Optical gating derived from persistent photodoping is a promising technique that can control the transport behavior of two-dimensional (2D) materials through light modulation. The advantage of photoinduced doping is that the doping can be controlled precisely and spatially by tuning the light intensity and position. As most photoinduced doping methods suffer from a low doping level, persistent, strong photodoping was conducted in this study in TiO -MoS heterostructures under ultraviolet (UV) illumination, which precisely controlled the doping to a high level (1.

Encapsulation with other layered materials, such as hexagonal boron nitride, is a common practice; however, this approach often requires inextricable fabrication processes. Alternatively, it is intriguing to explore methods to control transport properties in the circumstance of no encapsulated layer.

Based on the strong light-matter interactions at the graphene/TiOx heterostructure, precisely controlled photoinduced bandgap opening of a bilayer graphene device is demonstrated.

Among the various types of photoresponses of MoS2, persistent photoconductivity (PPC) at different levels has been reported. However, a detailed study of the PPC effect and its mechanism in MoS2 is still not available, despite the importance of this effect on the photoresponse of the material.

We provide a new approach to identify the substrate influence on graphene surface. Distinguishing the substrate influences or the doping effects of charged impurities on graphene can be realized by optically probing the graphene surfaces, included the suspended and supported graphene. In this work, the line scan of Raman spectroscopy was performed across the graphene surface on the ordered square hole.

Raman spectra and surface-enhanced Raman spectra of supported and suspended monolayer graphenes were measured and analyzed systemically with different approaches. The weak Raman signals are greatly enhanced by the ability of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy which has attracted considerable interests.

We report the strain effect of suspended graphene prepared by micromechanical method. Under a fixed measurement orientation of scattered light, the position of the 2D peaks changes with incident polarization directions. This phenomenon is explained by a proposed mode in which the peak is effectively contributed by an unstrained and two uniaxial-strained sub-areas.

It is found that upon adding Au-NRs to the graphene, a significant increase in EQE is observed for both planar and Si-nanotip (Si-NT) MOS PDs. The planar Si-based MOS PDs reveal a notable photoresponse with an EQE of 49% at the peak wavelength of 530 nm under zero bias and an EQE of 66% at the peak wavelength of 600 nm under - 0.
