Abstract

Significance: A new class of heterostructures consisting of layered transition metal dichalcogenide components can be designed and built by van der Waals (vdW) stacking of individual monolayers into functional multilayer structures. Nonetheless, the optoelectronic properties of this new type of vdW heterostructure are unknown. Here, we investigate artificial semiconductor heterostructures built from single-layer WSe 2 and MoS 2 . We observe spatially direct absorption but spatially indirect emission in this heterostructure, with strong interlayer coupling of charge carriers. The coupling at the hetero-interface can be readily tuned by inserting hexagonal BN dielectric layers into the vdW gap. The generic nature of this interlayer coupling is expected to yield a new family of semiconductor heterostructures having tunable optoelectronic properties through customized composite layers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
