Scattering of charge carriers and flicker noise in electrical transport are the central performance limiting factors in electronic devices, but their microscopic origin in molybdenum disulphide~(MoS$_2$)-based field effect transistors remains poorly understood. Here, we show that both carrier scattering and low-frequency $1/f$ noise in mechanically exfoliated ultra-thin MoS$_2$ layers are determined by the localized trap states located within the MoS$_2$ channel itself. The trap states not only act as Coulomb scattering centers that determine transport in both equilibrium ($eV< k_BT$) and non-equilibrium ($eV>k_BT$) regimes, where $V$ and $T$ are the source drain bias and temperature respectively, but also exchange carriers with the channel to produce the conductivity noise. The internal origin of the trap states was further confirmed by studying noise in MoS$_2$ films deposited on crystalline boron nitride substrates. Possible origin and nature of the trap states is also discussed.

Recent discoveries of the photoresponse of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have shown the considerable potential of these two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides for optoelectronic applications. Among the various types of photoresponses of MoS2, persistent photoconductivity (PPC) at different levels has been reported. However, a detailed study of the PPC effect and its mechanism in MoS2 is still not available, despite the importance of this effect on the photoresponse of the material. Here, we present a systematic study of the PPC effect in monolayer MoS2 and conclude that the effect can be attributed to random localized potential fluctuations in the devices. Notably, the potential fluctuations originate from extrinsic sources based on the substrate effect of the PPC. Moreover, we point out a correlation between the PPC effect in MoS2 and the percolation transport behavior of MoS2. We demonstrate a unique and efficient means of controlling the PPC effect in monolayer MoS2, which may offer novel functionalities for MoS2-based optoelectronic applications in the future.
We report on the fabrication and characterization of synthesized multiwall MoS2 nanotube (NT) and nanoribbon (NR) field-effect transistors (FETs). The MoS2 NTs and NRs were grown by chemical transport, using iodine as a transport agent. Raman spectro scopy confirms the material as unambiguously MoS2 in NT, NR, and flake forms. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe cross sections of the devices after electrical measurements and these were used in the interpretation of the electrical measurements allowing estimation of the current density. The NT and NR FETs demonstrate n-type behavior, with ON/OFF current ratios exceeding 10^3, and with current densities of 1.02 {mu}A/{mu}m, and 0.79 {mu}A/{mu}m at VDS = 0.3 V and VBG = 1 V, respectively. Photocurrent measurements conducted on a MoS2 NT FET, revealed short-circuit photocurrent of tens of nanoamps under an excitation optical power of 78 {mu}W and 488 nm wavelength, which corresponds to a responsivity of 460 {mu}A/W. A long channel transistor model was used to model the common-source characteristics of MoS2 NT and NR FETs and was shown to be consistent with the measured data.
We discuss the high-bias electrical characteristics of back-gated field-effect transistors with CVD-synthesized bilayer MoS2 channel and Ti Schottky contacts. We find that oxidized Ti contacts on MoS2 form rectifying junctions with ~0.3 to 0.5 eV Sch ottky barrier height. To explain the rectifying output characteristics of the transistors, we propose a model based on two slightly asymmetric back-to-back Schottky barriers, where the highest current arises from image force barrier lowering at the electrically forced junction, while the reverse current is due to Schottky-barrier limited injection at the grounded junction. The device achieves a photo responsivity greater than 2.5 AW-1 under 5 mWcm-2 white-LED light. By comparing two- and four-probe measurements, we demonstrate that the hysteresis and persistent photoconductivity exhibited by the transistor are peculiarities of the MoS2 channel rather than effects of the Ti/MoS2 interface.
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have numerous potential applications in ultrathin electronics and photonics. The exposure of TMD based devices to light generates photo-carriers resulting in an enhanced conductivity, which can be effe ctively used, e.g., in photodetectors. If the photo-enhanced conductivity persists after removal of the irradiation, the effect is known as persistent photoconductivity (PPC). Here we show that ultraviolet light (wavelength = 365 nm) exposure induces an extremely long-living giant PPC (GPPC) in monolayer MoS2 (ML-MoS2) field-effect transistors (FET) with a time constant of ~30 days. Furthermore, this effect leads to a large enhancement of the conductivity up to a factor of 107. In contrast to previous studies in which the origin of the PPC was attributed to extrinsic reasons such as trapped charges in the substrate or adsorbates, we unambiguously show that the GPPC arises mainly from the intrinsic properties of ML-MoS2 such as lattice defects that induce a large amount of localized states in the forbidden gap. This finding is supported by a detailed experimental and theoretical study of the electric transport in TMD based FETs as well as by characterization of ML-MoS2 with scanning tunneling spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. The obtained results provide a basis towards the defect-based engineering of the electronic and optical properties of TMDs for device applications.

We present the results of the experimental investigation of the low - frequency noise in bilayer graphene transistors. The back - gated devices were fabricated using the electron beam lithography and evaporation. The charge neutrality point for the f abricated transistors was around 10 V. The noise spectra at frequencies above 10 - 100 Hz were of the 1/f - type with the spectral density on the order of 10E-23 - 10E-22 A2/Hz at the frequency of 1 kHz. The deviation from the 1/f spectrum at the frequencies below 10 -100 Hz indicates that the noise is of the carrier - number fluctuation origin due to the carrier trapping by defects. The Hooge parameter of 10E-4 was extracted for this type of devices. The gate dependence of the noise spectral density suggests that the noise is dominated by the contributions from the ungated part of the device channel and by the contacts. The obtained results are important for graphene electronic applications.
