Article Abstract

The development of p-type WSe transistors has lagged behind n-type MoS because of challenges in growing high-quality, large-area WSe films. This study employs an alkali-assisted CVD (AACVD) method by using KOH to enhance nucleation on sapphire substrates, effectively promoting monolayer growth on c-plane sapphire and enabling controlled bilayer seeding on miscut surfaces with artificial steps. With AACVD, we achieve 2-inch monolayer and centimeter-scale bilayer WSe films with defect densities as low as 1.6 × 10cm (monolayer) and 1.8 × 10cm (bilayer), comparable to exfoliated WSe. Bilayer WSe transistors exhibit hole/electron mobilities of 119/34 cm²/Vs, while monolayers achieve 105/22 cm²/Vs with suitable metal contacts. Additionally, bilayer WSe demonstrates lower contact resistance for both n-type and p-type transistors, making it highly promising for future high-performance electronic applications.

Excitonic insulators represent a unique quantum phase of matter that enables the study of exotic quantum bosonic states. Strongly coupled electron-hole bilayers, which host stable dipolar exciton fluids with an exciton density that can be adjusted electrostatically, offer an ideal platform to investigate correlated excitonic insulators. On the basis of electron-hole bilayers made of MoSe/hexagonal boron nitride/WSe heterostructures, here we study the behaviour of excitonic insulators in a perpendicular magnetic field.

Two-dimensional lateral heterostructures based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for optoelectronics due to their layer thickness-dependent properties. Bilayer structures, in particular, offer advantages like enhanced electron mobility and improved stability. However, precisely controlling layer growth in these heterostructures remains a challenge.

Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer WSe_{2}, we analyze the correlated physics in this system in the framework of a continuum model for the moiré superlattice. Using the symmetries in a fine-tuned limit of the system, we identify the strong-coupling ground states and their fate when the perturbations caused by finite bandwidth, displacement field, and the phase of the intralayer potential are taken into account. We classify the superconducting instabilities and, employing a spin-fermion-like model, study the superconducting instabilities in proximity to these insulating particle-hole orders.

Source/Drain extension doping is crucial for minimizing the series resistance of the ungated channel and reducing the contact resistance of field-effect transistors (FETs) in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. 2D semiconductors, such as MoS and WSe, are promising channel materials for beyond-silicon CMOS. A key challenge is to achieve extension doping for 2D monolayer FETs without damaging the atomically thin material.

Bilayer graphene (BLG)-based quantum devices represent a promising platform for emerging technologies, such as quantum computing and spintronics. However, their intrinsically weak spin-orbit coupling (SOC) complicates spin and valley manipulation. Integrating BLG with transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) enhances the SOC via proximity effects.
