Identifying topological superconductivity in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides

Here we study the superconducting pairing instabilities and gap functions for prototypical two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) WS 2 , MoTe 2 , and MoS 2 in the 2H phase under both hole and electron doping at 10 K. Our first-principles quantum many-body Green's function approach allows us to treat the full d and p manifold of orbitals with strong spin-orbit coupling, yielding pairing predictions with material-specific detail. The resulting gap functions exhibit a variety of mixed-parity superconducting states, including s, p, d, f, d ± id, and p ± ip pairing modes. In particular, we predict 3% and 4% hole-doped WS 2 to be a chiral p ± ip topological superconductor. For 1% hole-doped MoS 2 , we find a competition between three doubly degenerate chiral and nonchiral instabilities. Overall, the relative pairing strengths are found to follow the Fermi-surface topology, due to nesting between the Fermi-surface sheets. Finally, we discuss our predictions in relation to available experimental data and classify the topology of the predicted superconducting pairing symmetries.

Biaxial Tensile Strain Enhances Electron Mobility of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Strain engineering can modulate the material properties of two-dimensional (2D) sem- iconductors for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Recent theory and experiments have found that uniaxial tensile strain can improve the electron mobility of monolayer MoS 2 , a 2D semiconductor, but the effects of biaxial strain on charge transport are not well-understood in 2D semiconductors. Here, we use biaxial tensile strain on flexible substrates to probe the electron mobility in monolayer WS 2 and MoS 2 transistors. Further, this approach experimentally achieves ~2× higher on-state current and mobility with ~0.3% applied biaxial strain in WS 2 , the highest mobility improvement at the lowest strain reported to date. We also examine the mechanisms behind this improvement through density functional theory simulations, concluding that the enhancement is primarily due to reduced intervalley electron-phonon scattering. These results underscore the role of strain engineering 2D semiconductors for flexible electronics, sensors, integrated circuits, and other opto-electronic applications.

Dielectric screening at TMD:hBN interfaces: Monolayer-to-bulk transition, local-field effect, and spatial dependence

The dielectric effects of a substrate have been shown to be important for modulating the electronic properties of an adsorbate, especially in van der Waals heterostructures. Here, using the first-principles dielectric embedding GW approach within the framework of many-body perturbation theory, we perform a case study on the dielectric screening effects of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on various transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We consider three systems, monolayer MoS 2 , bilayer MoS 2 , and a mixed WS 2 /MoS 2 bilayer adsorbed on hBN, and examine three aspects of the substrate dielectric screening: (i) the thickness dependence and the monolayer-to-bulk transition, for which we consider the effects of one-, two-, three-, and four-layer hBN; (ii) the local-field effect, for which we numerically assess a common approximation of neglecting the in-plane local-field components of the substrate polarizability; and (iii) the spatial dependence, for which we consider the mixed WS 2 /MoS 2 bilayer adsorbed on hBN with either side facing the substrate. Finally, our results provide quantitative insight into how the substrate screening effects can be leveraged for band structure engineering.

Anomalous isotope effect on the optical bandgap in a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor

Isotope effects have received increasing attention in materials science and engineering because altering isotopes directly affects phonons, which can affect both thermal properties and optoelectronic properties of conventional semiconductors. However, how isotopic mass affects the optoelectronic properties in 2D semiconductors remains unclear because of measurement uncertainties resulting from sample heterogeneities. Here, we report an anomalous optical bandgap energy red shift of 13 (±7) milli–electron volts as mass of Mo isotopes is increased in laterally structured 100 MoS 2 - 92 MoS 2 monolayers grown by a two-step chemical vapor deposition that mitigates the effects of heterogeneities. This trend, which is opposite to that observed in conventional semiconductors, is explained by many-body perturbation and time-dependent density functional theories that reveal unusually large exciton binding energy renormalizations exceeding the ground-state renormalization energy due to strong coupling between confined excitons and phonons. The isotope effect on the optical bandgap reported here provides perspective on the important role of exciton-phonon coupling in the physical properties of two-dimensional materials.

Excitation-Dependent High-Lying Excitonic Exchange via Interlayer Energy Transfer from Lower - to - Higher Bandgap 2D Material

High light absorption (~15%) and strong photoluminescence (PL) emission in monolayer (1L) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) make them ideal candidates for optoelectronic device applications. Competing interlayer charge transfer (CT) and energy transfer (ET) processes control the photocarrier relaxation pathways in TMD heterostructures (HSs). In TMDs, long-distance ET can survive up to several tens of nm, unlike the CT process. Our experiment shows that an efficient ET occurs from the 1Ls WSe 2 -to-MoS 2 with an interlayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), due to the resonant overlapping of the high-lying excitonic states between the two TMDs, resulting in enhanced HS MoS 2 PL emission. This type of unconventional ET from the lower-to-higher optical bandgap material is not typical in the TMD HSs. With increasing temperature, the ET process becomes weaker due to the increased electron–phonon scattering, destroying the enhanced MoS 2 emission. Our work provides new insight into the long-distance ET process and its effect on the photocarrier relaxation pathways.

