Physical insights on transistors based on lateral heterostructures of monolayer and multilayer PtSe2 via Ab initio modelling of interfaces

Abstract Lateral heterostructures (LH) of monolayer-multilayer regions of the same noble transition metal dichalcogenide, such as platinum diselenide (PtSe2), are promising options for the fabrication of efficient two-dimensional field-effect transistors (FETs), by exploiting the dependence of the e...
