Tunable Strong Coupling in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Nanowires.

ABSTRACT: Subwavelength optical resonators with spatiotemporal control of light are essential to the miniaturization of optical devices. In this work, chemically synthesized transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanowires are exploited as a new type of dielectric nanoresonators to simultaneously support pronounced excitonic and Mie resonances. Strong light-matter couplings and tunable exciton polaritons in individual nanowires are demonstrated. In addition, the excitonic responses can be reversibly modulated with excellent reproducibility, offering the potential for developing tunable optical nanodevices. Being in the mobile colloidal state with highly tunable optical properties, the TMDC nanoresonators will find promising applications in integrated active optical devices, including all-optical switches and sensors.

A tunable transition metal dichalcogenide entangled photon-pair source.

Project description:Entangled photon-pair sources are at the core of quantum applications like quantum key distribution, sensing, and imaging. Operation in space-limited and adverse environments such as in satellite-based and mobile communication requires robust entanglement sources with minimal size and weight requirements. Here, we meet this challenge by realizing a cubic micrometer scale entangled photon-pair source in a 3R-stacked transition metal dichalcogenide crystal. Its crystal symmetry enables the generation of polarization-entangled Bell states without additional components and provides tunability by simple control of the pump polarization. Remarkably, generation rate and state tuning are decoupled, leading to equal generation efficiency and no loss of entanglement. Combining transition metal dichalcogenides with monolithic cavities and integrated photonic circuitry or using quasi-phasematching opens the gate towards ultrasmall and scalable quantum devices.

Tunable unidirectional nonlinear emission from transition-metal-dichalcogenide metasurfaces.

Project description:Nonlinear light sources are central to a myriad of applications, driving a quest for their miniaturisation down to the nanoscale. In this quest, nonlinear metasurfaces hold a great promise, as they enhance nonlinear effects through their resonant photonic environment and high refractive index, such as in high-index dielectric metasurfaces. However, despite the sub-diffractive operation of dielectric metasurfaces at the fundamental wave, this condition is not fulfilled for the nonlinearly generated harmonic waves, thereby all nonlinear metasurfaces to date emit multiple diffractive beams. Here, we demonstrate the enhanced single-beam second- and third-harmonic generation in a metasurface of crystalline transition-metal-dichalcogenide material, offering the highest refractive index. We show that the interplay between the resonances of the metasurface allows for tuning of the unidirectional second-harmonic radiation in forward or backward direction, not possible in any bulk nonlinear crystal. Our results open new opportunities for metasurface-based nonlinear light-sources, including nonlinear mirrors and entangled-photon generation.

Tunable Electronic Properties of Lateral Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Superlattice Nanoribbons.

Project description:The structural stability and structural and electronic properties of lateral monolayer transition metal chalcogenide superlattice zigzag and armchair nanoribbons have been studied by employing a first-principles method based on the density functional theory. The main focus is to study the effects of varying the width and periodicity of nanoribbon, varying cationic and anionic elements of superlattice parent compounds, biaxial strain, and nanoribbon edge passivation with different elements. The band gap opens up when the (MoS2)3/(WS2)3 and (MoS2)3/(MoTe2)3 armchair nanoribbons are passivated by H, S and O atoms. The H and O co-passivated (MoS2)3/(WS2)3 armchair nanoribbon exhibits higher energy band gap. The band gap with the edge S vacancy connecting to the W atom is much smaller than the S vacancy connecting to the Mo atom. Small band gaps are obtained for both edge and inside Mo vacancies. There is a clear difference in the band gap states between inside and edge Mo vacancies for symmetric nanoribbon structure, while there is only a slight difference for asymmetric structure. The electronic orbitals of atoms around Mo vacancy play an important role in determining the valence band maximum, conduction band minimum, and impurity level in the band gap.

Unravelling strong electronic interlayer and intralayer correlations in a transition metal dichalcogenide.

