Two-dimensional lateral heterojunctions are basic components for low-power and flexible optoelectronics. In contrast to monolayers, devices based on few-layer lateral heterostructures could offer superior performance due to their lower susceptibility to environmental conditions. Here, we report the controlled synthesis of multi-junction bilayer lateral heterostructures based on MoS2-WS2 and MoSe2-WSe2, where the hetero-junctions are created via sequential lateral edge-epitaxy that happens simultaneously in both the first and the second layer. With respect to their monolayer counterparts, bilayer lateral heterostructures yield nearly one order of magnitude higher rectification currents. They also display a clear photovoltaic response, with short circuit currents ~103 times larger than those extracted from the monolayers, in addition to room-temperature electroluminescence. The superior performance of bilayer heterostructures significantly expands the functionalities of 2D crystals.

Semiconductor heterostructures are fundamental building blocks for many important device applications. The emergence of two-dimensional semiconductors opens up a new realm for creating heterostructures. As the bandgaps of transition metal dichalcogen
ides thin films have sensitive layer dependence, it is natural to create lateral heterojunctions using the same materials with different thicknesses. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, here we show the real space image of electronic structures across the bilayer-monolayer interface in MoSe2 and WSe2. Most bilayer-monolayer heterojunctions are found to have a zigzag-orientated interface, and the band alignment of such atomically sharp heterojunctions is of type-I with a well-defined interface mode which acts as a narrower-gap quantum wire. The ability to utilize such commonly existing thickness terrace as lateral heterojunctions is a crucial addition to the tool set for device applications based on atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides, with the advantage of easy and flexible implementation.
Van der Waals (vdW) heterobilayers formed by two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) created a promising platform for various electronic and optical properties. ab initio band results indicate that the band offset of type-II ban
d alignment in TMDCs vdW heterobilayer could be tuned by introducing Janus WSSe monolayer, instead of an external electric field. On the basis of symmetry analysis, the allowed interlayer hopping channels of TMDCs vdW heterobilayer were determined, and a four-level kp model was developed to obtain the interlayer hopping. Results indicate that the interlayer coupling strength could be tuned by interlayer electric polarization featured by various band offsets. Moreover, the difference in the formation mechanism of interlayer valley excitons in different TMDCs vdW heterobilayers with various interlayer hopping strength was also clarified.
The diffusive motion of metal nanoparticles Au and Ag on monolayer and between bilayer heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene are investigated in the framework of density functional theory. We found that the minimum energy
barriers for diffusion and the possibility of cluster formation depend strongly on both the type of nanoparticle and the type of monolayers and bilayers. Moreover, the tendency to form clusters of Ag and Au can be tuned by creating various bilayers. Tunability of the diffusion characteristics of adatoms in van der Waals heterostructures holds promise for controllable growth of nanostructures.
The usage of molten salts, e.g., Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4, has shown great success in the growth of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In comparison with the halide salt (i.e., NaCl, NaBr, KI)-
assisted growth (Salt 1.0), the molten salt-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth technique (Salt 2.0) has improved the reproducibility, efficiency and scalability of synthesizing 2D TMDCs. However, the growth of large-area MoSe2 and WTe2 is still quite challenging with the use Salt 2.0 technique. In this study, a renewed Salt 2.0 technique using mixed salts (e.g., Na2MoO4-Na2SeO3 and Na2WO4-Na2TeO3) is developed for the enhanced CVD growth of 2D MoSe2 and WTe2 crystals with large grain size and yield. Continuous monolayer MoSe2 film with grain size of 100-250 {mu}m or isolated flakes up to ~ 450 {mu}m is grown on a halved 2-inch SiO2/Si wafer. Our study further confirms the synergistic effect of Na+ and SeO32- in the enhanced CVD growth of wafer-scale monolayer MoSe2 film. And thus, the addition of Na2SeO3 and Na2TeO3 into the transition metal salts could be a general strategy for the enhanced CVD growth of many other 2D selenides and tellurides.
The crystal structure of a material creates a periodic potential that electrons move through giving rise to the electronic band structure of the material. When two-dimensional materials are stacked, the twist angle between the layers becomes an addit
ional degree freedom for the resulting heterostructure. As this angle changes, the electronic band structure is modified leading to the possibility of flat bands with localized states and enhanced electronic correlations. In transition metal dichalcogenides, flat bands have been theoretically predicted to occur for long moire wavelengths over a range of twist angles around 0 and 60 degrees giving much wider versatility than magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. Here we show the existence of a flat band in the electronic structure of 3{deg} and 57.5{deg} twisted bilayer WSe2 samples using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Direct spatial mapping of wavefunctions at the flat band energy have shown that the flat bands are localized differently for 3{deg} and 57.5{deg}, in excellent agreement with first-principle density functional theory calculations.
