Emergent multi-field interaction in a magnetic quasi-two-dimensional WSe2/SrCoO2.5/2DEG heterojunction

Abstract

WSe2-based heterostructures are extensively enhanced by dielectric and interfacial engineering for high-performance photodetector. However, it is difficult to integrate the magnetic 3D thin film on the 2D Van der Waals heterostructure. In this study, a magnetic quasi-two-dimensional p-WSe2/n-2DEG heterostructures with a inserted expitial SrCoO2.5 thin film are fabricated, and the p-n heterojunction formed via Ar+-ion-bombardment process. The fabricated device with a typical long depletion region responds to a broad spectral range from 447-808 nm within the wide temperature range of 10-300 K. Under the dark and light illumination, the magneto-optical response can be realized due to the self-charging process in the device. Furthermore, the adjustable multistate can be expected under multi-field interaction on the heretojunction, which can be controlled by the control signal as the light ON/OFF switching, bias, and magnetic field. Based on the experimental results and process simulation, it is demonstrated that the heterojunction with an optimized magnetic SrCoO2.5 design holds promise as a multimode logic gate, which can be implemented with complementary 2D/3D semiconductor design and fabrication processes.
