The effective synthesis of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides alloy is essential for successful application in electronic and optical devices based on a tunable band gap. Here we show process Mo1-xWxS2 using sulfurization super-cycle atomic layer deposition Mo1-xWxOy.

Based this, synthesize vertically...
2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as promising candidates for post-silicon nanoelectronics owing to their unique and outstanding semiconducting properties.

We study the broadband optical conductivity and ultrafast carrier dynamics of epitaxial graphene in few-layer limit. Equilibrium spectra nominally buffer, monolayer, multilayer exhibit significant terahertz near-infrared absorption, consistent with a model intra- interband transitions dense Dirac electron plasma. Nonequilibrium transmission changes after photoexcitation are shown to be dominated by excess hole carriers, 1.2 ps monoexponential decay that reflects minority-carrier recombination time.
Two-dimensional stacks of dissimilar hexagonal monolayers exhibit unusual electronic, photonic and photovoltaic responses that arise from substantial interlayer excitations. Interband excitation phenomena in individual monolayer occur states at band edges (valleys) the momentum space; therefore, low-energy can be directed by two-dimensional rotational degree each crystal. However, this rotation-dependent is largely unknown, due to lack control over relative rotations, thereby leading...

Two-dimensional surface-scattering dynamics are central in the physics of topological insulators. Numerous electrical and optical measurements have evidenced that origins novel optoelectronic response can be traced back to Dirac surface-electron dynamics. Intrinsic surface dynamics, however, remain elusive because these experiments cannot access frequencies rate. Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy is only apparatus for directly probing collective low-energy electronic transitions. Here, by...

Broadband detection of mid-infrared (IR) photons extends to advanced optoelectronic applications such as imaging, sensing, and telecommunications. While graphene offers an attractive platform for broadband visible/IR photodetection, previous efforts improve its responsivity, example, by integrating light-absorbing colloids or waveguide antenna fabrication, were achieved at the cost reduced photon bandwidth. In this work, we demonstrate room-temperature operation a novel mid-IR photodetector...

Abstract The 1 s exciton—the ground state of a bound electron-hole pair—is central to understanding the photoresponse monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. Above exciton, recent visible and near-infrared investigations have revealed that excited excitons are much richer, exhibiting series Rydberg-like states. A natural question is then how internal excitonic transitions interrelated on photoexcitation. Accessing these intraexcitonic transitions, however, demands fundamentally different...
