Few-layered HfS3 nanoribbons exhibit n-type conductivity and a large photoresponse to visible light. The photocurrent strongly depends on the polarization direction of the excitation laser due to the highly anisotropic quasi-1D crystal structure of HfS3.
We try to understand the photocurrent generated in the tailored Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanostructures which were exfoliated from bulk MoS2 powder by a simple liquid phase exfoliation followed by microwave treatment. Sonication and microwave treatment led to the formation of mostly hollow tailored MoS2 nano-rods and nano-spheres which consist of more metallic 1T phase than semiconducting 2H phase. In this paper the interaction of light with these nanostructures and the generation of photocurrent is of peer interest. Confinement of photon in the hollow nanostructures could be very promising to derive photocurrent which can have applications in various optoelectronic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
