Article Abstract

Two-dimensional molybdenum ditelluride (2D MoTe) is an interesting material for artificial synapses due to its unique electronic properties and phase tunability in different polymorphs 2H/1T'. However, the growth of stable and large-scale 2D MoTe on a CMOS-compatible Si/SiO substrate remains challenging because of the high growth temperature and impurity-involved transfer process. We developed a large-scale MoTe film on a Si/SiO wafer by simple sputtering followed by lithium-ion intercalation and applied it to artificial synaptic devices. The AlO passivation layer allows us to develop a stable 1T'-MoTe phase by preventing Te segregation caused by the weak bonding between Mo and Te atoms during lithiation. The lithiated MoTe film exhibits excellent synaptic behavior such as long-term potentiation/depression, a high / ratio (≈10) at lower sweep voltage, and long-term retention. The in situ Raman analysis along with a systematic microstructural analysis reveals that the intercalated Li ion can provide an efficient pathway for conducting filament formation.

Silicon-based optical modulators are crucial for advancing silicon photonics, particularly in optical communication and sensing applications. Thermo-optic (TO) modulation is a convenient and effective approach with a large phase modulation depth, which stands out among various techniques. However, conventional TO modulators face inherent trade-offs: metallic heaters require thick SiO isolation layers that limit thermal efficiency, while graphene-based designs incur large optical losses from transfer process-induced interfacial defects and absorption, ultimately restricting scalability in photonic integrated circuits.

The development of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as an ultrasensitive fingerprint analysis technique in precision medicine requires high-performance SERS substrates with controllable nanostructure (hot-spot) distribution, simple fabrication, superior stability, biocompatibility, and extraordinary optical responses. Unfortunately, fabrication of arbitrary nanostructures with high homogeneity on a large scale for SERS is still challenging. Herein, we report an ultrafast laser parallel fabrication protocol for Au/2D-transition-metal dichalcogenide hybrid SERS biosensors.

We investigate the moiré band structures and a possible even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state in small angle twisted bilayer MoTe_{2}, using combined large-scale local basis density functional theory calculation and continuum model exact diagonalization. Via large-scale first-principles calculations at θ=1.89°, we find a sequence of C=1 (Chern number in the K valley) moiré Chern bands in analogy to Landau levels.