Project description:Electronic correlations play important roles in driving exotic phenomena in condensed matter physics. They determine low-energy properties through high-energy bands well-beyond optics. Great effort has been made to understand low-energy excitations such as low-energy excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), however their high-energy bands and interlayer correlation remain mysteries. Herewith, by measuring temperature- and polarization-dependent complex dielectric and loss functions of bulk molybdenum disulphide from near-infrared to soft X-ray, supported with theoretical calculations, we discover unconventional soft X-ray correlated-plasmons with low-loss, and electronic transitions that reduce dimensionality and increase correlations, accompanied with significantly modified low-energy excitons. At room temperature, interlayer electronic correlations, together with the intralayer correlations in the c-axis, are surprisingly strong, yielding a three-dimensional-like system. Upon cooling, wide-range spectral-weight transfer occurs across a few tens of eV and in-plane p-d hybridizations become enhanced, revealing strong Coulomb correlations and electronic anisotropy, yielding a two-dimensional-like system. Our result shows the importance of strong electronic, interlayer and intralayer correlations in determining electronic structure and opens up applications of utilizing TMDCs on plasmonic nanolithrography.

Tunable superconductivity coexisting with the anomalous Hall effect in a transition metal dichalcogenide.

Project description:Transition metal dichalcogenides display a high technological potential due to their wide range of electronic ground states. Here, we unveil that by tuning hydrostatic pressure P, a cascade of electronic phase transitions can be induced in the few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide 1T'-WS2. As P increases, we observe the suppression of superconductivity with the concomitant emergence of an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) at P≈1.15 GPa. Above 1.6GPa, we uncover a reentrant superconducting state emerging from a state still exhibiting AHE. This superconducting state competes with the AHE state and shows a marked increase in superconducting anisotropy with respect to the ambient pressure phase, suggesting a distinct pairing symmetry. We demonstrate that 1T'-WS2 concomitantly transitions into a strong topological phase with different band orbital characters and Fermi surfaces contributing to the superconductivity. These findings position 1T'-WS2 as a tunable superconductor, wherein superconductivity, AHE, and band features can be tuned reversibly.

Composition-tunable transition metal dichalcogenide nanosheets <i>via</i> a scalable, solution-processable method.

Project description:The alloying of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is an established route to produce robust semiconductors with continuously tunable optoelectronic properties. However, typically reported methods for fabricating alloyed 2D TMD nanosheets are not suitable for the inexpensive, scalable production of large-area (m2) devices. Herein we describe a general method to afford large quantities of compositionally-tunable 2D TMD nanosheets using commercially available powders and liquid-phase exfoliation. Beginning with Mo(1-x)WxS2 nanosheets, we demonstrate tunable optoelectronic properties as a function of composition. We extend this method to produce Mo0.5W0.5Se2 MoSSe, WSSe, and quaternary Mo0.5W0.5SSe nanosheets. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging confirms the atomic arrangement of the nanosheets, while an array of spectroscopic techniques is used to characterize the chemical and optoelectronic properties. This transversal method represents an important step towards upscaling tailored TMD nanosheets with a broad range of tunable optoelectronic properties for large-area devices.

Tunable Rashba spin splitting in Janus transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers <i>via</i> charge doping.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) Janus transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) (MXY, M = Mo, W; X, Y = S, Se, Te; X ≠ Y) have desirable energy gaps and high stability in ambient conditions, similar to traditional 2D TMDs with potential applications in electronics. But different from traditional 2D TMDs, 2D Janus TMDs possess intrinsic Rashba spin splitting due to out-of-plane mirror symmetry breaking, with promising applications in spintronics. Here we demonstrate a new and effective way to manipulate the Rashba effect in 2D Janus TMDs, that is, charge doping, by using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that electron doping can effectively strengthen the Rashba spin splitting at the valence band maximum (VBM) and conduction band minimum (CBM) in 2D Janus TMDs without constant energy consumption, superior to traditional techniques (electric fields and strain engineering), but hole doping would weaken the Rashba effect in 2D Janus TMDs. By combining the DFT calculations with the electric-triple-layer model, we also reveal the intrinsic mechanism of tuning the Rashba effect in 2D Janus TMDs by charge doping, and find that the charge transfer plays an important role in tuning the Rashba spin splitting in 2D polar semiconductors. In particular, the Rashba constants are linearly dependent on the charge transfer between X (or Y) and M atoms in 2D Janus TMDs. These results enrich the fundamental understanding of the Rashba effect in 2D semiconductors, which can be promising candidates for spin field-effect transistors (FETs) in experiments.

