Abstract
In the last few years, interest in monomolecular layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has been driven by their unusual electronic and optical properties, which are very attractive for designing functional elements of new generation nanoelectronics. Recently, experimental evidence has appeared for the formation of a high-temperature strongly bound electron-hole liquid (EHL) in TMD monolayers. Strong binding of charge carriers is due to a significant decrease in the screening of the Coulomb interaction in monolayer heterostructures. In this work, the gas--liquid phase transition in a system of electrons and holes in quasi-two-dimensional heterostructures based on TMDs is considered and the critical parameters of such a transition are calculated. The metal-insulator transition is described and the phase diagram for such heterostructures is constructed.
