    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology
    • Condensed Matter Physics

    Background:

    • Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit limited light absorption at atomic thicknesses, hindering optoelectronic device performance.
    • Weak light absorption and dark current are critical challenges for ultrathin 2D materials in optoelectronics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To enhance the optoelectronic performance of WS2/CdSe heterostructures by integrating gold nanoparticles (Au NPs).
    • To investigate the synergistic effects of plasmonic enhancement and Schottky contact formation for improved light absorption and suppressed dark current.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of WS2/CdSe heterostructures with precisely engineered van der Waals interfaces.
    • Integration of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) at the WS2/CdSe interface to create plasmonic hotspots and Schottky contacts.
    • Characterization using scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) and finite-element simulations to verify band alignment and plasmonic effects.

    Main Results:

    • Au NPs significantly boosted light absorption and photocurrent generation through localized electric field amplification via surface plasmon resonance.
    • Schottky contacts formed by Au NPs established electron depletion zones, effectively suppressing dark current.
    • Achieved a 339.9× improvement in light-to-dark current ratio and a 119.9× increase in responsivity.

    Conclusions:

    • Interfacial engineering with Au NPs is a highly effective strategy for developing high-performance 2D optoelectronic devices.
    • The synergistic plasmonic and Schottky effects offer a universal approach to overcome fundamental limitations in ultrathin optoelectronic materials.
