Photoluminescence enhancement of monolayer tungsten disulfide in complicated plasmonic microstructures
2018
Abstract Two-dimensional van der Waals materials are interesting for fundamental physics exploration and device applications because of their attractive physical properties. Here, we report a strategy to realize photoluminescence (PL) enhancement of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in the visible range using a plasmonic microstructure with patterned gold nanoantennas and a metal–insulator–semiconductor–insulator–metal structure. The PL intensity was enhanced by a factor of two under Y-polarization due to the increased radiative decay rate by the surface plasmon radiation channel in the gold nanoantennas and the decreased nonradiative decay rate by suppressing exciton quenching in the SiO 2 isolation layer. The fluorescence lifetime of monolayer tungsten disulfide in this structure was shorter than that of a sample without patterned gold nanoantennas. Tailoring the light–matter interactions between two-dimensional TMDCs and plasmonic nanostructures may provide highly efficient optoelectronic devices such as TMDC-based light emitters.
