Abstract

Controlling the localization of mobile charges in solids enables the discovery of correlated physical phenomena, but applying it for the development of next-generation electronics requires achieving such control under practical conditions. In this study, we report room-temperature, switchable charge localization in high-quality bilayer transistors that comprise a monolayer of molecular crystal on top of a monolayer semiconductor. By using an ion gate, we selectively populated either localized molecular states or semiconductor band states, achieving complete localization from mobile charges at densities up to 3 × 10¹³ per square centimeter. This transition was energetically stabilized by the formation of coupled electron-ion dipoles, which could be tuned through Coulomb engineering. These properties further enabled single-band ambipolar transistor operation without substitutional dopants, demonstrating the potential of electron-ion correlations for practical electronic applications.

离子耦合双层晶体管的室温电荷局域化

控制固体中移动电荷的定位可以发现相关的物理现象，但将其应用于下一代电子产品的开发需要在实际条件下实现这种控制。在这项研究中，我们报告了在高质量的双层晶体管中室温、可切换电荷的定位，这种晶体管包括单层分子晶体在单层半导体上的单层。通过使用离子门，我们选择性地填充局部分子态或半导体带态，实现了密度高达3 × 10 13 /平方厘米的移动电荷的完全定位。这种跃迁通过形成耦合的电子-离子偶极子而在能量上稳定下来，这可以通过库仑工程来调谐。这些特性进一步使单波段双极性晶体管在没有替代掺杂剂的情况下工作，证明了电子-离子相关性在实际电子应用中的潜力。

期刊介绍： Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research. Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated. Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
