Article Abstract

Two dimensional (2D) materials with anisotropic optoelectronic properties provide a feasible solution for polarization photodetectors, however, it is challenging to achieve simultaneous high responsivity, fast photoresponse, and good anisotropic ratio of the photocurrent (I/I). In this work, a polarization-sensitive photodetector based on ReS/MoSe van der Waals heterostructures is constructed for type-II energy band alignment with a clean contact interface. Under 532 nm laser irradiation, the photodetector has both high responsivity (89.4 A W), high-speed response (≈30.5 µs/≈36.2 µs), and high anisotropy ratio of 3.23. The performance of the device has been enhanced for multifunctional applications, including single-pixel polarization imaging and encrypted optical communication by combining Morse code with polarization encoding, demonstrating its potential in polarization-related optical information applications.

Confinement of monolayers into quasi-1D atomically thin nanoribbons could lead to novel quantum phenomena beyond those achieved in their bulk and monolayer counterparts. However, current experimental availability of nanoribbon species beyond graphene is limited to bottom-up synthesis or lithographic patterning. In this study, a versatile and direct approach is introduced to exfoliate bulk van der Waals crystals as nanoribbons.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors featuring low-symmetry crystal structures hold an immense potential for the design of advanced optoelectronic devices, leveraging their inherent anisotropic attributes. While the synthesis techniques for transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have matured, a promising avenue emerges: the induction of anisotropy within symmetric TMDs through interlayer van der Waals coupling engineering. Here, we unveil the creation of heterostructures (HSs) by stacking highly symmetric MoSe with low-symmetry ReS, introducing artificial anisotropy into monolayer MoSe.

Electronic transmission in monolayer ReS[Formula: see text] and ReS[Formula: see text] based van der Waals (vdW) heterointerfaces are studied here. Since ReS[Formula: see text]/WSe[Formula: see text] and ReS[Formula: see text]/MoSe[Formula: see text] type-II vdW heterostructures are suitable for near infrared (NIR)/short-wave infrared (SWIR) photodetection, the role of interlayer coupling at the heterointerfaces is examined in this work. Besides, a detailed theoretical study is presented employing density functional theory (DFT) and nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) combination to analyse the transmission spectra of the two-port devices with ReS[Formula: see text]/WSe[Formula: see text] and ReS[Formula: see text]/MoSe[Formula: see text] channels and compare the near-equilibrium conductance values.

ConspectusLayered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are intriguing two-dimensional (2D) compounds where metal and chalcogen atoms are covalently bonded in each monolayer, and the monolayers are held together by weak van der Waals forces. Distinct from graphene, which is chemically inert, layered TMDs exhibit a wide range of electronic, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties dependent upon their compositions, crystal structures, and thicknesses, which make them fundamentally and technologically important. TMD nanostructures are traditionally synthesized using gas-phase chemical deposition methods, which are typically limited to small-scale samples of substrate-bound planar materials.
