We report a surfactant-free exfoliation method of WS flakes combined with a vacuum filtration method to fabricate thin (<50 nm) WS films, that can be transferred on any arbitrary substrate. Films are composed of thin (<4 nm) single flakes, forming a large size uniform film, verified by AFM and SEM. Using statistical phonons investigation, we demonstrate structural quality and uniformity of the film sample and we provide first-order temperature coefficient χ, which shows linear dependence over 300-450 K temperature range. Electrical measurements show film sheet resistance R = 48 MΩ/Υ and also reveal two energy band gaps related to the intrinsic architecture of the thin film. Finally, we show that optical transmission/absorption is rich above the bandgap exhibiting several excitonic resonances, and nearly feature-less below the bandgap.
我们报道了一种结合真空过滤法的无表面活性剂剥离WS薄片的方法,用于制备可转移到任意衬底上的薄(<50 nm)WS薄膜。薄膜由薄(<4 nm)的单个薄片组成,形成大尺寸均匀薄膜,这通过原子力显微镜(AFM)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)得到验证。通过统计声子研究,我们证明了薄膜样品的结构质量和均匀性,并提供了一阶温度系数χ,其在300 - 450 K温度范围内呈线性依赖关系。电学测量表明薄膜的薄层电阻R = 48 MΩ/□,还揭示了与薄膜固有结构相关的两个能带隙。最后,我们表明,在带隙以上光传输/吸收丰富,表现出多个激子共振,而在带隙以下几乎没有特征。
