We investigate a vertically-stacked hybrid photodiode consisting of a thin n-type molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_{2}$) layer transferred onto p-type silicon. The fabrication is scalable as the MoS$_{2}$ is grown by a controlled and tunable vapor phase sulfurization process. The obtained large-scale p-n heterojunction diodes exhibit notable photoconductivity which can be tuned by modifying the thickness of the MoS$_{2}$ layer. The diodes have a broad spectral response due to direct and indirect band transitions of the nanoscale MoS$_{2}$. Further, we observe a blue-shift of the spectral response into the visible range. The results are a significant step towards scalable fabrication of vertical devices from two-dimensional materials and constitute a new paradigm for materials engineering.

Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials display great potential for a range of applications, particularly in electronics. We report the large-scale synthesis of thin films of platinum diselenide (PtSe2), a thus far scarcely investigated transition met al dichalcogenide. Importantly, the synthesis by thermal assisted conversion is performed at 400 {deg}C, representing a breakthrough for the direct integration of this novel material with silicon (Si) technology. Besides the thorough characterization of this new 2D material, we demonstrate its promise for applications in high-performance gas sensing with extremely short response and recovery times observed due to the 2D nature of the films. Furthermore, we realized vertically-stacked heterostructures of PtSe2 on Si which act as both photodiodes and photovoltaic cells. Thus this study establishes PtSe2 as a potential candidate for next-generation sensors and (opto-)electronic devices, using fabrication protocols compatible with established Si technologies.
We present a systematic study of the morphology of homoepitaxial InP films grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy which are imaged with ex situ atomic force microscopy. These films show a dramatic range of different surface morphologies as a funct ion of the growth conditions and substrate (growth temperature, V/III ratio, and miscut angle < 0.6deg and orientation toward A or B sites), ranging from stable step flow to previously unreported strong step bunching, over 10 nm in height. These observations suggest a window of growth parameters for optimal quality epitaxial layers. We also present a theoretical model for these growth modes that takes account of deposition, diffusion, and dissociation of molecular precursors, and the diffusion and step incorporation of atoms released by the precursors. The experimental conditions for step flow and step bunching are reproduced by this model, with the step bunching instability caused by the difference in molecular dissociation from above and below step edges, as was discussed previously for GaAs (001).
The direct growth of semiconductors over metals by molecular beam epitaxy is a difficult task due to the large differences in crystallization energy between these types of materials. This aspect is problematic in the context of spintronics, where coh erent spin-injection must proceed via ballistic transport through sharp interfacial Schottky barriers. We report the realization of single-crystalline ferromagnet/semiconductor/ferromagnet hybrid trilayers using solid-phase epitaxy, with combinations of Fe3Si, Co2FeSi, and Ge. The slow annealing of amorphous Ge over Fe3Si results in a crystalline filmlm identified as FeGe2. When the annealing is performed over Co2FeSi, reflected high-energy electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction indicate the creation of a different crystalline Ge(Co,Fe,Si) compound, which also preserves growth orientation. It was possible to observe independent magnetization switching of the ferromagnetic layers in a Fe3Si/FeGe2/Co2FeSi sample, thanks to the different coercive fields of the two metals and to the quality of the interfaces. This result is a step towards the implementation of vertical spin-selective transistor-like devices.
Single- and multi-walled molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) nanotubes have been coaxially grown on small diameter boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) which were synthesized from heteronanotubes by removing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and systema tically investigated by optical spectroscopy. The strong photoluminescence (PL) from single-walled MoS$_2$ nanotubes supported by core BNNTs is observed in this work, which evidences a direct band gap structure for single-walled MoS$_2$ nanotubes with around 6 - 7 nm in diameter. The observation is consistent with our DFT results that the single-walled MoS$_2$ nanotube changes from an indirect-gap to a direct-gap semiconductor when the diameter of a nanotube is more than around 5 nm. On the other hand, when there are SWCNTs inside the heteronanotubes of BNNTs and MoS$_2$ nanotubes, the PL signal is considerably quenched. The charge transfer and energy transfer between SWCNTs and single-walled MoS$_2$ nanotubes were examined through characterizations by PL, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy. Unlike the single-walled MoS$_2$ nanotubes, multi-walled MoS$_2$ nanotubes do not emit light. Single- and multi-walled MoS$_2$ nanotubes exhibit different Raman features in both resonant and non-resonant Raman spectra. The method of assembling heteronanotubes using BNNTs as templates provides an efficient approach for exploring the electronic and optical properties of other transition metal dichalcogenide nanotubes.
Combining MoS$_2$ monolayers to form multilayers allows to access new functionalities. In this work, we examine the correlation between the stacking order and the interlayer coupling of valence states in MoS$_2$ homobilayer samples grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and artificially stacked bilayers from CVD monolayers. We show that hole delocalization over the bilayer is allowed in 2H stacking and results in strong interlayer exciton absorption and also in a larger A-B exciton separation as compared to 3R bilayers, where both holes and electrons are confined to the individual layers. Comparing 2H and 3R reflectivity spectra allows to extract an interlayer coupling energy of about $t_perp=49$ meV. Obtaining very similar results for as-grown and artificially stacked bilayers is promising for assembling large area van der Waals structures with CVD material, using interlayer exciton absorption and A-B exciton separation as indicators for interlayer coupling. Beyond DFT calculations including excitonic effects confirm signatures of efficient interlayer coupling for 2H stacking in agreement with our experiments.