Phase transition in two-dimensional monolayer (1L)-molybdenum disulfide induced by atomic S-basal plane gliding via synchrotron X-ray monochromatic beam radiation for superior electronic performance

Here, in this work, we report a novel approach to reduce the channel resistance by inducing a phase transition behavior from 2H to 1T in a monolayer MoS 2 (1L-MoS 2 ) by a synchrotron X-ray monochromatic beam (mono-beam) radiation. The effects of the biphase structure by the mono-beam on the 1L-MoS2 film were investigated using Raman spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra, scanning tunneling microscopy, and scanning tunneling spectroscopy, respectively. Through material characterization, we identified that the lateral sliding of S-vacancies along the S-plane in the 1L-MoS 2 is the key reason for the origin of unidirectional phase transition. The precise phase engineering triggered by the mono-beam radiation process allows the realization of field-effect transistors (FET) with 2X improvement in mobility toward a high on/off ratio (~10 8 ) and a near-ideal subthreshold swing of ~88 mV per decade. The validity of the phase engineering could be further extended for its application as a memory device, exhibiting a gate tunable conduction modulation behavior and a high resistance ratio of ~10 2 at a gate bias of 5 V with endurance of ~100 cycles. Furthermore, an artificial neural network using the synaptic weight update with accuracy of ~93 % was achieved.

Controlling Structural, Electronic, and Energy Flow Dynamics of Catalytic Processes through Tailored Nanostructures

MoS 2 (molybdenum disulfide) is a highly-versatile catalyst material for support of numerous reactions from hydrodesulfurization and denitrogenation to the focus of this renewal proposal: hydrogenation of CO/CO 2 towards (higher) alcohols. At the same time, MoS 2 is a non-toxic, environmentally-benign and rather inert material- which under ambient conditions for some time has served as a lubricant and, more recently, as next-generation electronic material. The apparent contrast between inertness and stability in ambient, and catalytic activity under reactive conditions is puzzling and calls for a synergistic theoretical and experimental investigation with the long-term objective of enabling the rational design of MoS 2 -based catalysts for alcohol-formation reactions by providing a microscopic understanding of the environmental factors that determines site activity and selectivity. Our research project seeks answers to the questions (a) what conformation does MoS 2 adopt under reaction conditions (as opposed to that under ultrahigh vacuum and low temperatures)?; (b) what reaction pathways exist on such a material?; (c) how can the local environment of the active sites be manipulated so as to make MoS 2 an efficient catalyst for production of higher alcohol from syngas? In particular, research strategies will explore how the basal plane composed of sulfur atoms can be activated so as to exhibit a reactivity of its own, by addressing three research targets and building on extensive preliminary and enabling work: (1) vacancies and vacancy aggregates on the basal plane; (2) non-local catalyst transformation through alkali doping, hydrogenation and phase transition; (3) fabrication of a metal-nanoparticle-activated MoS 2 system, in which particle anchoring, reactive sites and pathways as well as selectivity are controlled by design, as an example of predictive development of a catalyst material,. All strategies are directed to improve the efficacy of the key reactive sites and selectivity of chemical pathways by design, to replace the inefficient methodology of trial and error in catalyst development. This research project represents a synergistic combination of computational guidance, foundational surface-science-based experiments and validation under reactive conditions that aims at transformative new insights into the working of MoS 2 -based hydrogenation-catalysts, a topic squarely at the center of the interest of DOE BES. Guided and led by Talat Rahman, a computational physicist, this project will apply density functional theory to understand structure, reaction pathways and chemical potentials associated with MoS 2 -based CO/CO 2 hydrogenation, augmented by kinetic Monte Carlo methods for reaction rates and prefactors as well as ab-initio molecular dynamics for evaluation of thermal stability. Complementary experimental input and validation will originate from co-PI Ludwig Bartels, a physical chemist and materials scientist, whose group focuses on local imaging and preparation of MoS 2 materials, from co-PI Peter Dowben, an experimental physicist, whose group is expert in the spectroscopy of occupied and unoccupied electronic states, and from senior collaborator Michael White of Brookhaven National Laboratory, whose group generates high-resolution electronic and activity information on size-selected well-defined metal chalcogenide clusters. This collaborative effort will enable a comprehensive understanding of the correlation of structural integrity and catalytic activity of MoS 2 in forms ranging from extended films to individual particles with known geometries and binding sites. Alcohol formation from syngas is a rapidly emerging application that has great potential through facile, economic, and decentralized biomass gasification. CO 2 activation is one of the most pressing concerns of our time: increasing CO 2 levels in the atmosphere change the climate and expose the globe to environmental transformations with the potential for enormous economic and societal impact. We will investigate CO/CO 2 hydrogenation via an interdisciplinary research collaboration with established synergy – one that, in accordance with the mission of the DOE, involves accredited Hispanic-Serving Institutions and that, through student exchange with international collaborators and National Labs, will directly benefit a broad spectrum of communities and generate human resources in sciences essential to their future.

