Mapping the Energy Landscape from a Nanocrystal-Based Field Effect Transistor under Operation Using Nanobeam Photoemission Spectroscopy

Mariarosa Cavallo et al.

Summary: As nanocrystal-based optoelectronics advances, there is a need for advanced techniques to reveal the electronic structure of nanocrystals, especially under device-relevant conditions. Previous efforts have mainly focused on optical spectroscopy and electrochemistry, which require an absolute energy reference. In this study, we explored the use of photoemission microscopy as a strategy for investigating nanocrystal-based devices in real-time. The method was found to be applicable to different materials and device geometries, providing direct access to important information such as metal-semiconductor interface band bending and gate effect propagation distance.

Yao Fu et al.

Summary: Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have the advantages of low-cost, large-area processing and could be utilized in a variety of emerging applications. This study introduced oxygen (O-2) into the nanointerface between the electrodes and organic semiconductor layer, lowering the barrier and effectively reducing the contact resistance (R (c)). The results demonstrated the possibility of constructing high-performance OFETs with ultralow R (c) and high mobility.

Ohmic contacts in MXene/MoSi2N4 heterojunctions

Xiang Zhang et al.

Summary: By using first-principles quantum transport simulations, the difference between the intrinsic band edges of pristine MoSi2N4 and the work function of pristine MXenes is found to play a major role in the Schottky barrier heights of vertical contacts. Phase diagrams of Schottky barrier heights dependent on metal work function are established, facilitating the screening of Ohmic contacts. Nine MXene/MoSi2N4 heterojunctions are selected as demos, showing the potential of fabricating coherent dopant-free all-2D devices based on MXene/MoSi2N4 contacts and delivering a general strategy for fast screening efficient Ohmic contacts.

Two-Dimensional Metal/Semiconductor Contact in a Janus MoSH/MoSi2N4 van der Waals Heterostructure

Chuong Nguyen et al.

Summary: We have successfully synthesized single-layer metallic Janus MoSH and semiconducting MoSi2N4 and investigated their electronic and interfacial features. The metal/semiconductor MoSH/MoSi2N4 contact forms a p-type Schottky contact with a small Schottky barrier. Furthermore, we found that the electronic structure and interfacial features of the MoSH/MoSi2N4 vdW heterostructure can be tuned under strain and electric fields.

Summary: The study reveals that single-layer TaSe2 can form symmetric and asymmetric Janus structures through surface functionalization such as hydrogenation and fluorination, exhibiting semiconductor or metallic properties. Under uniaxial strains, the properties of single-layer TaSe2 remain robust, while the Janus structure shows enhanced piezoelectricity. This suggests that TaSe2 can serve as a suitable host material with rich possibilities for surface functionalization and unique electronic properties.
