Metal to Insulator Quantum-Phase Transition in Few-Layered ReS2

Abstract: In ReS 2 a layer-independent direct band-gap of 1.5 eV implies a potential for its use in optoelectronic applications. ReS 2 crystallizes in the 1T'-structure which leads to anisotropic physical properties and whose concomitant electronic structure might host a non-trivial topology. Here, we report an overall evaluation of the anisotropic Raman response and the transport properties of fewlayered ReS 2 field-effect transistors. We find that ReS 2 exfoliated on SiO 2 behaves as an n-type semiconductor with an in… Show more

“…To this end we have used the SiO 2 /Si (back) gate present in our devices to assess their quality prior to the IL gate measurements, and to compare the performance of the devices operated with the two different gates. Since ReS 2 is generally found to be n-doped [22,23,25,26] and hole transport cannot be induced using a Si/SiO 2 gate, for this comparison we focus on electron transport. Figure 1(d) shows the same comparison for the conductivity extracted from four terminal measurements, to eliminate the effect of the contact resistance and to account for the device geometry.…”

“…Therefore ReS2 exhibits semiconductor-to-metallic behaviour at high electron densities and low temperatures. [69] This is because at high densities of electrons resistivity decreases significantly. The metallic state of ReS2 is a result of second-order metal-to-insulator transition driven by electronic correlation.…”

“…The resistivity of ReS 2 and the inherent carrier mobility are both dependent on temperature and electron density . Low temperature measurements allow ReS 2 to exhibit semiconductor to metallic behavior at high electron densities, which indicates that the carrier mobility is inversely proportional to temperature. The reason is that resistivity reduces considerably under the condition of high electron densities.…”