Accumulation-Type Ohmic van der Waals Contacts to Nearly Intrinsic WSe 2 Nanosheet-Based Channels: Implications for Field-Effect Transistors

We report the fabrication of ohmic van der Waals (vdW) contacts to nearly intrinsic WSe 2 nanosheet-based channels in field-effect transistors (FETs) using degenerately p-doped MoS2 (p + -MoS2) as a contact metal. We demonstrate that accumulation-type ohmic contacts and the high device performance are achievable without electrostatically gating the drain/source contact regions despite the nearly intrinsic nature of WSe 2 . Back-gated WSe 2 FETs with p + -MoS 2 bottom contacts (which screen the back-gate electric field in the drain/source regions) exhibit linear output characteristics, a high on/off ratio of 10 8 , and a high two-terminal field-effect mobility up to ~200 cm2 V –1 s –1 at room temperature. Our theoretical modeling reveals that the p + -MoS 2 /WSe 2 vdW junction behaves like a metal/semiconductor ohmic contact signified by a vanishingly thin space-charge region of ~1 nm on the p + -MoS 2 side and a substantial accumulation layer of free holes on the WSe 2 side, which is further verified by additional temperature-dependent and dual-gated measurements of WSe 2 FETs. We attribute the formation of accumulation-type ohmic contacts free of a Schottky barrier to the near absence of Fermi-level pinning at the vdW interface and the work function of p + -MoS 2 being larger than the ionization energy of WSe 2 . This study represents an important step toward achieving low-resistance ohmic contacts to two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors by eliminating the Fermi-level pinning effects, which is expected to have significant implications for next-generation 2D semiconductor-based nanoelectronics.

Unraveling the Mechanism of Interfacial Charge Transfer and Photoresponsivity of WS 2 Quantum Dots/MoS 2 (0D–2D) Heterostructure-Based Transistors

To assess the efficacy of a mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in modulating the optoelectronic responses of nanodevices, the charge transport properties of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructure comprising zero-dimensional (0D) WS 2 quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) MoS 2 flakes are critically analyzed. Herein, a facile strategy was materialized in developing an atomically thin phototransistor assembled from mechanically exfoliated MoS 2 and WS 2 QDs synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The amalgamated photodetectors exhibited a high responsivity of ∼8000 A/W at an incident power of 0.05 nW of white light, surpassing that of the pristine MoS 2 devices. Furthermore, the detectivity of pristine MoS 2 , which was on the order of 10 10 , increased to 10 12 Jones for the WS 2 QDs/MoS 2 heterostructure photodetector, outperforming other WS 2 -based materials. The quasiparticle band gap and density of states (DOS) are further analyzed to elucidate the photophysics of the WS 2 QD/MoS 2 hybrid assembly. The difference in the work function between MoS 2 and WS 2 QDs gives rise to an electric field across the 0D–2D interface, facilitating effective charge separation and migration and contributing to the enhancement of photoresponsivity. The analysis of optical responses using density functional theory (DFT) revealed stronger absorption and less reflection over a broader spectrum of wavelengths for the heterostructure compared to the pristine materials. The estimated optical conductivity aligns well with the experimentally predicted maximum photoresponsivity under visible light, which is attributed to the high absorbance of 2D MoS 2 . In conclusion, combining diverse spectroscopic and imaging techniques with quantum simulation provides insights that clarify the pertinence of 0D–2D TMDs in designing phototransistors.

