Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the current status of theoretical and experimental progress in 2 dimensional graphene-like monolayers and few-layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Semiconducting monolayer TMDCs, due to the presence of a direct gap, significantly extend the potential of low-dimensional nanomaterials for applications in nanoelectronics and nano-optoelectronics as well as flexible nano-electronics with unprecedented possibilities to control the gap by external stimuli. Strong quantum confinement results in extremely high exciton binding energies which forms an interesting platform for both fundamental studies and device applications. Breaking of spatial inversion symmetry in monolayers results in strong spin-valley coupling potentially leading to their use in valleytronics. Starting with the basic chemistry of transition metals, the reader is introduced to the rich field of transition metal dichalcogenides. After a chapter on three dimensional crystals and a description of top-down and bottom-up fabrication methods of few-layer and single layer structures, the fascinating world of two-dimensional TMDCs structures is presented with their unique atomic, electronic, and magnetic properties. The book covers in detail particular features associated with decreased dimensionality such as stability and phase-transitions in monolayers, the appearance of a direct gap, large binding energy of 2D excitons and trions and their dynamics, Raman scattering associated with decreased dimensionality, extraordinarily strong light-matter interaction, layer-dependent photoluminescence properties, new physics associated with the destruction of the spatial inversion symmetry of the bulk phase, spin-orbit and spin-valley couplings. The book concludes with chapters on engineered heterostructures and device applications such as a monolayer MoS2 transistor. Considering the explosive interest in physics and applications of two-dimensional materials, this book is a valuable source of information for material scientists and engineers working in the field as well as for the graduate students majoring in materials science.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are the subject of intense research interest as platforms for both developing atomically-thin devices and exploring novel physics. Nanoribbons are intriguing, reduced forms of 2D layered materials. They exhibit more spatial confinement effects and rich edge states than their 2D counterparts, which can result in drastic changes in electronic and optical properties. This dissertation presents an investigation of the electronic structure properties of bent TMDs nanoribbons using density functional theory (DFT) and explores their optical absorption and excitonic states through many-body perturbation GW and BSE (Bethe-Salpeter equation) methods.The band structures, band gaps, and projected spin polarization of semiconducting armchair tungsten diselenide (WSe2) nanoribbons are calculated under various bending curvatures and electron/hole doping using density functional approximations (DFAs). Additionally, optical absorption and excitonic states are analyzed using the many-body perturbation GW-BSE approach. The findings reveal that the band gap of the nanoribbon can be modified from direct to indirect or vice versa under appropriate bending curvatures. Furthermore, doping or bending the nanoribbons with proper curvatures leads to spin polarization anisotropy within the bands around the Fermi level. This suggests their potential utilization in compact and controllable magnetic nanodevices and spintronics. The exciton states exhibit mixed or various spin configurations in the electron and hole pairs, which are controlled by the bending, and hold promise for applications in spin-based quantum information processes. Defects are commonly present in 2D TMD materials and significantly alter their properties. The interaction between edge states and defect states in tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanoribbons with line defects under different bending curvatures is investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The results are compared with quasiparticle GW calculations to gain insights into the limitations of DFAs for band gaps and energies of defect states. The investigations uncover interesting semiconducting-to-metallic phase transitions, indicating potential applications in nano-electronics or molecular electronics. Moreover, optical absorption of the bent and defective nanoribbons is calculated using the many-body GW-BSE approach, revealing a tunable optical spectrum and diverse exciton states in the defective WS2 nanoribbons.

This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the study of the optical response of new atomically thin two-dimensional crystals, principally the family of transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS2. One central theme of the thesis is the precise treatment of the linear and second-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides. In addition to their significant scientific interest as fundamental material responses, these studies provide essential knowledge and convenient characterization tools for the application of these 2D materials in opto-electronic devices. Another important theme of the thesis is the valley physics of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides. It is shown that the degeneracy in the valley degree of freedom can be lifted and a valley polarization can be created using a magnetic field, which breaks time reversal symmetry in these materials. These findings enhance our basic understanding of the valley electronic states and open up new opportunities for valleytronic applications using two-dimensional materials.

Download or read book Crystallization of Two dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides for Tailored Optical Properties written by Rachel H. Rai and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are new materials that exhibit unique and useful combinations of physical properties, such as photoluminescence (PL) in the visible to NIR frequencies coupled with mechanical flexibility. Such properties make 2D TMDs attractive candidates for the next generation of compact, unobtrusive, and low-cost opto-electronic technologies. However, the incorporation of 2D TMDs in commercial applications and products is currently limited by the absence of synthesis approaches yielding uniform, large area films with desired properties. Thus, this work encompasses innovative techniques to tailor optical properties of TMD thin films by controlling their area, thickness, grain size, defect density and uniformity during and after processing. These new approaches start with magnetron sputtering of ultra-thin amorphous TMD films on either flexible or rigid substrates. The amorphous precursor films were then subjected to illumination with energy beams to induce crystallization, including laser light, broadband radiation from a xenon lamp, and nanoscale electron beams. Magnetron sputtering was selected as the precursor deposition technique due to the large area capability coupled with low processing temperatures, allowing deposition directly on polymer substrates. Furthermore, modulation of the energy flux to the growing film during magnetron sputtering (by controlling the flux of incident energetic particles) provided an opportunity to control the density of pre-existing nuclei in the amorphous material for an added measure of structural control upon illumination. The structure, composition and optical properties of crystalline 2D TMD materials on flexible and rigid substrates after illumination, were then correlated to the pre-existing amorphous structure and process conditions for selected TMD compositions. Important conclusions from the work include significant insight on the mechanisms of crystallization kinetics, as well as new correlations of structure to optical properties, including a dependence on photoluminescence intensity accompanied by a change in crystal edge density, correlating well to theory. In summary, this work employs various crystallization techniques to understand nucleation and growth of 2D TMD materials, and application of nucleation and growth mechanisms to control optical properties.

Abstract: Atomically thin group-VI transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) has been emerging as a family of intrinsic 2-dimensional (2D) crystals with a sizeable bandgap in the visible and near infrared range, satisfying numerous requirements for ultimate electronics and optoelectronics. This intrinsic 2D crystal also provides a perfect platform for physics study in 2D semiconductors. The characteristic inversion symmetry breaking presented in monolayer TMDCs leads to non-zero but contrasting Berry curvatures and orbital magnetic moments at K/K' valleys located at the corners of the first Brillouin zone. These features provide an opportunity to manipulate electrons' additional internal degrees of freedom, namely the valley degree of freedom, making monolayer TMDC a promising candidate for the conceptual valleytronics. Besides, the strong spin-orbit interactions and the subsequent spin-valley coupling demonstrated in 2D TMDCs open potential new routes towards quantum manipulation. In this thesis, I give a brief review on the background and our progress of the physics study in 2D TMDCs (MoS2, WS2) via optical spectroscopy. Particularly, our experimental approach on the excitonic effect, valley dependent circular dichroism, and the spin-valley coupling in monolayer and bilayer TMDCs are elaborated in individual chapters.
