Broadband absorption of monolayer MoS2 in visible region using a tetramerized nanorod metasurface

High-efficient broadband absorption of the monolayer MoS2 is achieved by using a tetramerized nanorod metasurface (TNM), and the average absorption of 64.5% for the monolayer MoS2 can be obtained in the visible range of 400-750 nm. The unit cell of the TNM consists four Ag nanorods with different diameters, the incident light can be selectively absorbed by the monolayer MoS2 due to the magnetic resonance associated with the individual Ag nanorod, and broadband absorption of the monolayer MoS2 is realizable due to the cooperative magnetic resonances related to the tetramerized Ag nanorods. In addition, the absorption of the monolayer MoS2 is robust to the variation of the structural parameters, and it exhibits wide-angle and polarization-independent features.

High-responsivity photodetector based on scrolling monolayer MoS2 hybridized with carbon quantum dots.

The monolayer MoS2 based photodetectors have been widely investigated, which show limited photoelectric performances due to its low light absorption and uncontrollable adsorbates. In this paper, we present a MoS2-based hybrid nanoscrolls device, in which one-dimensional nanoscrollsof MoS2 is hybridized with carbon quantum dots (CQDs). This device architecture effectively enhanced the photodetection performance. The photoresponsivity and detectivity values of MoS2/CQDs-NS photodetectors are respectively 1793 A W-1 and 5.97×1012 Jones, which are 830-fold and 268-fold higher than those of pristine MoS2 under 300 nm illumination at Vds = 5 V. This research indicates a significant progress in fabricating high-performance MoS2 photodetectors.