Designing artificial two-dimensional landscapes via atomic-layer substitution

Significance Manipulating materials with atomic-scale precision is essential for the development of a next-generation material design toolbox. Tremendous efforts have been made to advance the compositional, structural, and spatial accuracy of material deposition and patterning. Here, we presented a new reaction pathway to implement the conversions of two-dimensional materials within the atomic-layer thickness at room temperature for electrical dipole manipulation. Not only could various Janus monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with vertical dipole be realized, but also some heterostructures, including the dipole-nondipole heterostructures (MoS 2 -MoSSe) and multiheterostructures (MoS 2 -MoSSe-MoSeS-MoSe 2 ) within the same monolayer host structure are developed, in which the dipoles can be selectively patterned to be zero (MoS 2 , MoSe 2 ), positive (MoSSe), and negative (MoSeS).

Lithium Storage Mechanisms and Electrochemical Behavior of a Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoparticle Anode

This study investigates the electrochemical behavior of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) as an anode in Li-ion batteries, focusing on the extra capacity phenomenon. Employing advanced characterization methods such as in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, the research unravels the complex structural and chemical evolution of MoS 2 throughout its cycling. A key discovery is the identification of a unique Li intercalation mechanism in MoS 2 , leading to the formation of reversible Li x MoS 2 phases that contribute to the extra capacity of the MoS 2 electrode. Density function theory calculations suggest the potential for overlithiation in MoS 2 , predicting Li 5 MoS 2 as the most energetically favorable phase within the lithiation–delithiation process. Additionally, the formation of a Li-rich phase on the surface of Li 4 MoS 2 is considered energetically advantageous. After the first discharge, the battery system engages in two main reactions. One involves operation as a Li-sulfur battery within the carbonate electrolyte, and the other is the reversible intercalation and deintercalation of Li in Li x MoS 2 . The latter reaction contributes to the extra capacity of the battery. The incorporation of reduced graphene oxide as a conductive additive in MoS 2 electrodes notably improves their rate capability and cycling stability.

One-step sputtering of MoSSe metastable phase as thin film and predicted thermodynamic stability by computational methods

Abstract We present the fabrication of a MoS 2−x Se x thin film from a co-sputtering process using MoS 2 and MoSe 2 commercial targets with 99.9% purity. The sputtering of the MoS 2 and MoSe 2 was carried out using a straight and low-cost magnetron radio frequency sputtering recipe to achieve a MoS 2−x Se x phase with x = 1 and sharp interface formation as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy. The sulfur and selenium atoms prefer to distribute randomly at the octahedral geometry of molybdenum inside the MoS 2−x Se x thin film, indicated by a blue shift in the A 1g and E 1 g vibrational modes at 355 cm −1 and 255 cm −1 , respectively. This work is complemented by computing the thermodynamic stability of a MoS 2−x Se x phase whereby density functional theory up to a maximum selenium concentration of 33.33 at.% in both a Janus-like and random distribution. Although the Janus-like and the random structures are in the same metastable state, the Janus-like structure is hindered by an energy barrier below selenium concentrations of 8 at.%. This research highlights the potential of transition metal dichalcogenides in mixed phases and the need for further exploration employing low-energy, large-scale methods to improve the materials’ fabrication and target latent applications of such structures.

Phase engineering of layered anode materials during ion-intercalation in Van der Waal heterostructures

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of 2D materials demonstrating promising properties, such as high capacities and cycling stabilities, making them strong candidates to replace graphitic anodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, certain TMDs, for instance, MoS 2 , undergo a phase transformation from 2H to 1T during intercalation that can affect the mobility of the intercalating ions, the anode voltage, and the reversible capacity. In contrast, select TMDs, for instance, NbS 2 and VS 2 , resist this type of phase transformation during Li-ion intercalation. This manuscript uses density functional theory simulations to investigate the phase transformation of TMD heterostructures during Li-, Na-, and K-ion intercalation. The simulations suggest that while stacking MoS 2 layers with NbS 2 layers is unable to limit this 2H → 1T transformation in MoS 2 during Li-ion intercalation, the interfaces effectively stabilize the 2H phase of MoS 2 during Na- and K-ion intercalation. However, stacking MoS 2 layers with VS 2 is able to suppress the 2H → 1T transformation of MoS 2 during the intercalation of Li, Na, and K-ions. The creation of TMD heterostructures by stacking MoS 2 with layers of non-transforming TMDs also renders theoretical capacities and electrical conductivities that are higher than that of bulk MoS 2 .

