Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), as emerging optoelectronic materials, necessitate the establishment of an experimentally viable system to study their interaction with light. In this study, we propose and analyze a WS
Abstract Following the rapid development of information technology, modern polarized light, which is a critical component for display and data transmission, has been in demand for miniaturization and high efficiency, rendering two‐dimensional (2D) semiconductors potential candidates. The traditional polarized light is usually generated by external optical structures or polarizers that influence the scaling and bring up losses. Previous works have reported polarized light emission from inversion‐asymmetric 2D semiconductors such as black phosphorus (BP), black arsenide phosphorus (AsP), and rhenium disulfide (ReS 2 ), however, their emission wavelengths are not in the visible range. Here, a direct emission of linearly polarized light is demonstrated from van der Waals light–emitting diodes (vdWLEDs) via the flexoelectric effects by inducing the non‐uniform strain in monolayer (ML) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). In this work, the effects of strain including excitonic binding energy and exciton dipole moment distribution is analyzed by the density functional theory (DFT) then we show that linearly polarized photoluminescence (PL) with a degree of linear polarization (DOLP) of ≈17% can be realized at room temperature (RT), and the polarization angle is perpendicular to the direction of the strain‐gradient. By incorporating the strained ML TMDCs into vdWLEDs, electroluminescence (EL) with DOLP of ≈19% can be observed at RT. This work puts forward a direct and universal strategy for fabricating polarized LEDs based on inversion‐symmetric semiconductors.

The realization of room-temperature-operated, high-performance, miniaturized, low-power-consumption and Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible mid-infrared photodetectors is highly desirable for next-generation optoelectronic applications, but has thus far remained an outstanding challenge using conventional materials. Two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures provide an alternative path toward this goal, yet despite continued efforts, their performance has not matched that of low-temperature HgCdTe photodetectors. Here, we push the detectivity and response speed of a 2D heterostructure-based mid-infrared photodetector to be comparable to, and even superior to, commercial cooled HgCdTe photodetectors by utilizing a vertical transport channel (graphene/black phosphorus/molybdenum disulfide/graphene). The minimized carrier transit path of tens of nanometers facilitates efficient and fast carrier transport, leading to significantly improved performance, with a mid-infrared detectivity reaching 2.38 × 1011 cmHz1/2W−1 (approaching the theoretical limit), a fast response time of 10.4 ns at 1550 nm, and an ultrabroadband detection range spanning from the ultraviolet to mid-infrared wavelengths. Our study provides design guidelines for next-generation high-performance room-temperature-operated mid-infrared photodetectors. Here, the authors report the realization of room-temperature broadband mid-infrared detectors based on a van der Waals heterostructure with a vertical transport channel, exhibiting specific detectivity and response times comparable or superior to those of commercial cooled HgCdTe photodetectors.
