Van Der Waals Heterostructures

Abstract By first-principles calculations, we investigate the geometric stability, electronic and optical properties of the type-II PN-WSe2 and type-I PAs-WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures(vdWH). They are p-type semiconductors with indirect band gaps of 1.09 eV and 1.08 eV based on PBE functional respectively. By applying the external gate field, the PAs-WSe2 heterostructure would transform to the type-II band alignment from the type-I. With the increasing of magnitude of the electric field, two heterostructures turn into the n-type semiconductors and eventually into metal. Especially, PN/PAs-WSe2 vdWH are both high refractive index materials at low frequencies and show negative refractive index at high frequencies. Because of the steady absorption in ultraviolet region, the PAs-WSe2 heterostructure is a highly sensitive UV detector material with wide spectrum. The type-II PN-WSe2 heterostructure possesses giant and broadband absorption in the near-infrared and visible regions, and its solar power conversion efficiency of 13.8% is higher than the reported GaTe–InSe (9.1%), MoS2/p-Si (5.23%) and organic solar cells (11.7%). It does project PN-WSe2 heterostructure a potential for application in excitons-based solar cells.

Vdw Heterostructure

The electronic structure of GaSe/silicane (GaSe/SiH) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in response to a vertical electric field and strain was studied via first-principle calculations. The heterostructure had indirect band gap characteristics in the range [−1.0, −0.4] V/Å and direct band gap features in the range [−0.3, 0.2] V/Å. Furthermore, a type-II to type-I band alignment transition appeared at −0.7 and −0.3 V/Å. Additionally, the GaSe/SiH vdW heterostructure had a type-II band alignment under strain, but an indirect to direct band gap semiconductor transition occurred at −3%. These results indicated that the GaSe/SiH vdW heterostructure may have applications in novel nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.
