Multifunctional Lateral Transition-Metal Disulfides Heterojunctions

Abstract

The intrinsic spin-dependent transport properties of two types of lateral VS2|MoS2 heterojunctions are systematically investigated using first-principles calculations, and their various nanodevices with novel properties are designed. The lateral VS2|MoS2 heterojunction diodes show a perfect rectifying effect and are promising for the applications of Schottky diodes. A large spin-polarization ratio is observed for the A-type device and pure spin-mediated current is then realized. The gate voltage significantly tunes the current and rectification ratio of their field-effect transistors (FETs). In addition, they all have sensitive photoresponse to blue light, and could be used as photodetector and photovoltaic device. Moreover, they generate the effective thermally-driven current when a temperature gratitude appears between the two terminals, suggesting them as potential thermoelectric materials. Hence, the lateral VS2|MoS2 heterojunctions show a multifunctional nature and have various potential applications in spintronics, optoelectronics, and spin caloritronics.
