Article Abstract
MoTe_{2} monolayers and bilayers are unique within the family of van der Waals materials since they pave the way toward atomically thin infrared light-matter quantum interfaces, potentially reaching the important telecommunication windows. Here, we report emergent exciton polaritons based on MoTe_{2} monolayers and bilayers in a low-temperature open microcavity in a joint experiment-theory study. Our experiments clearly evidence both the enhanced oscillator strength and enhanced luminescence of MoTe_{2} bilayers, signified by a 38% increase of the Rabi splitting and a strongly enhanced relaxation of polaritons to low-energy states. The latter is distinct from polaritons in MoTe_{2} monolayers, which feature a bottlenecklike relaxation inhibition. Both the polaritonic spin valley locking in monolayers and the spin-layer locking in bilayers are revealed via the Zeeman effect, which we map and control via the light-matter composition of our polaritonic resonances.

2D semiconductor materials have shown great potential and advantages for a wide variety of optoelectronic devices, especially compact and integrated light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers. However, the lack of a type-I double-heterostructure has severely hindered the development of efficient LEDs and lasers based on 2D materials. In this article, a lateral double-heterostructure is proposed based on a single type-I heterostructure composed of multilayer WSe and monolayer MoTe with double back-gates.

Defects in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are pivotal in modulating their electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. Investigating these defects is essential for advancing both fundamental knowledge and practical applications. In this study, we examine the individual defects in a monolayer of MoTe supported on graphene grown on an Ir(111) substrate by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).

MoTe is considered a promising 2D material for solar energy and optoelectronic applications owing to its suitable bandgap value and specific excitonic behaviors. However, its band-edge and excitonic transitions have not been fully elucidated. In this study, micro-thermoreflectance (µTR) spectroscopy results show that multilayered 2H-MoTe exhibits multiple excitonic features, including A, B, A', C, D, E, F, and G excitons, as well as one indirect-gap related feature, observed in a 500 nm-thick nanoflake at 300 K.

van der Waals heterostructures have attracted widespread attention due to their unique photoelectric properties. In this study, formation and stability, electrical structure, and optical properties of the MoTe/BP vdWH are examined utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Using the PBE and HSE06 methods, it has been discovered that the band alignment in the heterojunction is of type-I, and it has indirect bandgaps of 1.

1T'-MoTe exhibits a variety of intriguing physical properties, consisting of nontrivial higher-order topological behavior, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, and reversible phase transition. Hence, 1T'-MoTe has emerged as a hot spot in the fields of condensed matter physics and materials science. Nevertheless, the large-area synthesis of phase-pure 1T'-MoTe thin films has always been a big challenge for their widespread studies and device applications.
