What are the most useful mechanical applications of two dimensional heterostructures? And what are the most efficient 2D heterostructure systems for flexible electronics?
Hi, a heterojunction is an interface that occurs between two layers or regions of dissimilar semiconductors.
There are two known methods for its preparation:
Top-down: Micromechanical Exfoliation. Simple as it seems, this technique is able to yield high-quality 2D crystal flaks, applied to many common-used 2D materials, such as graphene, MoS2, WSe2 .
Bottom-up: Chemical vapor deposition (CVD). This method is mainly used to prepare larger films with more stable quality. One of the most popular application is to adopt it for growing MoS2 uses S and MoO3 as precursors.
And used in cases such as Lasers, bipolar transistors, solar cells and field-effect transistors.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterojunction)
