Understanding of MoS2/GaN Heterojunction Diode and its Photodetection Properties

Abstract Fabrication of heterojunction between 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and gallium nitride (GaN) and its photodetection properties have been reported in the present work. Surface potential mapping at the MoS2/GaN heterojunction is done using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy to measure the conduc...
