Article Abstract
We demonstrate the type-II staggered band alignment in MoTe2/MoS2 van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures and an interlayer optical transition at ∼1.55 μm. The photoinduced charge separation between the MoTe2/MoS2 vdW heterostructure is verified by Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) under illumination, density function theory (DFT) simulations and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Photoelectrical measurements of MoTe2/MoS2 vdW heterostructures show a distinct photocurrent response in the infrared regime (1550 nm). The creation of type-II vdW heterostructures with strong interlayer coupling could improve our fundamental understanding of the essential physics behind vdW heterostructures and help the design of next-generation infrared optoelectronics.

Superconductivity and magnetism are two of the most extensively studied ordered systems in condensed matter physics. Recent advancements in the fabrication of van der Waals (vdW) layered materials have significantly advanced the exploration of both fundamental physics and practical applications within their heterostructures. The focus not only lies on the coexisting mechanism between superconductivity and magnetism, but also highlights the potential of these atomically thin layers to serve as crucial components in future superconducting circuits.

To assess the efficacy of a mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in modulating the optoelectronic responses of nanodevices, the charge transport properties of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructure comprising zero-dimensional (0D) WS quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) MoS flakes are critically analyzed. Herein, a facile strategy was materialized in developing an atomically thin phototransistor assembled from mechanically exfoliated MoS and WS QDs synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The amalgamated photodetectors exhibited a high responsivity of ∼8000 A/W at an incident power of 0.

The thermal and dynamical stabilities of the investigated systems were systematically validated using energy-strain analysis, molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, as well as binding energy and phonon spectrum calculations. After analyzing the band structure, VS-BGaX (X = S, Se) MS vdWHs metallic behavior with type-III band alignment is revealed.

This study presents the experimental demonstration of metallic NbS-based one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures using a modified NaCl-assisted chemical vapor deposition strategy. By employing a ″remote salt″ strategy, we realized precise control of the NaCl supply, enabling the growth of high-quality coaxial NbS nanotubes on single-walled carbon nanotube-boron nitride nanotube (SWCNT-BNNT) templates. Using this remote salt strategy, the morphologies of as-synthesized NbS could be tuned from 1D nanotubes to suspended 2D flakes.

Magnetic van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures (HSs), whose interface engineering enables versatile manipulation of charge and spin transfer, have received considerable interest. However, the dynamics underlying these exotic interfacial phenomena require deeper investigation. In this work, we investigated the interfacial charge transfer dynamics in a HS comprising layered antiferromagnetic NiPS and transition metal dichalcogenide WS.
