Multi-layered TMDC heterostructures and their electronic properties.

Caption

(a) Scanning transmission electron microscopy picture of a multi-layered junction between tungsten diselenide and molybdenum disulfide. (b) Schematic of the circuit used to characterize the multi-layered p-n junction between niobium doped and undoped molybdenum disulfide. (c) Schematic of energy levels of conduction band minimum (Ec) and valence band maximum (Ev) across the junction. The Fermi level (EF) indicates the level to which electrons fill the energy levels at zero temperature. When a gate voltage is applied, electrons in the conductance band can tunnel across the interface. (d) Current-voltage curves as a function of gate voltage. The NDR trend can be clearly seen at higher gate voltages.
