AbstractHybrid heterojunctions based on two-dimensional (2D) and conventional three-dimensional (3D) materials provide a promising way toward nanoelectronic devices with engineered features. In this work, we investigated the band alignment of a mixed-dimensional heterojunction composed of transferred MoS2 on β-Ga2O3($$ 2- $$2-01) with and without nitridation. The conduction and valence band offsets for unnitrided 2D-MoS2/3D-β-Ga2O3 heterojunction were determined to be respectively 0.43 ± 0.1 and 2.87 ± 0.1 eV. For the nitrided heterojunction, the conduction and valence band offsets were deduced to 0.68 ± 0.1 and 2.62 ± 0.1 eV, respectively. The modified band alignment could result from the dipole formed by charge transfer across the heterojunction interface. The effect of nitridation on the band alignments between group III oxides and transition metal dichalcogenides will supply feasible technical routes for designing their heterojunction-based electronic and optoelectronic devices.

We have developed a visible-light phototransistor with excellent photodetection characteristics and stability via atomic layer deposition (ALD) to add a thin layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) to quantum dot (QD)/zinc oxide (ZnO) films.

The band alignment of Mg(OH)2-based heterostructures is investigated based on first-principles calculation. (111)-MgO/(0001)-Mg(OH)2 and (0001)-wurtzite ZnO/(0001)-Mg(OH)2 heterostructures are considered. The O 2s level energy is obtained for each O atom in the heterostructure supercell, and the band edge energies are evaluated following the procedure of the core-level spectroscopy. The calculation is based on the generalized gradient approximation with the on-site Coulomb interaction parameter U considered for Zn. For MgO/Mg(OH)2, the band alignment is of type II, and the valence band edge of MgO is higher by 1.6 eV than that of Mg(OH)2. For ZnO/Mg(OH)2, the band alignment is of type I, and the valence band edge of ZnO is higher by 0.5 eV than that of Mg(OH)2. Assuming the transitivity rule, it is expected that Mg(OH)2 can be used for certain types of heterostructure solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells to improve the performance.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used as an inorganic electron transport layer (ETL) in quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs) due to their excellent electrical properties. Here, we report the effect of ZnO NPs inorganic ETL of different particle sizes on the electrical and optical properties of QLEDs. We synthesized ZnO NPs into the size of 3 nm and 8 nm respectively and used them as an inorganic ETL of QLEDs. The particle size and crystal structure of the synthesized ZnO NPs were verified by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and X-ray pattern analysis. The device with 8 nm ZnO NPs ETL exhibited higher efficiency than the 3 nm ZnO NPs ETL device in the single hole transport layer (HTL) QLEDs. The maximum current efficiency of 19.0 cd/A was achieved in the device with 8 nm ZnO NPs layer. We obtained the maximum current efficiency of 17.5 cd/A in 3 nm ZnO NPs device by optimizing bilayer HTL and ZnO NPs ETL.
