystal with an accuracy better than ±0.6°. Moreover, the SHG intensity is wavelength-dependent and can be greatly enhanced (~ 60 times) when the two-photon transition is resonant with the C-exciton state. Our findings uncover the SHG properties of Janus MoSSe monolayer, therefore lay the basis for its integrated frequency-doubling applications. 相似文献
