Polarization-Driven Edge-State Transport in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides

Abstract: Intrinsic polarization has been demonstrated in layered structures to reduce the energy gap. Here we demonstrate that strain-induced polarization can increase energy gap and induce a metallic-to-semiconducting phase transition in zigzag nanoribbons of single-layered transitionmetal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2. This study provides a guidance for designing quantum piezotronic devices.

“…[1,2] It has been well studied in the piezoelectric semiconductor materials, such as the third generation DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202307901 semiconductors like GaN, ZnO, and SiC, [3][4][5][6] and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS 2 , WSe 2 ). [7][8][9] Benefitting from the direct coupling of mechanical stimuli and semiconductor properties, piezotronics cannot only be used to measure strain/stress with high sensitivity but also improve the performance of electronic devices by the applied force. However, the piezoelectric coefficients of these piezoelectric semiconductors are relatively small.…”

“…The strain can be induced in the MoS 2 sheet by substrate 21 or during the CVD growth 22 . In recent years, electron, spin and valley-dependent transport properties were reported extensively in monolayer MoS 2 structures, both experimentally and theoretically 23 36 . Fontana et al 23 experimentally investigated the transport properties of the electron and hole in a gated MoS 2 Schottky barrier and found that in this structure, the source and drain electrodes’ materials are essential keys in controlling the transport through the conduction or valence band.…”
