Planar 2D heterojunctions between atomically thin dissimilar materials: new paradigm for multifunctional electronic devices

Abstract

A large number of atomically thin 2-D materials have become available with tunableelectronic bandgaps and chemical compositions. There have been reports of several successfulattempts to create lateral (or in-plane) heterojunctions between different isostructural 2-D systemswith different electronic properties. This research will enable design, fabrication, and integration of 2-D in-plane metal-semiconductor-insulator heterojunctions with sharp domains, and create a new paradigm for device design for a wide range of opto-electronic applications.
