Piezotronics and piezo-phototronics in two-dimensional materials
摘要： This article discusses recent studies of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Two-dimensional semiconductor materials have demonstrated excellent electronic and optoelectronic properties, and these ultrathin materials are candidates for next-generation devices. Among 2D semiconductors, transition-metal dichalcogenides in particular have large in-place piezoelectricity due to the noncentrosymmetry along the armchair direction. A strong coupling of piezoelectric and semiconducting properties has been reported for Schottky contacts and p–n junctions, even in single-layer materials. Since the carrier concentration of ultrathin 2D materials can be easily modulated by external piezocharges, layered composites of ferroelectric/2D materials also show promising piezotronic and piezo-phototronic properties.

Piezotronics and piezo-phototronics with third-generation semiconductors
摘要： When uniform strain is applied to noncentrosymmetric semiconductor crystals, which are piezoelectric, static polarization charges are induced at the surface. If the applied strain is not uniform, these charges can even be created inside the crystal. The applied strain affects electronic transport and also photonic processes, and thus can be used to tune the material properties statically or dynamically. As a result, two new fields have emerged, namely piezotronics and piezo-phototronics. This article reviews the history of the two fields and gives a perspective on their applications. The articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin highlight progress in these two fields, and this article places this progress into perspective.

Theory of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics
摘要： Piezotronic and piezo-phototronic devices exhibit high performance and have potential applications especially in next-generation self-powered, flexible electronics and wearable systems. In these devices, a strain-induced piezoelectric field at a junction, contact, or interface can significantly modulate the carrier generation, recombination, and transport properties. This mechanism has been studied based on the theory of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics. Simulation-driven materials design and device improvements have been greatly propelled by the finite element method, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics for achieving high-performance devices. Dynamical piezoelectric fields can also control new quantum states in quantum materials, such as in topological insulators, which pave a new path for enhancing performance and for investigating the fundamental physics of quantum piezotronics and piezo-phototronics.
