自石墨烯被发现以来,二维材料因其优异的特性获得了持续且深入的探索与发展,以石墨烯、六方氮化硼、过渡金属硫化物、黑磷等为代表的二维材料相关研究层出不穷.随着二维新材料制备与应用探索的不断发展,单一材料性能的不足逐渐凸显,研究者们开始考虑采用平面拼接和层间堆垛所产生的协同效应来弥补单一材料的不足,甚至获得一些新的性能.利用二维材料晶格结构的匹配构建异质结,实现特定的功能化,或利用范德瓦耳斯力进行堆垛,将不同二维材料排列组合,从而在体系里引入新的自由度,为二维材料的性质研究和实际应用打开了新的窗口.本文从原子制造角度,介绍了二维平面和范德瓦耳斯异质结材料的可控制备和光电应用.首先简要介绍了应用于异质结制备的常见二维材料的分类及异质结的相关概念,然后从原理上分类列举了常用的表征方法,随后介绍了平面和垂直异质结的制备方法,并对其光电性质及器件应用做了简要介绍.最后,对领域内存在的问题进行了讨论,对未来发展方向做出了展望.

通过第一性原理计算探讨了蓝磷烯与过渡金属硫化物MoTe₂/WTe₂形成范德瓦耳斯异质结的电子结构和光学性质,以及施加双轴应力对相关性质的影响.计算结果表明,形成BlueP/XTe₂(X=Mo,W)异质结,二者能带排列为间接带隙type-Ⅱ并有较强的红外光吸收,同时屏蔽特性增强.随压缩应力增加,BlueP/XTe₂转变为直接带隙type-Ⅱ能带排列最后转变为金属性;随拉伸应力增加,异质结转变为间接带隙type-Ⅰ能带排列.外加应力也能有效调控异质结的光吸收性质,随压缩应力增加吸收边红移,光吸收响应拓展至中红外光谱区且吸收系数增大;BlueP/MoTe₂较BlueP/WTe₂在中红外至红外光区间表现出更强的光吸收响应;静态介电常数ε1(0)大幅增加.结果表明,压缩应力对BlueP/MoTe₂和BlueP/WTe₂能带排列、光吸收特性均有显著的调控作用,其中BlueP/MoTe₂对调控更敏感,这些特性也使BlueP/XTe₂异质结在窄禁带中红外半导体材料及光电器件具有令人期待的应用价值.

CuPc/MoS2范德瓦耳斯异质结荧光特性

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.

Measurement of electronic structure in van der Waals ferromagnet Fe5-xGeTe2

As a van der Waals ferromagnet with high Curie temperature, Fe_5-xGeTe₂ has attracted tremendous interests recently. Here, using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we systematically investigated the electronic structure of Fe_5-xGeTe₂ crystals and its temperature evolution. Our ARPES measurement reveals two types of band structures from two different terminations with slight k_z evolution. Interestingly, across the ferromagnetic transition, we observed the merging of two split bands above the Curie temperature, suggesting the band splitting due to the exchange interaction within the itinerant Stoner model. Our results provide important insights into the electronic and magnetic properties of Fe_5-xGeTe₂ and the understanding of magnetism in a two-dimensional ferromagnetic system.     

Moiré pattern in LEED obtained by van der Waals epitaxy of lattice mismatched WS2/MoTe2(0001) heterointerfaces

Thin films of WS₂ have been grown by van der Waals epitaxy (vdWE) on the basal planes of 2H-MoTe₂(0001). Despite a lateral mismatch of 10.3%, epitaxial growth is achieved by metal organic vdWE (MOvdWE). In low energy electron diffraction (LEED) measurements a Moiré-like superstructure is observed originating from and correlated to the lateral mismatch between film and substrate. I–V LEED investigations in the course of sequential film growth reveal an undulation of the lattice at the interfaces as the origin of the Moiré-like structure rather than simple multiple scattering between overlayer and substrate.     

van der Waals PtO2/MoS2 heterostructure verified from first principles

First-principles calculations are used to study the structure and optoelectronic properties of a van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure formed by transition metal dichalcogenide and dioxide monolayers, namely PtO₂/MoS₂. The calculations suggest that a two-dimensional PtO₂ monolayer can be produced by exfoliation from the layered bulk α-PtO₂ and may even survive at high temperature. The PtO₂ monolayer is very closely matched with MoS₂ to form the vdW heterostructure. With its valence-band maximum and conduction-band minimum separated in different layers, this PtO₂/MoS₂ heterostructure is proposed as a type-II heterostructure with strong adsorption of visible light. Consequently, it may be widely applicable in photocatalysis and photovoltaics.     

