We demonstrate that the interfacial dipole associated with bonding across the SrTiO3/Si heterojunction can be tuned through space charge, thereby enabling the band alignment to be altered via doping. Oxygen impurities in Si act as donors that create space charge by transferring electrons across the interface into SrTiO3. The space charge induces an electric field that modifies the interfacial dipole, thereby tuning the band alignment from type-II to type-III. The transferred charge, resulting in built-in electric fields, and change in band alignment are manifested in electrical transport and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Ab initio models reveal the interplay between polarization and band offsets. We find that band offsets can be tuned by modulating the density of space charge across the interface. Functionalizing the interface dipole to enable electrostatic altering of band alignment opens new pathways to realize novel behavior in semiconducting heterojunctions.

The emergence of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as 2D electronic materials has stimulated proposals of novel electronic and photonic devices based on TMD heterostructures. Here we report the determination of band offsets in TMD heterostructu
res by using microbeam X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ({mu}-XPS) and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S). We determine a type-II alignment between $textrm{MoS}_2$ and $textrm{WSe}_2$ with a valence band offset (VBO) value of 0.83 eV and a conduction band offset (CBO) of 0.76 eV. First-principles calculations show that in this heterostructure with dissimilar chalcogen atoms, the electronic structures of $textrm{WSe}_2$ and $textrm{MoS}_2$ are well retained in their respective layers due to a weak interlayer coupling. Moreover, a VBO of 0.94 eV is obtained from density functional theory (DFT), consistent with the experimental determination.
Two-dimensional (2d) nano-electronics, plasmonics, and emergent phases require clean and local charge control, calling for layered, crystalline acceptors or donors. Our Raman, photovoltage, and electrical conductance measurements combined with textit
{ab initio} calculations establish the large work function and narrow bands of $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ enable modulation doping of exfoliated, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) materials. Short-ranged lateral doping (${leq}65 text{nm}$) and high homogeneity are achieved in proximate materials with a single layer of arucl. This leads to the highest monolayer graphene (mlg) mobilities ($4,900 text{cm}^2/ text{Vs}$) at these high hole densities ($3times10^{13} text{cm}^{-2}$); and yields larger charge transfer to bilayer graphene (blg) ($6times10^{13} text{cm}^{-2}$). We further demonstrate proof of principle optical sensing, control via twist angle, and charge transfer through hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).
Voltage modulation of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) with compactness, high speed response, energy efficiency and both practical/theoretical siginificances can be widely applied to various YIG based spintronics such as spin Hall, spin pumping, spin Seebac
k effects. Here we initial an ionic modulation of interfacial magnetism process on YIG/Pt bilayer heterostructures, where the Pt capping would influence the ferromagnetic (FMR) field position significantly, and realize a significant magnetism enhancement in bilayer system. A large voltage induced FMR field shifts of 690 Oe has been achieved in YIG (13 nm)/Pt (3 nm) multilayer heterostructures under a small voltage bias of 4.5 V. The remarkable ME tunability comes from voltage induced extra FM ordering in Pt metal layer near the Pt/YIG interface. The first-principle theoretical simulation reveal that the electrostatic doping induced Pt5+ ions have strong magnetic ordering due to uncompensated d orbit electrons. The large voltage control of FMR change pave a foundation towards novel voltage tunable YIG based spintronics.
We have successfully demonstrated Si/GaAs p-n heterostructures using Al2O3 ultra-thin oxide interfacial layers. The band diagram and band offsets were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and confirm a small discontinuity in the conduc
tion band (0.03 eV) at the interface. The interface defect density (Dit) values of the heterointerface with different ultra-thin oxide (UO) thicknesses ranged from 0.35 nm to 3.5 nm and were also characterized based on a metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor (MOSCAP) structure using a capacitance-voltage measurement. The results revealed that a thin UO interfacial layer (around 1 nm) maximizes carrier transport property due to better surface passivation and efficient tunneling properties. Thermal property investigation also shows that the Al2O3 UO interfacial layer offers a good tunneling layer but also facilitates phonon transport across the interface. Finally, the electrical characterization of Si/GaAs heterojunction p-n diodes confirms reliable rectifying behavior with an extremely low ideality factor; thus, heterogeneous integration using the UO approach offers a robust way to create more types of heterojunctions between dissimilar semiconductors.
Although there are so many reports on the carrier effective mass (m*) of a transparent oxide semiconductor BaSnO3, it is almost impossible to know the intrinsic m* value because the reported m* values are scattered from 0.06 to 3.7 m0. Here we succes
sfully clarified the intrinsic m* of BaSnO3, m*=0.40 0.01 m0, by the thermopower modulation clarification method. We also found the threshold of degenerate/non-degenerate semiconductor of BaSnO3; At the threshold, the thermopower value of both La-doped BaSnO3 and BaSnO3 TFT structure was 240 microvolt k-1, bulk carrier concentration was 1.4E19 cm-3, and two-dimensional sheet carrier concentration was 1.8E12 cm-2. When the EF locates above the parabolic shaped conduction band bottom, rather high mobility was observed. On the contrary, very low carrier mobility was observed when the EF lays below the threshold, most likely due to that the tail states suppress the carrier mobility. The present results are useful for further development of BaSnO3 based oxide electronics.
