Title: Fabrication of a Microcavity Prepared by Remote Epitaxy over Monolayer Molybdenum Disulfide

Journal Article · · ACS Nano

We report advances in epitaxy have enabled the preparation of high-quality material architectures consisting of incommensurate components. Remote epitaxy based on lattice transparency of atomically thin graphene has been intensively studied for cost-effective advanced device manufacturing and heterostructure formation. However, remote epitaxy on nongraphene two-dimensional (2D) materials has rarely been studied even though it has a broad and immediate impact on various disciplines, such as many-body physics and the design of advanced devices. Herein, we report remote epitaxy of ZnO on monolayer MoS2 and the realization of a whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) cavity composed of a single crystalline ZnO nanorod and monolayer MoS2. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and first-principles calculations revealed that the nongraphene 2D material interacted with overgrown and substrate layers and also exhibited lattice transparency. The WGM cavity embedding monolayer MoS2 showed enhanced luminescence of MoS2 and multimodal emission.
