Functionalized and oxidized silicon nanosheets: Customized design for enhanced sensitivity towards relative humidity
摘要： The use of completely oxidized two-dimensional (2D) silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) represents a novel approach for the application of 2D silicon-based materials in the nanoelectronics field. Densely stacked and highly porous oxidized SiNSs (OSiNSs) act as a sensitive layer for humidity detection. Due to the oxidation-caused porosity of the SiNSs and the possibility functionalize the 2D surface with hydrophilic groups, this hybrid material exhibits an extremely good sensitivity towards relative humidity (RH). In this work, precise tuning of the SiNSs’ sensing properties by their functionalization is demonstrated. In particular, the modification with methacrylic acid (MAA) groups, leading to SiNS-MAA, and the subsequent deposition on interdigitated electrodes double the capacitance value in the range of 20-85%RH. These values were achieved after the full oxidation of SiNS-MAA in ambient conditions. The mentioned changes in capacitance are extremely high compared to the response of the so far known common polymer humidity sensors. Contrary to that, this response is neutralized when the SiNSs are functionalized with tert-butyl acrylic acid (tBMA), a rather hydrophobic functional group. The fabricated devices show, how the specific functionalization of SiNSs serves as a reliable tool to provide sensitivity towards RH. Similar approach, based on tuning the functionality, can be applied to achieve e.g., sensor array selectivity. For this purpose, the functional groups on the surface of the nanomaterial can be further modified. Additional molecules with sensitivities towards various surrounding conditions could be attached. Furthermore, these functional molecules can be used for subsequent (bio)molecule immobilization, which can serve as sensitive molecular groups towards surrounding substrates and gases. However, one of the main challenges in sensor technology is to find a highly selective solution: a sensor system capable to differentiate among different vapor species. The described strategy can serve as an access towards new and promising solutions, which can help to face this issue in modern nanomaterials-based technology.

Demonstration of Photovoltaic Action and Enhanced Stability from a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Copper–Halide Material Incorporating Divalent Organic Groups
摘要： Commercialization of solar cells based on photoactive lead–halide perovskites is in-part limited by their toxicity and instability. In this study, new and related copper–halide hybrid organic–inorganic materials containing dicationic 1,6-hexanediammonium (+H3N-C6H12-NH3+) demonstrated superior stability to heat and moisture in comparison to the analogous material containing monocationic 1-propylammonium (C3H7-NH3+) in twice the stoichiometry. Electronic absorption spectra taken of the materials were consistent with an indirect optical bandgap of ~1.8 eV, making them well-suited for application as the photoactive layer in the top cell of a tandem solar cell with silicon. The best-performing single-junction solar cells containing the dicationic material as the photoactive layer exhibited an open-circuit photovoltage in excess of 400 mV and a short-circuit photocurrent density of ~30 μA/cm2. These values are similar to those reported for state-of-the-art copper–halide hybrid organic–inorganic materials containing organic monocations and motivate further research on this class of materials.

High-responsivity Two-dimensional p-PbI <sub/>2</sub> /n-WS <sub/>2</sub> Vertical Heterostructure Photodetectors Enhanced by Photogating Effect
摘要： Two-dimensional (2D) vertical p-n heterostructure photodetectors are significant building blocks in nanoscale integrated optoelectronics. However, the unsatisfactory photosensing performance combined with complicated fabrication process still remains a challenge. In this work, the fabrication of high performance vertical photodetectors based on vapor grown p-PbI2/n-WS2 heterostructures is reported, in which the WS2 serves as the photogate to modulate the channel current. Due to the photogating effect in the heterostructures, the recombination of photo-excited electron–hole pairs is effectively suppressed, leading to high photoresponsivity up to 5.57 × 102 A W-1, which represents the highest value among the ever reported vapor-grown vertical p-n heterostructures. Moreover, the photoresponsivity is highly tunable through the gate voltage bias, and can be further improved to 7.1 × 104 A W-1 by applying a negative gate voltage bias of -60 V. The excellent photosensing properties of the PbI2/WS2 heterostructures combined with the facile synthesis method suggest a great potential in developing high performance 2D optoelectronic devices.

