Article Abstract

2D semiconductors open new avenues in the post-Moore era for semiconductor technologies immune from the short-channel effect due to their atomic-scale thicknesses and dangling-bond-free surfaces. However, it still remains a big challenge to obtain large-area and high-quality monolayer p-type semiconductors so far. Herein, a controlled nucleation is realized by tuning the evaporation areas of Se precursors during the p-type WSe growth. By optimizing the nucleation density, centimeter-scale uniform monolayer WSe and Nb-incorporated WSe films are synthesized. The field effect transistor array based on WSe film exhibits p-type behavior with hole mobilities of 34 ± 17 cm V s and an average on/off ratio of 4 × 10, which can be further improved by Nb incorporation with much higher hole mobility of 48 ± 16 cm V s with an average on/off ratio of ≈10. The work paves the way for synthesizing large-scale uniform 2D p-type semiconductors for electrical devices and integrated circuits.

Based on the first-principles calculations, we theoretically investigate the electronic structure, interfacial and optical properties of the tellurene/ZnSe (namely α- and γ-Te/ZnSe) van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs). In the most stable stacking pattern, the α-Te/ZnSe vdWH exhibits an indirect band gap of 0.41 eV and forms a type-I band alignment, while the γ-Te/ZnSe vdWH possesses a p-type Schottky contact with a favorable Schottky barrier height of 0.

The lattice thermal conductivity () for the AgKTe monolayer is obtained using the second-, third-, and fourth-order interatomic force constants by machine learning methods. Remarkably, the inclusion of four-phonon (4ph) scattering processes leads to a significant reduction-by approximately 50-66%-in the value compared to calculations considering only three-phonon (3ph) processes. Consequently, an ultralow value of 0.

For high-performance nanoelectronic devices, choosing the appropriate and reliable electrode contact material is of vital importance. Through first-principles calculations, we have systematically investigated the geometric structural stability and electronic contact properties between monolayer 2H-phase ZrI and two-dimensional Dirac semi-metals. The results indicate that ZrI/semi-metal heterostructures are highly stable.

Ultrathin PtSe, a member of the group-10 transition metal dichalcogenides, has emerged as a promising two-dimensional material due to its layer-dependent, tunable bandgap. Notably, a unique semiconductor-to-metal transition is predicted as the layer number of this material increases; however, pinpointing the exact critical thickness for this transition and reliably quantifying the energy gaps of the semiconducting layers remain formidable challenges. In this work, all-van der Waals assembled multiprobe schemes and planar tunnel junctions are employed to systematically investigate the thickness-sensitive charge transport properties and energy gaps of ultrathin PtSe films.
