Probing Carrier Dynamics in Large-Scale MBE-Grown PtSe Films by Terahertz Spectroscopy.

Atomically thin platinum diselenide (PtSe) films are promising for applications in the fields of electronics, spintronics, and photodetectors owing to their tunable electronic structure and high carrier mobility. Using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy techniques, we investigated the layer-dependent semiconducting-to-metallic phase transition and associated intrinsic carrier dynamics in large-scale PtSe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The uniformity of large-scale PtSe films was characterized by spatially and frequency-resolved THz-based sheet conductivity mapping.