Towards Low-Temperature CVD Synthesis and Characterization of Mono- or Few-Layer Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) transistors are a promising alternative for the semiconductor industry due to their large on/off current ratio (>10 10 ), immunity to short-channel effects, and unique switching characteristics. MoS 2 has drawn considerable interest due to its intriguing electrical, optical, sensing, and catalytic properties. Monolayer MoS 2 is a semiconducting material with a direct band gap of ~1.9 eV, which can be tuned. Commercially, the aim of synthesizing a novel material is to grow high-quality samples over a large area and at a low cost. Although chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth techniques are associated with a low-cost pathway and large-area material growth, a drawback concerns meeting the high crystalline quality required for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. This research presents a lower-temperature CVD for the repeatable synthesis of large-size mono- or few-layer MoS 2 using the direct vapor phase sulfurization of MoO 3 . The samples grown on Si/SiO 2 substrates demonstrate a uniform single-crystalline quality in Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning transmission electron microscopy. These characterization techniques were targeted to confirm the uniform thickness, stoichiometry, and lattice spacing of the MoS 2 layers. The MoS 2 crystals were deposited over the entire surface of the sample substrate. With a detailed discussion of the CVD setup and an explanation of the process parameters that influence nucleation and growth, this work opens a new platform for the repeatable synthesis of highly crystalline mono- or few-layer MoS 2 suitable for optoelectronic application.

Microstructural Assessment of Molybdenum Disulfide Coatings Using Nanoindentation Hardness

MoS 2 coatings are used extensively in aerospace and defense applications due to their ultralow friction and high wear resistance. Burnished and resin-bonded MoS 2 coatings are commonly used in these applications due to simplicity in deposition and history of use, despite issues with consistency in coating properties and performance. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) of MoS 2 thin films has emerged as a process alternative in the past 50 years, promising far greater control over film structure and composition but at a greater cost. Despite PVD’s benefits, hesitance to adoption persists in high-consequence applications, not only due to increased costs but variability in resulting coating properties. These variations in properties and subsequent performance are in part due to the complexity of the PVD process and the sensitive interplay between coating process-structure-property relationships. This work aims to demystify the remaining uncertainties of the process-structure-property relationships in PVD MoS 2 . The microstructure and mechanical and tribological properties of 61 different PVD pure MoS 2 coatings are examined herein. Emphasis has been placed on developing performance-based (i.e., hardness, modulus) metrics that can assess microstructural changes (density, orientation, and crystallinity) and be utilized to accelerate process development and coating optimization. Relationships established within suggest that nanoindentation hardness can be used to infer coating performance (i.e., wear rate) and properties (i.e., density, crystalline texture, and stoichiometry). Furthermore, this work demonstrates that PVD MoS 2 coatings close to the theoretical density of MoS 2 consistently have the best tribological performance and can be reliably identified by their hardness.

Observation of an intermediate state during lithium intercalation of twisted bilayer MoS2

Abstract Lithium intercalation of MoS 2 is generally believed to introduce a phase transition from H phase (semiconducting) to T phase (metallic). However, during the intercalation process, a spatially sharp boundary is usually formed between the fully intercalated T phase MoS 2 and non-intercalated H phase MoS 2 . The intermediate state, i.e ., lightly intercalated H phase MoS 2 without a phase transition, is difficult to investigate by optical-microscope-based spectroscopy due to the narrow size. Here, we report the stabilization of the intermediate state across the whole flake of twisted bilayer MoS 2 . The twisted bilayer system allows the lithium to intercalate from the top surface and enables fast Li-ion diffusion by the reduced interlayer interaction. The E 2g Raman mode of the intermediate state shows a peak splitting behavior. Our simulation results indicate that the intermediate state is stabilized by lithium-induced symmetry breaking of the H phase MoS 2 . Our results provide an insight into the non-uniform intercalation during battery charging and discharging, and also open a new opportunity to modulate the properties of twisted 2D systems with guest species doping in the Moiré structures.

Aging studies on chemical vapor deposition and mechanically exfoliated molybdenum disulfide flakes heated in ambient air

The structural integrity of atomically thin two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is crucial for high-temperature applications, including nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. This study explores the structural stability and electrical performance, under extended thermal exposure in air, of MoS 2 flakes synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and mechanical exfoliation. The MoS 2 flakes, both CVD-grown and mechanically exfoliated, were subjected to heating at 200 °C with a relative humidity of 60(±5)% for a prolonged period and investigated with atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. This study shows that CVD-grown flakes developed noticeable cracks after prolonged heating, whereas mechanically exfoliated flakes mostly retained their structural integrity. Also, both types of flakes showed a decrease in layer thickness and lateral size over time, with mechanically exfoliated flakes exhibiting a comparatively smaller reduction in substrate coverage area. In addition, MoS 2 -based two-terminal devices were subjected to heating at 150 °C for approximately 1100 h, and their electrical characterization revealed a steady rise in current during constant voltage (5 V) conditions. This study enhances our understanding of MoS 2 stability and provides guidance for improving the reliability of MoS 2 -based devices in high-temperature electronic applications.
