Modulation of Spin Dynamics in 2D Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide via Strain-Driven Symmetry Breaking.

ABSTRACT: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess intrinsic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) with high potential to be exploited for various quantum phenomena. SOI allows the manipulation of spin degree of freedom by controlling the carrier's orbital motion via mechanical strain. Here, strain modulated spin dynamics in bilayer MoS₂ field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated on crested substrates are demonstrated. Weak antilocalization (WAL) is observed at moderate carrier concentrations, indicating additional spin relaxation path caused by strain fields arising from substrate crests. The spin lifetime is found to be inversely proportional to the momentum relaxation time, which follows the Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation mechanism. Moreover, the spin-orbit splitting is obtained as 37.5 ± 1.4 meV, an order of magnitude larger than the theoretical prediction for monolayer MoS₂ , suggesting the strain enhanced spin-lattice coupling. The work demonstrates strain engineering as a promising approach to manipulate spin degree of freedom toward new functional quantum devices.

Spin-orbit engineering in transition metal dichalcogenide alloy monolayers.

Project description:Binary transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers share common properties such as a direct optical bandgap, spin-orbit splittings of hundreds of meV, light-matter interaction dominated by robust excitons and coupled spin-valley states. Here we demonstrate spin-orbit-engineering in Mo(1-x)WxSe2 alloy monolayers for optoelectronics and applications based on spin- and valley-control. We probe the impact of the tuning of the conduction band spin-orbit spin-splitting on the bright versus dark exciton population. For MoSe2 monolayers, the photoluminescence intensity decreases as a function of temperature by an order of magnitude (4-300?K), whereas for WSe2 we measure surprisingly an order of magnitude increase. The ternary material shows a trend between these two extreme behaviours. We also show a non-linear increase of the valley polarization as a function of tungsten concentration, where 40% tungsten incorporation is sufficient to achieve valley polarization as high as in binary WSe2.

Large Proximity-Induced Spin Lifetime Anisotropy in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide/Graphene Heterostructures.

Project description:Van der Waals heterostructures have become a paradigm for designing new materials and devices in which specific functionalities can be tailored by combining the properties of the individual 2D layers. A single layer of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) is an excellent complement to graphene (Gr) because the high quality of charge and spin transport in Gr is enriched with the large spin-orbit coupling of the TMD via the proximity effect. The controllable spin-valley coupling makes these heterostructures particularly attractive for spintronic and opto-valleytronic applications. In this work, we study spin precession in a monolayer MoSe2/Gr heterostructure and observe an unconventional, dramatic modulation of the spin signal, showing 1 order of magnitude longer lifetime of out-of-plane spins compared to that of in-plane spins (?? ? 40 ps and ?? ? 3.5 ps). This demonstration of a large spin lifetime anisotropy in TMD/Gr heterostructures, is a direct evidence of induced spin-valley coupling in Gr and provides an accessible route for manipulation of spin dynamics in Gr, interfaced with TMDs.

Excitonic density wave and spin-valley superfluid in bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide.

Project description:Artificial moiré superlattices in 2d van der Waals heterostructures are a new venue for realizing and controlling correlated electronic phenomena. Recently, twisted bilayer WSe2 emerged as a new robust moiré system hosting a correlated insulator at moiré half-filling over a range of twist angle. In this work, we present a theory of this insulating state as an excitonic density wave due to intervalley electron-hole pairing. We show that exciton condensation is strongly enhanced by a van Hove singularity near the Fermi level. Our theory explains the remarkable sensitivity of the insulating gap to the vertical electric field. In contrast, the gap is weakly reduced by a perpendicular magnetic field, with quadratic dependence at low field. The different responses to electric and magnetic field can be understood in terms of pair-breaking versus non-pair-breaking effects in a BCS analog of the system. We further predict superfluid spin transport in this electrical insulator, which can be detected by optical spin injection and spatial-temporal imaging.

Modulation of New Excitons in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide-Perovskite Oxide System.

Project description:The exciton, a quasi-particle that creates a bound state of an electron and a hole, is typically found in semiconductors. It has attracted major attention in the context of both fundamental science and practical applications. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a new class of 2D materials that include direct band-gap semiconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling and many-body interactions. Manipulating new excitons in semiconducting TMDs could generate a novel means of application in nanodevices. Here, the observation of high-energy excitonic peaks in the monolayer-MoS2 on a SrTiO3 heterointerface generated by a new complex mechanism is reported, based on a comprehensive study that comprises temperature-dependent optical spectroscopies and first-principles calculations. The appearance of these excitons is attributed to the change in many-body interactions that occurs alongside the interfacial orbital hybridization and spin-orbit coupling brought about by the excitonic effect propagated from the substrate. This has further led to the formation of a Fermi-surface feature at the interface. The results provide an atomic-scale understanding of the heterointerface between monolayer-TMDs and perovskite oxide and highlight the importance of spin-orbit-charge-lattice coupling on the intrinsic properties of atomic-layer heterostructures, which open up a way to manipulate the excitonic effects in monolayer TMDs via an interfacial system.

Spin-valley locking in the normal state of a transition-metal dichalcogenide superconductor.

