Ultrafast hot carrier transfer in WS2/graphene large area heterostructures

Chiara Trovatello et al.

Summary: Charge transfer processes in 2D van der Waals heterostructures enable upconversion of low energy photons and efficient extraction of charge carriers. In this study, the dynamics of charge transfer in large-area 2D heterostructures made of epitaxial WS2 grown on graphene were investigated using ultrafast optical spectroscopy. The results showed that selective carrier photoexcitation in graphene resulted in an almost instantaneous bleaching of the WS2 excitonic peaks in the visible range, indicating interlayer charge transfer. The transfer of hot carriers generated in graphene to the semiconducting layer was found to occur within a sub-20-fs timescale. The findings have both fundamental and technological importance for the development of novel 2D photodetectors.

Modeling Auger Processes with Nonadiabatic Molecular Dynamics

Guoqing Zhou et al.

Summary: Auger-type energy exchange is crucial in nanomaterials due to strong carrier-carrier interactions. A new ab initio technique was developed to accurately model Auger scattering with nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, describing charge-charge and charge-phonon scattering in a nonperturbative manner. This technique successfully reproduced experimental processes, providing detailed insights into carrier dynamics in nanomaterials with strong carrier-carrier interactions.

Long-lived charge separation following pump-wavelength-dependent ultrafast charge transfer in graphene/WS2 heterostructures

Shuai Fu et al.

Summary: Through studying the photoconductivity and transient absorption dynamics in graphene-WS2 heterostructures, it was found that separated charges in the heterostructure following charge transfer have an extremely long lifetime, which is crucial for optimizing the performance of optoelectronic devices. Additionally, the charge transfer process across graphene-WS2 interfaces was identified to occur via different mechanisms for sub-A-exciton and above-A-exciton excitations, providing insights for further device optimization, particularly in photodetection applications.

Electric Field Tunable Ultrafast Interlayer Charge Transfer in Graphene/WS2 Heterostructure

Yuxiang Liu et al.

Summary: In Van der Waals heterostructures of two-dimensional materials, photo-induced charge transfer from graphene to WS2 is found to be faster for holes than electrons. Interlayer charge transfer is correlated with the vibrational modes of graphene and WS2, and carrier dynamics can be modulated by external electric fields. The transfer rate at the heterointerface is governed by the coupling between donor and acceptor states, influenced by interlayer and intralayer relaxation processes.

Twist-Angle-Dependent Ultrafast Charge Transfer in MoS2-Graphene van der Waals Heterostructures

Duan Luo et al.

Summary: The study utilized ultrafast electron diffraction to simultaneously visualize charge transfer and electron-phonon coupling in MoS2-graphene heterostructures. It was found that the timescale of charge transfer and relaxation varies significantly with twist angle, indicating that twist angle can serve as an additional tuning knob for interlayer charge transfer in heterobilayers. The research deepened the understanding of fundamental photophysical processes in heterostructures, which is important for future applications in optoelectronics and light harvesting.

Moire excitons in defective van der Waals heterostructures

Hongli Guo et al.

Summary: Excitons in van der Waals heterostructures can be trapped by both moire and defect potentials, with their interplay modulating optoelectronic properties. The competition and cooperation of these two potentials can be controlled by vertical electric fields, offering the possibility to tune exciton localization. Additionally, defect engineering can further tailor the interplay of these potentials to create one-dimensional exciton lattices with tunable orientations, showing promise for on-demand optoelectronic responses.
