Programmable interfacial band configuration in WS2/Bi2O2Se heterojunctions by Zhang, Hanwen, Fu, Jianhui, Carvalho, Alexandra, Poh, Eng Tuan, Chung, Jing-Yang, Feng, Minjun, Chen, Yinzhu, Wang, Bo, Shang, Qiuyu, Yang, Hengxing, Zhang, Zheng, Lim, Sharon Xiaodai, Gao, Weibo, Gradečak, Silvija, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Lu, Junpeng, He, Chunnian, Sum, Tze Chien, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Using this material combination, we further design a sophisticated band architecture incorporating both type-I (WS2 straddles Bi2O2Se, fluorescence-quenched) and type-I (Bi2SeO5 straddles WS2, fluorescence-recovered) alignments in one sample through focused laser beam (FLB). By programming the FLB trajectory, we achieve a predesigned localized fluorescence micropattern on WS2 without changing its intrinsic atomic structure. …”