Alcohol-Guided Growth of Two-Dimensional Narrow-Band Red-Emitting K2TiF6:Mn4+ for White Light-Emitting Diodes
摘要： The use of red phosphors with low light-scattering loss could improve the luminous efficacy and color rendering of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Thus, the discovery of such phosphors is highly desired. In this work, high-efficiency two-dimensional red-emitting K2TiF6:Mn4+ (KTFM) were synthesized via an alcohol-assisted coprecipitation route. The synergistic effects of 1-propanol and hydrofluoric acid (HF) on the growth of KTFM microsheets (MSs) were studied through the first-principles calculations, which revealed that 1-propanol promoted the growth of KTFM MSs by preferentially adsorbing on the H-terminated K2TiF6 (001) surface. The photoluminescence quantum efficiency (QE) of Mn4+-activated K2TiF6 MSs was highly related to their size and thickness. The morphology-optimal KTFM MSs presented high internal QE (> 90 %), external QE (> 71%), and thermal quenching temperature (102% at 150 °C relative to that at 25 °C). A prototype phosphor-converted LED with KTFM as the red-emitting component showed an excellent color rendition (Ra = 91, R9 = 79) and high luminous efficacy (LE =156 lm/w).

Assessment of Bulk and Interface Quality for Liquid Phase Crystallized Silicon on Glass
摘要： This paper reports on the electrical quality of liquid phase crystallized silicon (LPC-Si) on glass for thin-film solar cell applications. Spatially resolved methods such as light beam induced current (LBIC), microwave photoconductance decay (MWPCD) mapping, and electron backscatter diffraction were used to access the overall material quality, intra-grain quality, surface passivation, and grain boundary (GB) properties. LBIC line scans across GBs were fitted with a model to characterize the recombination behavior of GBs. According to MWPCD measurement, intra-grain bulk carrier lifetimes were estimated to be larger than 4.5 μs for n-type LPC-Si with a doping concentration in the order of 1016 cm?3. Low-angle GBs were found to be strongly recombination active and identified as highly defect-rich regions which spatially extend over a range of 40–60 μm and show a diffusion length of 0.4 μm. Based on absorber quality characterization, the influence of intra-grain quality, heterojunction interface, and GBs/dislocations on the cell performance were separately clarified based on two-dimensional (2-D)-device simulation and a diode model. High back surface recombination velocities of several 105 cm/s are needed to get the best match between simulated and measured open circuit voltage (Voc), indicating back surface passivation problem. The results showed that Voc losses are not only because of poor back surface passivation but also because of crystal defects such as GBs and dislocation.

Resonance Coupling in Heterostructures Composed of Silicon Nanosphere and Monolayer WS <sub/>2</sub> : A Magnetic-Dipole-Mediated Energy Transfer Process
摘要： Light?matter resonance coupling is a long-studied topic for both fundamental research and photonic and optoelectronic applications. Here we investigated the resonance coupling between the magnetic dipole mode of a dielectric nanosphere and 2D excitons in a monolayer semiconductor. By coating an individual silicon nanosphere with a monolayer of WS2, we theoretically demonstrated that, because of the strong energy transfer between the magnetic dipole mode of the nanosphere and the A-exciton in WS2, resonance coupling evidenced by anticrossing behavior in the scattering energy diagram was observed, with a mode splitting of 43 meV. In contrast to plexcitons, which involve plasmonic nanocavities, the resonance coupling in this all-dielectric heterostructure was insensitive to the spacing between the silicon nanosphere core and the WS2 shell. Additionally, the two split modes exhibited distinct light-scattering directionality. We further experimentally demonstrated the resonance coupling effect by depositing silicon nanospheres with different diameters onto a WS2 monolayer and collecting the scattering spectra of the resulting heterostructures under ambient conditions. We further demonstrated active control of the resonance coupling by temperature scanning. Our findings highlighted the potential of our all-dielectric heterostructure as a solid platform for studying strong light?matter interactions at the nanoscale.

