Abstract:In
contrast with substitutional doping, van der Waals doping is
essential in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors to avoid carrier
scattering. Here, we take the WS2/CrOCl heterostructure
(HS) as an example to investigate tunable van der Waals doping by
uniaxial strain engineering. Because of different work functions,
electrons transfer to CrOCl from WS2, leading to electrostatic
doping of WS2 and a built-in electric field from WS2 to CrOCl. Photoexcited electrons also transfer from WS2 to CrOCl but are hindered… Show more
