These heterostructures exhibit unique properties that are not observed in either of the constituent components in isolation. Interlayer excitons, which are electron-hole pairs separated across the heterostructures, play a central role in determining these heterostructure properties and are of interest both fundamentally and for device applications. In recent years, a major focus has been on understanding and designing heterostructures composed of two or more TMDC materials. Less attention has been paid to heterostructures composed of one TMDC layer and a layer of perovskite material. A central challenge in the understanding of HS properties is that basic measurements such as optical spectroscopic analysis can be misinterpreted due to the complexity of the charge transfer dynamics. Addressing these aspects, this review presents an overview of the most common and insightful optical spectroscopic techniques used to study TMDC/TMDC and TMDC/halide perovskite HSs. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of these measurements in terms of charge transfer and the formation of interlayer excitons. Recent advances have started to uncover highly interesting phenomena, and with improved understanding these heterostructures offer great potential for device applications such as photodetectors and miniaturized optics.","PeriodicalId":6812,"journal":{"name":"2D Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140241503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a short timescale requires measurements with better resolution than achievable with a streak camera. Therefore, we employ an Excitation Correlation Spectroscopy (ECS) pump-probe technique. This approach allows us to identify two distinct non-radiative recombination channels attributed to lattice imperfections. The first channel is active at helium temperatures. It reduces the lifetime of the neutral exciton to below one picosecond. The second channel becomes active at elevated temperatures, further shortening the lifetimes of both neutral and charged exciton.

Some of the requirements include high temperatures, precursors, and special catalytic substrates with specific lattice parameters. Consequently, methods have been developed to transfer these materials from the growth substrates onto target substrates. These transfer techniques aim to minimize intermediate steps and minimize defects introduced into the 2D material during the process.

Here, we study high-quality single-crystals of Ni1-xZnxPS3 (0 < x < 0.2) using temperature-dependent specific heat and Raman spectroscopy probes. We show that in pristine NiPS3, the phonon mode at 176 cm-1 (P2), associated with the vibrations of Ni, exhibits a distinct Fano asymmetry. The Fano resonance is found to be particularly pronounced in the paramagnetic phase above TN, which was further confirmed by temperature dependent Raman data on the Zn-doped crystals. In the Zn-doped crystals, while the magnetism weakens following the mean-field prediction for site-dilution in a honeycomb lattice, the Fano coupling 1/q strengthens, increasing monotonically with increasing Zn-doping. The X-ray photoemission spectra suggest an increase in the weight of the d9 and d10 components in the Zn-doped crystals.

In the present study, we report a superior-performance broadband PD founded on the epitaxial SnS film. Large-area uniform SnS films were grown epitaxially on (100)-oriented KBr using magnetron sputtering technique, further exfoliated, and transferred in a wafer size to fabricated two-ends PD devices.
