Semiconductor to Topological Insulator Transition Induced by Stress Propagation in Metal Dichalcogenides Core-Shell Lateral Heterostructures

Journal Article Dong, Xi ; Lai, Wei ; Zhang, Pengpeng - Materials Horizons

Polymorphic phase transition is an important route for engineering the properties of two-dimensional materials. Heterostructure construction, on the other hand, not only allows the integration of different functionalities for device applications, but also enables the exploration of new physics arising from proximity coupling. Yet, implementing a design that incorporates the advantages of both remains underexplored. Here in this paper, based on comprehensive experimental and theoretical studies of WSe₂/SnSe₂ core-shell lateral heterostructure, we demonstrate an unexpected H to T' phase transition in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), correlating to a change of materials properties from semiconductor to topological insulator (TI), and proposemore »« less

Anomalous helicity-dependent photocurrent in the topological insulator ( ${Bi}_{0.5} {Sb}_{0.5}$ ) $_{2} {Te}_{3}$ on a GaAs substrate [Spin manipulation at the interface of a topological insulator and a non-magnetic semiconductor]

Journal Article Qu, Dong-Xia ; Che, Xiaoyu ; Kou, Xufeng ; ... - Physical Review B

We present that the emerging material, topological insulator, has provided new opportunities for spintronic applications, owing to its strong spin-orbit character. Topological insulator based heterostructures that display spin-charge coupling driven by topology at surfaces have great potential for the realization of novel spintronic devices. Here, we report the observation of anomalous photogalvanic effect in (Bi_0.5Sb_0.5)₂Te₃ thin films grown on GaAs substrate. We demonstrate that the magnitude, direction, and temperature dependence of the helicity-dependent photocurrent (HDPC) can be modulated by the gate voltage. From spatially resolved photocurrent measurements, we show that the line profile of HDPC in (Bi_0.5Sb_0.5)₂Te₃/GaAs is unaffected bymore »« less

Patterned arrays of lateral heterojunctions within monolayer two-dimensional semiconductors

Journal Article Mahjouri-Samani, Masoud ; Lin, Ming-Wei ; Wang, Kai ; ... - Nature Communications

The formation of semiconductor heterojunctions and their high density integration are foundations of modern electronics and optoelectronics. To enable two-dimensional (2D) crystalline semiconductors as building blocks in next generation electronics, developing methods to deterministically form lateral heterojunctions is crucial. Here we demonstrate a process strategy for the formation of lithographically-patterned lateral semiconducting heterojunctions within a single 2D crystal. E-beam lithography is used to pattern MoSe₂ monolayer crystals with SiO₂, and the exposed locations are selectively and totally converted to MoS₂ using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of sulfur in order to form MoSe₂/MoS₂ heterojunctions in predefined patterns. The junctions and conversionmore »« less

Strain-Induced Lateral Heterostructures in Patterned Semiconductor Nanomembranes for Micro- and Optoelectronics

Journal Article Gok, Abdullah ; Wang, Xiaowei ; Scott, Shelley ; ... - ACS Applied Nano Materials

The ability to tailor the energy band lineup of semiconductor materials plays a key role in the development of many electronic and optoelectronic devices, and normally relies on heteroepitaxy. Here we report a different method, based on strain engineering, for the controlled introduction of variations in bandgap energy with lateral position in thin films. External stress is applied on Ge nanomembranes stacked with an array of amorphous-Si pillars, in order to create a non-uniform strain (and therefore bandgap energy) distribution commensurate with the sample thickness variations. The resulting strain profiles are mapped using Bragg diffraction with a hard x-ray probemore »« less
