Layered transition metal dichalcogenides: promising near-lattice-matched substrates for GaN growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most III-nitride semiconductors are grown on non-lattice-matched substrates like sapphire or silicon due to the extreme difficulty of obtaining a native GaN substrate. We show that several layered transition-metal dichalcogenides are closely lattice-matched to GaN and report the growth of GaN on a range of such layered materials. We report detailed studies of the growth of GaN on mechanically-exfoliated flakes WS2 and MoS2 by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy. Structural and optical characterization show that strain-free, single-crystal islands of GaN are obtained on the underlying chalcogenide flakes. We obtain strong near-band-edge emission from these layers, and analyse their temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties. We also report a proof-of-concept demonstration of large-area growth of GaN on CVD MoS2. Our results show that the transition-metal dichalcogenides can serve as novel near-lattice-matched substrates for nitride growth.

متن کاملAtomic lattice disorder in charge-density-wave phases of exfoliated dichalcogenides (1T-TaS2).
Charge-density waves (CDWs) and their concomitant periodic lattice distortions (PLDs) govern the electronic properties in several layered transition-metal dichalcogenides. In particular, 1T-TaS2 undergoes a metal-to-insulator phase transition as the PLD becomes commensurate with the crystal lattice. Here we directly image PLDs of the nearly commensurate (NC) and commensurate (C) phases in thin,...
متن کاملStructure and Optical Properties of Some Layered Two-Dimensional Transition- Metal Dichalcogenides: Molybdenum Disulfide, Molybdenum Diselenide, and Tungsten Diselenide
This paper presents a systematic study of intrinsic characteristics of layered two-dimensional transitionmetal dichalcogenides, with a focus on molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum diselenide, and tungsten diselenide. Recent advances in high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) have made atomic-resolution imaging possible, thus enabling one to closely examine real and reciprocal spac...
متن کاملCd Nuclear Quadrupole Interaction in CdCl 2 and its Monohydrate
The nuclear quadrupole interaction (NQI) in layered transition metal dichalcogenides usually decreases linearly with increasing temperature [1]. This behaviour was attributed to anisotropic lattice vibrations and is the two-dimensional analog of the Tpower law in three dimensions [2], In order to investigate the origin of this linear power law further we choose another layered compound, namely ...