Self-Patterned CsPbBr3 Nanocrystals for High-Performance Optoelectronics
摘要： All-inorganic lead halide perovskites are promising materials for many optoelectronic applications. However, two issues that arise during device fabrication hinder their practical use, namely inadequate continuity of coated inorganic perovskite films across large areas and inability to integrate these films with traditional photolithography due to poor adhesion to wafers. Herein, for the first time, to address these issues, we show a room-temperature synthesis process employed to produce CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals with two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet features. Due to the unique properties of these 2D nanocrystals, including the 'self-assembly' characteristic, and 'double solvent evaporation inducing self-patterning' strategy are used to generate high-quality patterned thin films in selected areas automatically after-drop-casting, enabling fabrication of high-performance devices without using complex and expensive fabrication processing techniques. The films are free from micro-cracks. In a proof-of-concept experiment, photodetector arrays are used to demonstrate the superior properties of such films. We provide evidence of both high responsivity (9.04 A/W) and high stability across large areas. The photodetectors fabricated on flexible substrate exhibit outstanding photo-response stability. Advanced optical and structural studies reveal the possible mechanism. Our simple and cost-effective method paves the way for the next-generation nanotechnology based on high-performance, cost-effective optoelectronic devices.

A New Family of Two-Dimensional Topological Materials: CdX (X?=?F, Cl, Br, and I)
摘要： Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal halides have attracted great interest owing to their versatile applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and renewable energy storage/conversions. Using first-principles calculations, it is proposed that a new series of 2D transition-metal halide CdX (X ? F, Cl, Br, and I) monolayers with honeycomb lattice structure show topological properties. When omitting the spin–orbital coupling (SOC) effect, all of them behave as Dirac semimetal whose Fermi surface is composed of two Dirac points at high symmetry K and K’ points in Brillouin zone. When considering the SOC effect, CdCl, CdBr, and CdI monolayers behave as topological insulators with global band gap, whereas CdF is converted from Dirac semimetal into topological metal with local band gap. The nontrivial topological properties are further proved by their nontrivial edge states. The fascinating properties of the CdX (X ? F, Cl, Br, and I) monolayers show their potential for future quantum computing and next generation of high-speed electronic devices.

Resonance Tunneling Phenomena in Two-Dimensional Multilayer van der Waals Crystalline Systems
摘要： Works, mostly experimental, concerning the most interesting features of application of the resonant tunneling spectroscopy to a new type of heterosystems, van der Waals heterostructures, have been briefly reviewed. These heterostructures appeared after the recent discovery of two-dimensional crystals, which are a new class of materials beginning with graphene. The role of the angular matching of crystal lattices of conducting graphene electrodes of van der Waals systems in carrier tunneling between them has been analyzed together with the closely related problems of satisfaction of conservation laws in tunneling transitions. Manifestations of multiparticle correlation interactions between carriers in van der Waals systems such as Wigner crystallization of electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field and Bose condensation of excitons in parallel two-dimensional electron gases have been briefly discussed.

A direct method to calculate second-order two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy in frequency-domain based on classical theory
摘要： Previous theoretical researches on the two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS), which are conducted via inef?ciently time-consuming numerical simulation, deal with only single-mode system. To overcome the limitations, we derive a classical-theory-based analytical solution which is applicable to multi-modes system. Three typical weak sources of nonlinearities are introduced. The ?ndings suggest that the analytical results correspond well with those obtained by the traditional numerical simulation. Thus the study provides a more ef?cient and practical method to directly calculate 2DTS, and, in a broader sense, sheds new light on the theory of 2DTS.
