主 题:chemical vapor deposition plasma pretreatment van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures moirésuperlattice
摘 要:Vertical van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures composed of two-dimensional(2D)layered materials have recently attracted substantial interests due to their unique ***,the direct synthesis of moirésuperlattice remains a great challenge due to the difficulties in heterogeneous nucleation on smooth vdW ***,we report a controllable chemical vapor deposition growth of complete monolayer WS_(2)on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite(HOPG)substrates through the plasma *** results show that the morphologies of the grown WS_(2)have a strong dependence on the plasma parameters,including gas composition,source power,and treatment *** is found that the surface C–C bonds are broken in the plasma pretreated HOPG,and the formed small clusters can act as the nucleation sites for the subsequent growth of WS_(2).Moreover,the height of clusters dominates the growth mode of WS_(2)islands.A transition from a 2D mode to three-dimensional(3D)growth mode occurs when the height is higher than the interlayer spacing of the ***,diverse moirésuperlattices with different twist angles for WS_(2)/HOPG heterostructures are observed,and the formation mechanism is further analyzed by firstprinciples calculations.
