摘要:

二维材料中的反转不对称性赋予了它们迷人的特性,例如自旋耦合谷自由度和压电性,但如果在极性衬底上生长的2D层的外延不能充分区分通常接近退化的0°和180°取向,则以反转域边界为代价。我们采用第一性原理计算,以确定一种方法,以解除这种近简并:在基板上的点缺陷成核过程中的能量之间的区别日食和交错配置。对于生长在六方氮化硼上的单层MoS 2,预测的缺陷复合物可以比常见的MoS 2点缺陷更稳定,因为它是2D异质叠层的相邻层之间共享的供体-受体对和Frenkel对。取向控制在实验中得到验证,实现了~90%的一致性,在hBN上生长的三角形MoS 2薄片的取向,如通过像差校正的扫描/透射电子显微镜所证实的。这种缺陷增强的取向外延可以提供一种通用机制来打破极性衬底上极性2D材料的0/180°取向的近简并性,从而克服单晶2D半导体的可扩展合成的长期障碍。

英文摘要:

Inversion asymmetry in two-dimensional materials grants them fascinating properties such as spin-coupled valley degrees of freedom and piezoelectricity, but at the cost of inversion domain boundaries if the epitaxy of the grown 2D layer -- on a polar substrate -- cannot adequately distinguish what are often near-degenerate 0° and 180° orientations. We employ first-principles calculations to identify a method to lift this near-degeneracy: the energetic distinction between eclipsed and staggered configurations during nucleation at a point defect in the substrate. For monolayer MoS2 grown on hexagonal boron nitride, the predicted defect complex can be more stable than common MoS2 point defects because it is both a donor-acceptor pair and a Frenkel pair shared between adjacent layers of a 2D heterostack. Orientation control is verified in experiments that achieve ~90% consistency in the orientation of as-grown triangular MoS2 flakes on hBN, as confirmed by aberration-corrected scanning/transmission electron microscopy. This defect-enhanced orientational epitaxy could provide a general mechanism to break the near-degeneracy of 0/180° orientations of polar 2D materials on polar substrates, overcoming a long-standing impediment to scalable synthesis of single-crystal 2D semiconductors.
