This study presents a comprehensive, comparative analysis of thin (8 nm) and thick (30 nm) MoTe<sub>2</sub>-based photodetectors to elucidate the impact of thickness on device performance. A few layers of MoTe<sub>2</sub> were exfoliated on a silicon dioxide (SiO<sub>2</sub>) dielectric substrate, and electrical contacts were constructed via EBL and thermal evaporation. The thin MoTe<sub>2</sub>-based device presented a maximum photoresponsivity of 1.2 A/W and detectivity of 4.32 × 10<sup>8</sup> Jones, compared to 1.0 A/W and 3.6 × 10<sup>8</sup> Jones for the thick MoTe<sub>2</sub> device at 520 nm.

Both devices demonstrated n-type behavior, with linear output curves representing decent ohmic contact amongst the MoTe<sub>2</sub> and Au/Cr electrodes. The enhanced performance of the thin MoTe<sub>2</sub> device at 520 nm is attributed to improved carrier dynamics resulting from effective electric field penetration. In comparison, the superior performance of the thick device at 1064 nm is due to sufficient absorption in the near-infrared range.

The study of multielement co-segregation in GBs is still in progress and deserves further research at the atomic scale. In this work, first-principles calculations were carried out to investigate the effect of Mg and Cu co-segregation on the energetic and mechanical properties of the Al Σ5(210) GB. The segregation tendency of Mg at the GB in the presence of Cu is characterized, indicating a preference for substitutional segregation far away from Cu atoms. Cu segregation can facilitate the segregation of Mg due to their mutual attractive energy. The GB energy results show that Mg and Cu co-segregation significantly decreases GB energy and thus enhances the stability of the Al Σ5(210) GB. First-principles tensile test calculations indicate that Cu effectively counteracts the weakening effect of Mg segregation in the GB, particularly with the high concentration of Cu segregation. The phenomenon of Cu compensating the strength of the GB is attributed to an increase of charge density and the formation of newly formed Cu-Al bonds. Conversely, Mg segregation weakens the strengthening effect of Cu on the GB, but it can increase the strength of the GB when high concentrations of Cu atoms are present in the GB. The ICOHP and Bader charge analysis exhibits that the strengthening effect of Mg is attributed to charge transfer with surrounding Al and Cu, which enhances the Cu-Al and Al-Al bonds. The results provide a further understanding of the interplay between co-segregated elements and its influence on the energetic and mechanical properties of grain boundary.</p>","PeriodicalId":18966,"journal":{"name":"Nanomaterials","volume":"14 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11597672/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142730819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
