A Two-Dimensional Polyimide-Graphene Heterostructure with Ultra-fast Interlayer Charge Transfer.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) are a class of atomically/molecularly thin crystalline organic 2D materials. They are intriguing candidates for the development of unprecedented organic-inorganic 2D van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) with exotic physicochemical properties. In this work, we demonstrate the on-water surface synthesis of large-area (cm² ), monolayer 2D polyimide (2DPI) with 3.1-nm lattice. Such 2DPI comprises metal-free porphyrin and perylene units linked by imide bonds. We further achieve a scalable synthesis of 2DPI-graphene (2DPI-G) vdWHs via a face-to-face co-assembly of graphene and 2DPI on the water surface. Remarkably, femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy reveals an ultra-fast interlayer charge transfer (ca. 60 fs) in the resultant 2DPI-G vdWH upon protonation by acid, which is equivalent to that of the fastest reports among inorganic 2D vdWHs. Such large interlayer electronic coupling is ascribed to the interlayer cation-π interaction between 2DP and graphene.

Photocarrier generation from interlayer charge-transfer transitions in WS2-graphene heterostructures.

Project description:Efficient interfacial carrier generation in van der Waals heterostructures is critical for their electronic and optoelectronic applications. We demonstrate broadband photocarrier generation in WS2-graphene heterostructures by imaging interlayer coupling-dependent charge generation using ultrafast transient absorption microscopy. Interlayer charge-transfer (CT) transitions and hot carrier injection from graphene allow carrier generation by excitation as low as 0.8 eV below the WS2 bandgap. The experimentally determined interlayer CT transition energies are consistent with those predicted from the first-principles band structure calculation. CT interactions also lead to additional carrier generation in the visible spectral range in the heterostructures compared to that in the single-layer WS2 alone. The lifetime of the charge-separated states is measured to be ~1 ps. These results suggest that interlayer interactions make graphene-two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures very attractive for photovoltaic and photodetector applications because of the combined benefits of high carrier mobility and enhanced broadband photocarrier generation.

Engineering the Charge Transfer in all 2D Graphene-Nanoplatelets Heterostructure Photodetectors.

Project description:Two dimensional layered (i.e. van der Waals) heterostructures open up great prospects, especially in photodetector applications. In this context, the control of the charge transfer between the constituting layers is of crucial importance. Compared to bulk or 0D system, 2D materials are characterized by a large exciton binding energy (0.1-1 eV) which considerably affects the magnitude of the charge transfer. Here we investigate a model system made from colloidal 2D CdSe nanoplatelets and epitaxial graphene in a phototransistor configuration. We demonstrate that using a heterostructured layered material, we can tune the magnitude and the direction (i.e. electron or hole) of the charge transfer. We further evidence that graphene functionalization by nanocrystals only leads to a limited change in the magnitude of the 1/f noise. These results draw some new directions to design van der Waals heterostructures with enhanced optoelectronic properties.

Directional interlayer spin-valley transfer in two-dimensional heterostructures.

Project description:Van der Waals heterostructures formed by two different monolayer semiconductors have emerged as a promising platform for new optoelectronic and spin/valleytronic applications. In addition to its atomically thin nature, a two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructure is distinct from its three-dimensional counterparts due to the unique coupled spin-valley physics of its constituent monolayers. Here, we report the direct observation that an optically generated spin-valley polarization in one monolayer can be transferred between layers of a two-dimensional MoSe2-WSe2 heterostructure. Using non-degenerate optical circular dichroism spectroscopy, we show that charge transfer between two monolayers conserves spin-valley polarization and is only weakly dependent on the twist angle between layers. Our work points to a new spin-valley pumping scheme in nanoscale devices, provides a fundamental understanding of spin-valley transfer across the two-dimensional interface, and shows the potential use of two-dimensional semiconductors as a spin-valley generator in two-dimensional spin/valleytronic devices for storing and processing information.

Two-dimensional ferroelectric channel transistors integrating ultra-fast memory and neural computing.

Project description:With the advent of the big data era, applications are more data-centric and energy efficiency issues caused by frequent data interactions, due to the physical separation of memory and computing, will become increasingly severe. Emerging technologies have been proposed to perform analog computing with memory to address the dilemma. Ferroelectric memory has become a promising technology due to field-driven fast switching and non-destructive readout, but endurance and miniaturization are limited. Here, we demonstrate the α-In2Se3 ferroelectric semiconductor channel device that integrates non-volatile memory and neural computation functions. Remarkable performance includes ultra-fast write speed of 40 ns, improved endurance through the internal electric field, flexible adjustment of neural plasticity, ultra-low energy consumption of 234/40 fJ per event for excitation/inhibition, and thermally modulated 94.74% high-precision iris recognition classification simulation. This prototypical demonstration lays the foundation for an integrated memory computing system with high density and energy efficiency.

Highly mobile charge-transfer excitons in two-dimensional WS2/tetracene heterostructures.

Project description:Charge-transfer (CT) excitons at heterointerfaces play a critical role in light to electricity conversion using organic and nanostructured materials. However, how CT excitons migrate at these interfaces is poorly understood. We investigate the formation and transport of CT excitons in two-dimensional WS2/tetracene van der Waals heterostructures. Electron and hole transfer occurs on the time scale of a few picoseconds, and emission of interlayer CT excitons with a binding energy of ~0.3 eV has been observed. Transport of the CT excitons is directly measured by transient absorption microscopy, revealing coexistence of delocalized and localized states. Trapping-detrapping dynamics between the delocalized and localized states leads to stretched-exponential photoluminescence decay with an average lifetime of ~2 ns. The delocalized CT excitons are remarkably mobile with a diffusion constant of ~1 cm2 s-1. These highly mobile CT excitons could have important implications in achieving efficient charge separation.

