Abstract

An optoelectronic device includes a thin film of a transition-metal dichalcogenide, a first electrode made of a first metal directly contacting the thin film, and a second electrode made of a second metal directly contacting the thin film. The first metal is molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, tantalum, scandium, or yttrium. The second metal is platinum, nickel, palladium, gold, or cobalt. Depending on the type and doping of the transition-metal dichalcogenide, one of the first and second metals forms an electron selective layer with the transition-metal dichalcogenide and the other of the first and second metals forms a hole selective layer with the transition-metal dichalcogenide. The thin film may be a monolayer or multilayer. The transition-metal dichalcogenide may be molybdenum disulfide. The thin film may be grown via chemical vapor deposition and have an area of 0.25 cmor more.
