Abstract
En 中文
Excitonic devices operate based on excitons, which can be excited by photons as well as emitting photons and serve as a medium for photon-carrier conversion. Excitonic devices are expected to combine the advantages of both the high response rate of photonic devices and the high integration of electronic devices simultaneously. However, because of the neutral feature, exciton transport is generally achieved via diffusion rather than using electric fields, and the efficient control of exciton flux directionality has always been difficult. In this work, a precisely designed one-dimensional periodic nanostructure (1DPS) is used to introduce periodic strain field along with resonant mode to the WS2 monolayer, achieving exciton oriented diffusion with a 7.6-fold exciton diffusion coefficient enhancement relative to that of intrinsic, while enhancing the excitonic emission intensity by a factor of 10 and reducing exciton saturation threshold power by 2 orders of magnitude. Based on the analysis of the density functional theory (DFT) and the finite-element method (FEM), we attribute the anisotropy of exciton diffusion to exciton funneling induced by periodic potentials, which do not require excessive potential height difference for an efficient oriented diffusion. As a result of resonant emission, the exciton diffusion is dragged into the nonlinear regime owing to the high exciton density close to saturation, which improves the exciton diffusion coefficient and diffusion anisotropy more appreciably.
