Abstract
Van der Waals (vdWs) heterojunctions composed of two dimensions (2D) materials offer great opportunities for developing multifunctional and high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices due to their unique optical and optoelectronic properties. However, most photodetectors lack sensitivity to light polarization. Notably, monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) exhibits strong valley polarization and spin polarization characteristics, leading to selective absorption of circularly polarized light. The polarization dependence of the optical response rises from its unique anisotropic in-plane crystal structure. In this study, we report the growth of MoS2 films on graphene by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Comprehensive characterization, including spectroscopic analysis, surface morphology, and surface analysis, confirms the uniformity and crystal quality of the MoS2 film on graphene. The metal–semiconductor-metal (M−S−M) structure based on MoS2/graphene exhibits sensitive circularly polarized selective absorption characteristics under circularly polarized light. This approach offers a promising route for the growth of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), facilitating their application in high-performance electronics and polarized light detection.