Transition metal dichalcogenide magnetic atomic chains.

Project description:Reducing the dimensions of a material to the atomic scale endows them with novel properties that are significantly different from their bulk counterparts. A family of stoichiometric transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) MX2 (M = Ti to Mn, and X = S to Te) atomic chains is proposed. The results reveal that the MX2 atomic chains, the smallest possible nanostructure of a TMD, are lattice-dynamically stable, as confirmed from their phonon spectra and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. In contrast to their bulk and two-dimensional (2D) counterparts, the TiX2 atomic chains are nonmagnetic semiconductors, while the VX2, CrX2, and MnX2 chains are unipolar magnetic, bipolar magnetic, and antiferromagnetic semiconductors, respectively. In addition, the VX2, CrX2, and MnX2 chains can be converted via carrier doping from magnetic semiconductors to half metals with reversible spin-polarization orientation at the Fermi level. Of these chains, the MnX2 chains exhibit either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic half metallicity depending on the injected carrier type and concentration. The diverse and tunable electronic and magnetic properties in the MX2 chains originate, based on crystal field theory, from the occupation of the metal d orbitals and the exchange interaction between the tetrahedrally coordinated metal atoms in the atomic chain. The calculated interaction between the carbon nanotubes and the MX2 chains implies that armchair (7,7) or armchair (8,8) carbon nanotubes are appropriate sheaths for growing MX2 atomic single-chains in a confined channel. This study reveals the diverse magnetic properties of MX2 atomic single-chains and provides a promising building block for nanoscale electronic and spintronic devices.

Magnetic exchange coupling and anisotropy of 3d transition metal nanowires on graphyne.

Project description:Applying two-dimensional monolayer materials in nanoelectronics and spintronics is hindered by a lack of ordered and separately distributed spin structures. We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of one-dimensional zigzag and armchair 3d transition metal (TM) nanowires on graphyne (GY), using density functional theory plus Hubbard U (DFT + U). The 3d TM nanowires are formed on graphyne (GY) surfaces. TM atoms separately and regularly embed within GY, achieving long-range magnetic spin ordering. TM exchange coupling of the zigzag and armchair nanowires is mediated by sp-hybridized carbon, and results in long-range magnetic order and magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic coupling mechanism is explained by competition between through-bond and through-space interactions derived from superexchange. These results aid the realization of GY in spintronics.

Thermal conductivity across transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers.

Project description:Cross-plane thermal conductivities of transition metal dichalcogenide MX2 (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) bilayers are determined by homogeneous nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. The best insulator is found to be WSe2 : WSe2 , closely followed by WS2 : WS2 and MoSe2 : WSe2 . Thermal conductivities of heterobilayers are close to the average of the two corresponding homobilayer values, despite the mass and lattice mismatch. To disentangle the effects of atomic mass, lattice constant, and interaction potential, these three parameters are systematically varied. Phonon spectral analysis provides further insight into their roles and reveals the weak influence of spectral overlap between the two layers and the dominance of boundary scattering. The observed trends can be rationalized using Slack's formula in terms of the average atomic mass and the Debye temperature. Accurate interlayer interaction potentials are developed based on experimental elastic constants. Their effect on the bilayer cross-plane thermal conductivities is found to be minor.
