硅烯和锗烯的生长及其机制研究

正硅烯和锗烯分别是由硅原子和锗原子组成的具有类似石墨烯结构的二维材料。与组成石墨烯的sp~2杂化的碳原子不同,硅原子和锗原子在能量上更倾向于sp~3杂化,这是一种三维的共价键构型,所以在自然界中不存在类似石墨那样的层状结构的块体硅和锗,因此也不可能像剥离石墨烯那样从块体中得到硅烯和锗烯单层。这两种材料的生长需要使用单层可控的沉积技术,并选择合适的基底,从而使硅和锗倾向于二维平面生长而     

Intrinsic charge transport behaviors in graphene-black phosphorus van der Waals heterojunction devices

Heterostructures from mechanically-assembled stacks of two-dimensional materials allow for versatile electronic device applications. Here, we demonstrate the intrinsic charge transport behaviors in graphene-black phosphorus heterojunction devices under different charge carrier densities and temperature regimes. At high carrier densities or in the ON state,tunneling through the Schottky barrier at the interface between graphene and black phosphorus dominates at low temperatures. With temperature increasing, the Schottky barrier at the interface is vanishing, and the channel current starts to decrease with increasing temperature, behaving like a metal. While at low carrier densities or in the OFF state, thermal emission over the Schottky barrier at the interface dominates the carriers transport process. A barrier height of ~67.3 meV can be extracted from the thermal emission-diffusion theory.

Structural transformation of Ge dimers on Ge（001） surfaces induced by bias voltage

Scanning tunnelling microscopy is utilized to investigate the local bias voltage tunnelling dependent transformation between （2×1） and c（4×2） structures on Ge（001） surfaces, which is reversibly observed at room temperature and a critical bias voltage of -0.80 V. Similar transformation is also found on an epitaxial Ce islands but at a slightly different critical bias voltage of -1.00V. It is found that the interaction between the topmost atoms on the STM tip and the atoms of the dimers, and the pinning effect induced by Sb atoms, the nacancies or the epitaxial clusters, can drive the structural transformation at the critical bias voltage.

Laser-induced phase conversion of n-type SnSe2 to p-type SnSe

We report a facile phase conversion method that can locally convert n-type SnSe₂ into p-type SnSe by direct laser irradiation. Raman spectra of SnSe₂ flakes before and after laser irradiation confirm the phase conversion of SnSe₂ to SnSe. By performing the laser irradiation on SnSe₂ flakes at different temperatures, it is found that laser heating effect induces the removal of Se atoms from SnSe₂ and results in the phase conversion of SnSe₂ to SnSe. Lattice-revolved transmission electron microscope images of SnSe₂ flakes before and after laser irradiation further confirm such conversion. By selective laser irradiation on SnSe₂ flakes, a pattern with SnSe₂/SnSe heteostructures is created. This indicates that the laser induced phase conversion technique has relatively high spatial resolution and enables the creation of micron-sized in-plane p-n junction at predefined region.     

Robustness of the unidirectional stripe order in the kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5

V-based kagome materials AV₃Sb₅ (A=K, Rb, Cs) have attracted much attention due to their novel properties such as unconventional superconductivity, giant anomalous Hall effect, charge density wave (CDW) and pair density wave. Except for the 2a₀×2a₀ CDW (charge density wave with in-plane 2×2 superlattice modulation) in AV₃Sb₅, an additional 1×4 (4a₀) unidirectional stripe order has been observed at the Sb surface of RbV₃Sb₅ and CsV₃Sb₅. However, the stability and electronic nature of the 4a₀ stripe order remain controversial and unclear. Here, by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), we systematically study the 4a₀ stripe order on the Sb-terminated surface of CsV₃Sb₅. We find that the 4a₀ stripe order is visible in a large energy range. The STM images with positive and negative bias show contrast inversion, which is the hallmark for the Peierls-type CDW. In addition, below the critical temperature about 60 K, the 4a₀ stripe order keeps unaffected against the topmost Cs atoms, point defects, step edges and magnetic field up to 8 T. Our results provide experimental evidences on the existence of unidirectional CDW in CsV₃Sb₅.
