The dielectric environment can significantly affect the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers by modulating excitonic properties such as optical transitions and binding energies. Specifically, substrates with higher dielectric permittivity reduce exciton binding energy and the quasiparticle bandgap. Doping and the charge carrier concentration can further modify the emitted spectra by affecting the PL excitonic content. Increased doping can enhance trion formation and bandgap renormalization phenomena, leading to PL spectral shifts that depend on the semiconductor type. This study systematically investigates the substrate-induced dielectric screening, doping, and trapped charges in CVD-grown n-type 1L-WS<sub>2</sub> and p-type 1L-WSe<sub>2</sub> transferred onto CMOS-relevant SiO<sub>2</sub> and HfO<sub>2</sub> dielectrics. Our results show that p-type 1L-WSe<sub>2</sub> exhibits higher PL intensity and red-shifted trion emission on HfO<sub>2</sub>, whereas n-type 1L-WS<sub>2</sub> shows a blue-shifted, lower-intensity PL for a similar dielectric environment. The difference arises from the interplay of the semiconductor type, doping, dielectric screening, and charge carrier concentration. We demonstrate that suspending the monolayers at the nanoscale enhances PL by reducing nonradiative recombination, enabling controlled micro-PL patterning and the formation of localized emission hot spots. Our results provide valuable insights for the development of next-generation CMOS-compatible optoelectronic devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":29803,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Optical Materials","volume":"3 6","pages":"1330-1338"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12210256/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144555153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we employ a maskless, lithography-free laser writing technique to fabricate VO<sub>2</sub> patterns on vanadium (V) thin films, achieving precise spatial control of the emissivity through two different approaches.

To highlight the potential of this approach, we fabricate two thermally responsive checkerboard structures, one of which dynamically appears, while another disappears in IR imaging beyond the phase transition temperature.
