Abstract

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (2D-TMD) semiconductors are new class of functional materials with a great promise for optoelectronics. Despite their atomic thickness, they strongly interact with light. This allows 2D-TMDs to become suitable converters of photons into useful electric charges in heterostructures involving 2D-TMDs and metallic nano-plasmonics or semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). In this talk, I will illustrate how femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy can reveal a sub-45 fs charge transfer at a 2D/QDs heterostructure composed of tungsten disulfide monolayers (2D-WS2) and a single layer of cadmium selenide (CdSe)/zinc sulfide (ZnS) core/shell 0D-QDs. In another heterostructure involving 2D-TMDs and plasmonics, I will describe how plasmons of an array of aluminum (Al) nanoantennas are excited indirectly via energy transfer from photoexcited exciton of 2D-WS2 semiconductor. In particular, femtosecond spectroscopy measurements indicated that the lifetime of the resulting plasmon-induced hot electrons in the Al array continue as long as that of the 2D-WS2 excitons. Conversely, the presence of these excited plasmons almost triples the lifetime of the 2D-WS2 excitons from ~15 to ~44 ps. This exciton-plasmon coupling enabled by such hybrid nanostructures may open new opportunities for optoelectronic applications.

This research was conducted at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, which is a DOE Office of Science User Facility. Synthesis of the two-dimensional materials was supported by the Materials Science and Engineering Division, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, U.S. Department of Energy.
