Abstract:
We report on the optical absorption characteristics of selectively positioned sulfur vacancies in monolayer MoS2, as observed by photovoltage and photocurrent experiments in an atomistic vertical tunneling circuit at cryogenic and room temperature. Charge carriers are resonantly photoexcited within the defect states before they tunnel through an hBN tunneling barrier to a graphene-based drain contact. Both photovoltage and photocurrent characteristics confirm the optical absorption spectrum as derived from ab initio GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation approximations. Our results reveal the potential of single-vacancy tunneling devices as atomic-scale photodiodes.
