The broken mirror symmetry of the two-dimensional (2D) Janus material brings novel quantum properties and various application prospects. Particularly, when stacking into heterostructure, its intrinsic dipole moments and large band...
Stacking sequence of bilayer van der Waals transition metal dichalcogenides determines their electronic and related optical excitations. When the Janus monolayer structure has been taken to construct bilayer TMDs, it would introduce another degree of freedom, the out-of-plane intrinsic dipole moment, to tune the electronic and optical properties. Here we reveal that the electronic band structures and interlayer excitons can be dramatically tuned via the stacking sequence of the bilayer MoSSe with the different intrinsic dipole orientations. Moreover, the lowest energy interlayer excitons exhibit diverse spatial extensions, and the corresponding radiative lifetimes can be tailored within the range of ∼10−8 to ∼10−2 seconds at room temperature, by means of optimizing the dipole orientation and stacking sequence, and when the dipole moment keeps the same orientation for the constituent layer, it will slower the radiative recombination. Our findings shed a light on the applications of the interlayer excitons in Janus MoSSe on optoelectronics.
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.
