Title: Nanoforging Single Layer MoSe2 Through Defect Engineering with Focused Helium Ion Beams

Abstract

Development of devices and structures based on the layered 2D materials critically hinges on the capability to induce, control, and tailor the electronic, transport, and optoelectronic properties via defect engineering, much like doping strategies have enabled semiconductor electronics and forging enabled introduction of iron age. Here, we demonstrate the use of a scanning helium ion microscope (HIM) for tailoring the functionality of single layer MoSe2 locally, and decipher associated mechanisms at atomic level. We demonstrate He+ beam bombardment that locally creates vacancies, shifts the Fermi energy landscape and thereby increases the Young s modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, we observe for the first time, an increase in the B-exciton photoluminescence signal from the nanoforged regions at room temperature. In conclusion, the approach for precise defect engineering demonstrated here opens opportunities for creating functional 2D optoelectronic devices with a wide range of customizable properties that include operating in the visible region.