Repression of Interlayer Recombination by Graphene Generates a Sensitive Nanostructured 2D vdW Heterostructure Based Photodetector.

Project description:Great success in 2D van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures based photodetectors is obtained owing to the unique electronic and optoelectronic properties of 2D materials. Performance of photodetectors based 2D vdW heterojunctions at atomic scale is more sensitive to the nanointerface of the heterojunction than conventional bulk heterojunction. Here, a nanoengineered heterostructure for the first-time demonstration of a nanointerface using an inserted graphene layer between black phosphorus (BP) and InSe which inhibits interlayer recombination and greatly improves photodetection performances is presented. In addition, a transition of the transport characteristics of the device is induced by graphene, from diffusion motion of minority carriers to drift motion of majority carriers. These two reasons together with an internal photoemission effect make the BP/G/InSe-based photodetector have ultrahigh specific detectivity at room temperature. The results demonstrate that high-performance vdW heterostructure photodetectors can be achieved through simple structural manipulation of the heterojunction interface on nanoscale.

Temperature and interlayer coupling induced thermal transport across graphene/2D-SiC van der Waals heterostructure.

Project description:Graphene based two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials have attracted enormous attention because of their extraordinary physical properties. In this study, we explore the temperature and interlayer coupling induced thermal transport across the graphene/2D-SiC vdW interface using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and transient pump probe methods. We find that the in-plane thermal conductivity κ deviates slightly from the 1/T law at high temperatures. A tunable κ is found with the variation of the interlayer coupling strength χ. The interlayer thermal resistance R across graphene/2D-SiC interface reaches 2.71 [Formula: see text] 10-7 [Formula: see text] at room temperature and χ = 1, and it reduces steadily with the elevation of system temperature and χ, demonstrating around 41% and 56% reduction with increasing temperature to 700 K and a χ of 25, respectively. We also elucidate the heat transport mechanism by estimating the in-plane and out-of-plane phonon modes. Higher phonon propagation possibility and Umklapp scattering across the interface at high temperatures and increased χ lead to the significant reduction of R. This work unveils the mechanism of heat transfer and interface thermal conductance engineering across the graphene/2D-SiC vdW heterostructure.

Exciton-Phonon Coupling Induces a New Pathway for Ultrafast Intralayer-to-Interlayer Exciton Transition and Interlayer Charge Transfer in WS<sub>2</sub>-MoS<sub>2</sub> Heterostructure: A First-Principles Study.

Project description:Despite the weak, van der Waals interlayer coupling, photoinduced charge transfer vertically across atomically thin interfaces can occur within surprisingly fast, sub-50 fs time scales. An early theoretical understanding of charge transfer is based on a noninteracting picture, neglecting excitonic effects that dominate optical properties of such materials. We employ an ab initio many-body perturbation theory approach, which explicitly accounts for the excitons and phonons in the heterostructure. Our large-scale first-principles calculations directly probe the role of exciton-phonon coupling in the charge dynamics of the WS2/MoS2 heterobilayer. We find that the exciton-phonon interaction induced relaxation time of photoexcited excitons at the K valley of MoS2 and WS2 is 67 and 15 fs at 300 K, respectively, which sets a lower bound to the intralayer-to-interlayer exciton transfer time and is consistent with experiment reports. We further show that electron-hole correlations facilitate novel transfer pathways that are otherwise inaccessible to noninteracting electrons and holes.

Dissecting Interlayer Hole and Electron Transfer in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures via Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy.

Project description:Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (ML-TMDs) are two-dimensional semiconductors that stack to form heterostructures (HSs) with tailored electronic and optical properties. TMD/TMD-HSs like WS2/MoS2 have type II band alignment and form long-lived (nanosecond) interlayer excitons following sub-100 fs interlayer charge transfer (ICT) from the photoexcited intralayer exciton. While many studies have demonstrated the ultrafast nature of ICT processes, we still lack a clear physical understanding of ICT due to the trade-off between temporal and frequency resolution in conventional transient absorption spectroscopy. Here, we perform two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES), a method with both high frequency and temporal resolution, on a large-area WS2/MoS2 HS where we unambiguously time resolve both interlayer hole and electron transfer with 34 ± 14 and 69 ± 9 fs time constants, respectively. We simultaneously resolve additional optoelectronic processes including band gap renormalization and intralayer exciton coupling. This study demonstrates the advantages of 2DES in comprehensively resolving ultrafast processes in TMD-HS, including ICT.

Photoinduced charge transfer in quasi-one-dimensional polymers in two-photon absorption.

Project description:In this work, we theoretically investigate the structure and the transition characteristics of one- (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) spectra of different length neutral and charged thiophene polymers. The effects and regulation of different charges on photoinduced charge transfer are discovered and their physical mechanisms are explained. We find that both the OPA and TPA spectra undergo a sizeable redshift after the charge is injected into the polymer, and the redshift after the positive charge injection is excellent. The alternating charge transfer that occurs in a two-photon transition of a charged system is derived from the alternating distribution of charge (dipole moment) in the dynamics of the system. To study the gradual behavior of infinite polymers, we also theoretically calculated the optical properties and electronic structures of infinitely long thiophene polymers under different electrical charge injections by a one-dimensional periodic model. The redshift of the OPA and TPA spectra is found to be due to orbital energy level movement.
