Dynamic exciton funneling by local strain control in a monolayer semiconductor
NANO LETTERS(2020)
摘要
The ability to control excitons in semiconductors underlies numerous proposed applications, from excitonic circuits to energy transport. Two dimensional (2D) semiconductors are particularly promising for room-temperature applications due to their large exciton binding energy and enormous stretchability. Although the strain-induced static exciton flux has been observed in predetermined structures, dynamic control of exciton flux represents an outstanding challenge. Here, we introduce a method to tune the bandgap of suspended 2D semiconductors by applying a local strain gradient with a nanoscale tip. This strain allows us to locally and reversibly shift the exciton energy and to steer the exciton flux over micrometer-scale distances. We anticipate that our result not only marks an important experimental tool but will also open a broad range of new applications from information processing to energy conversion.
