AI Article Synopsis
- * By using graphene gates and other materials, we create field-effect devices that allow for the site-selective generation of SPEs in monolayer MoS through precise ion irradiation.
- * Our findings reveal that these SPEs can be turned on and off based on the charge carrier concentration, paving the way for scalable and controllable arrays of quantum light sources in MoS-based systems.
Article Abstract
We demonstrate electrostatic switching of individual, site-selectively generated matrices of single photon emitters (SPEs) in MoS van der Waals heterodevices. We contact monolayers of MoS in field-effect devices with graphene gates and hexagonal boron nitride as the dielectric and graphite as bottom gates. After the assembly of such gate-tunable heterodevices, we demonstrate how arrays of defects, that serve as quantum emitters, can be site-selectively generated in the monolayer MoS by focused helium ion irradiation. The SPEs are sensitive to the charge carrier concentration in the MoS and switch on and off similar to the neutral exciton in MoS for moderate electron doping. The demonstrated scheme is a first step for producing scalable, gate-addressable, and gate-switchable arrays of quantum light emitters in MoS heterostacks.
