Tunable phase stability and contact resistance of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides contacts with metal

|

| Nature Verified
Abstract Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides/metal (MX2/metal) based transistors have been widely studied. However, further development is hindered by the large contact resistance between MX2 and metal contact. In this paper, we demonstrated that interfacial charge transfer between MX2 and metal is the key for tuning contact resistance.

N‐Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which react with the surface of Au electrodes, have been successfully applied in pentacene transistors. With the application of NHCs, the charge‐carrier mobility of pentacene transistors increased by five times, while the contact resistance at the pentacene–Au interface was reduced by 85 %. Even after annealing the NHC–Au electrodes at 200 °C for 2 h before pentacene deposition, the charge‐carrier mobility of the pentacene transistors did not decrease.

| Royal Society of Chemistry Verified
Two-dimensional nanomaterials have attracted extensive interest and their heterostructures possess excellent electronic and optical properties suitable for various applications. Based on first-principles calculations, we investigated the structural stability and electronic properties of WS and graphene oxide (GO) heterostructures. We considered three types of GO, including epoxy only, hydroxyl only and both epoxy and hydroxyl on the GO surface.