Ultrafast interlayer photocarrier transfer in graphene–MoSe_2 van der Waals heterostructure

We report the fabrication and photocarrier dynamics in graphene–MoSe_2 heterostructures. The samples were fabricated by mechanical exfoliation and manual stacking techniques. Ultrafast laser measurements were performed on the heterostructure and MoSe_2 monolayer samples. By comparing the results, we conclude that photocarriers injected in MoSe_2 of the heterostructure transfer to graphene on an ultrafast time scale. The carriers in graphene alter the optical absorption coefficient of MoSe_2. These results illustrate the potential applications of this material in optoelectronic devices.

Effect of defects on the electronic structure of a PbI2/MoS2 van der Waals heterostructure: A first-principles study

PbI2/MoS2,as a typical van der Waals(vdW)heterostructure,has attracted intensive attention owing to its remarkable electronic and optoelectronic properties.In this work,the effect of defects on the electronic structures of a PbI2/MoS2 heterointerface has been systematically investigated.The manner in which the defects modulate the band structure of PbI2/MoS2,including the band gap,band edge,band alignment,and defect energy-level density within the band gap is discussed herein.It is shown that sulfur defects tune the band gaps,iodine defects shift the positions of the band edge and Fermi level,and lead defects realize the conversions between the straddling-gap band alignment and valence-band-aligned gap,thus enhancing the light-absorption ability of the material.     

Effect of layer sliding on the interfacial electronic properties of intercalated silicene/indium selenide van der Waals heterostructure

Methods capable of tuning the properties of van der Waals (vdW) layered materials in a controlled and reversible manner are highly desirable. Interfacial electronic properties of two-dimensional vdW heterostructure consisting of silicene and indium selenide (InSe) have been calculated using density functional theory-based computational code. Furthermore, in order to vary the aforementioned properties, silicene is slid over a InSe layer in the presence of Li intercalation. On intercalation of the heterostructure, the buckling parameter associated with the corrugation of silicene decreases from 0.44 Å to 0.36 Å, whereas the InSe structure remains unaffected. Potential energy scans reveal a significant increase in the sliding energy barrier for the case of intercalated heterostructure as compared with the unintercalated heterostructure. The sliding of the silicene encounters the maximum energy barrier of 0.14 eV. Anisotropic analysis shows the noteworthy differences between calculated in-plane and out-of-plane part of dielectric function. A variation of the planar average charge density difference, dipole charge transfer and dipole moment have been discussed to elucidate the usability spectrum of the heterostructure. The employed approach based on intercalation and layer sliding can be effectively utilized for obtaining next-generation multifunctional devices.     

Tunable electronic and optical properties of GaS/GaSe van der Waals heterostructure

We have used first-principles calculations to investigate the electronic and optical properties of GaS/GaSe van der Waals heterostructures formed by stacking two-dimensional GaSe and GaSe monolayers. Our findings confirm that the GaS/GaSe heterostructures transform from an indirect to a direct band gap material for the two stackings considered in this study. In addition, we found that the direct band gaps are 1.780 eV and 1.736 eV for AA and AB stacking, respectively. It is observed that the behavior of the optical properties of AA stacking is similar to AB stacking with some differences in details and both heterostructures located in UV range. The refractive index values are 2.21 (AA pattern) and 2.18 (AB pattern) at zero photon energy limit and increase to 2.937 for AA and 2.18 AB patterns and both located in the visible region. More importantly, the GaS/GaSe heterostructures have a variety of extraordinary electronic and optical properties. Accordingly, these heterostructures can be useful for the solar cell, nanoelectronics, and optoelectronic applications.     

Electronic properties and tunability in graphene/3D-InP mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure

InP solar cell is promising for space application due to its strong space radiation resistance and high power conversion efficient (PCE). Graphene/InP heterostructure solar cell is expected to have a higher PCE because strong near-infrared light can also be absorbed and converted additionally by graphene in this heterostructure. However, a low PCE was reported experimentally for Graphene/InP heterostructures. In this paper, electronic properties of graphene/InP heterostructures are calculated using density functional theory to understand the origin of the low PCE and propose possible improving ways. Our calculation results reveal that graphene contact with InP form a p-type Schottky heterostructure with a low Schottky barrier height (SBH). It is the low SBH that leads to the low PCE of graphene/InP heterostructure solar cells. A new heterostructure, graphene/insulating layer/InP solar cells, is proposed to raise SBH and PCE. Moreover, we also find that the opened bandgap of graphene and SBH in graphene/InP heterostructures can be tuned by exerting an electric field, which is useful for photodetector of graphene/InP heterostructures.