Project description:Metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are benchmark systems for studying and controlling intertwined electronic orders in solids, with superconductivity developing from a charge-density wave state. The interplay between such phases is thought to play a critical role in the unconventional superconductivity of cuprates, Fe-based and heavy-fermion systems, yet even for the more moderately-correlated TMDCs, their nature and origins have proved controversial. Here, we study a prototypical example, 2H-NbSe2, by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission and first-principles theory. We find that the normal state, from which its hallmark collective phases emerge, is characterized by quasiparticles whose spin is locked to their valley pseudospin. This results from a combination of strong spin-orbit interactions and local inversion symmetry breaking, while interlayer coupling further drives a rich three-dimensional momentum dependence of the underlying Fermi-surface spin texture. These findings necessitate a re-investigation of the nature of charge order and superconducting pairing in NbSe2 and related TMDCs.

Manipulating spin-polarized photocurrents in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides.

Project description:Manipulating spin polarization of electrons in nonmagnetic semiconductors by means of electric fields or optical fields is an essential theme of the conceptual nonmagnetic semiconductor-based spintronics. Here we experimentally demonstrate an electric method of detecting spin polarization in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) generated by circularly polarized optical pumping. The spin-polarized photocurrent is achieved through the valley-dependent optical selection rules and the spin-valley locking in monolayer WS2, and electrically detected by a lateral spin-valve structure with ferromagnetic contacts. The demonstrated long spin-valley lifetime, the unique valley-contrasted physics, and the spin-valley locking make monolayer WS2 an unprecedented candidate for semiconductor-based spintronics.

Metal-semiconductor barrier modulation for high photoresponse in transition metal dichalcogenide field effect transistors.

Project description:A gate-controlled metal-semiconductor barrier modulation and its effect on carrier transport were investigated in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) field effect transistors (FETs). A strong photoresponse was observed in both unipolar MoS2 and ambipolar WSe2 FETs (i) at the high drain voltage due to a high electric field along the channel for separating photo-excited charge carriers and (ii) at the certain gate voltage due to the optimized barriers for the collection of photo-excited charge carriers at metal contacts. The effective barrier height between Ti/Au and TMDCs was estimated by a low temperature measurement. An ohmic contact behavior and drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) were clearly observed in MoS2 FET. In contrast, a Schottky-to-ohmic contact transition was observed in WSe2 FET as the gate voltage increases, due to the change of majority carrier transport from holes to electrons. The gate-dependent barrier modulation effectively controls the carrier transport, demonstrating its great potential in 2D TMDCs for electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Spin-orbital effects in metal-dichalcogenide semiconducting monolayers.

Project description:Metal-dioxide &metal-dichalcogenide monolayers are studied by means of Density Functional Theory. For an accurate reproduction of the electronic structure of transition metal systems, the spin orbit interaction is considered by using fully relativistic pseudopotentials (FRUP). The electronic and spin properties of MX2 (M = Sc, Cr, Mn, Ni, Mo &W and X = O, S, Se &Te) were obtained with FRUP, compared with the scalar relativistic pseudopotentials (SRUP) and with the available experimental results. Among the differences between FRUP and SRUP calculations are giant splittings of the valence band, substantial band gap reductions and semiconductor to metal or non-magnetic to magnetic "transitions". MoO2, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, WO2, WS2 and WSe2 are proposed as candidates for spintronics, while CrTe2, with ? ~ 1.59 ?B, is a magnetic metal to be experimentally explored.

Electron-Phonon Interaction in Organic/2D-Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterojunctions: A Temperature-Dependent Raman Spectroscopic Study.

Project description:The heterojunctions of organic/two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have the potential to be used in the next-generation optoelectronic and photonic devices. Herein, we have systemically investigated the temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy to elucidate the phonon shift and thermal properties of the semiconducting TMD nanosheets grafted by a conjugated polymer (PG-MoS2 and PG-MoSe2) forming heterojunctions. Our results reveal that softening of Raman modes of PG-TMDs as temperature increases from 77 to 300 K is due to the negative temperature coefficient (TC) and anharmonicity. The TCs of E1 2g and A1g modes of PG-MoS2 nanosheets and A1g mode of PG-MoSe2 were found to be -0.015, -0.010, and -0.010 cm-1 K-1, respectively. The origin of negative TCs is explained on the basis of a double resonance process, which is more active in single- and few-layer MoS2 and MoSe2. Interestingly, the temperature-dependent behavior of the phonon modes of PG-MoS2 and PG-MoSe2 is similar to that of pristine nanosheets. Grafting by conjugated polymer does not affect the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction in the semiconducting (2H-phase) TMDs, hinting the application potential of such materials in field-effect electronic devices.

An Incomplete Spin Transition Associated with a Z'=1?Z'=24?Crystallographic Symmetry Breaking.

Project description:Crystalline [FeL2 ][BF4 ]2 ?Me2 CO (L=N-[2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyrid-4-yl]acetamide) is high-spin at room temperature, and undergoes an abrupt, hysteretic spin-crossover at T1/2 =137?K (?T1/2 =14?K) that proceeds to about 50?% completeness. This is associated with a crystallographic phase transition, from phase?1 (P21 /c, Z=4) to phase?2 (P21 , Z=48). The cations associate into chains in the crystal through weak intermolecular ????? interactions. Phase?2 contains a mixture of high-spin and low-spin molecules, which are grouped into triads along these chains. The perchlorate salt [FeL2 ][ClO4 ]2 ?Me2 CO also adopts phase?1 at room temperature but undergoes a different phase transition near 135?K to phase?3 (P21 /c, Z=8) without a change in spin state.
