Kurzfassung:
Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are attractive materials for future optoelectronic applications because of their excellent electrical, optical, and quantum (spin‐valley) properties. In particular, in‐plane heterostructures based on TMDC monolayers provide opportunities to directly modulate band structures and lattice strains by the spatial distribution of constituent elements, leading to efficient control of their carrier transport and recombination. However, it is still challenging to create light‐emitting devices using such in‐plane heterostructures because of the technical difficulties associated with sample/device fabrication. This study demonstrated interfacial electroluminescence (EL) in diverse TMDC monolayer in‐plane heterostructures. Various combinations of large‐area, single‐crystalline in‐plane heterostructures with sharp interfaces are grown by chemical vapor deposition, followed by the adoption of electrolyte‐based light‐emitting devices to observe EL. The fine heterostructures enabled the capture of the linear‐shaped EL fixed along the junction interfaces. Significantly, the WS 2 /WSe 2 in‐plane heterostructures exhibited circularly polarized EL with polarizability of 10% at room temperature. This can be explained by the interfacial strain‐mediated electronic structure evolution, in which the combination of electric fields and strain‐induced valley drifts realizes selective EL from the K/K’ valley. These findings pave the way for expanding the potential of monolayer in‐plane heterostructures for use in functional optoelectronic devices.
