Material transfer and contact optimization in MoS2 nanotube devices

While the promise of clean and defect-free $\textrm{MoS}_{2}$ nanotubes as quantum electronic devices is obvious, ranging from strong spin-orbit interaction to intrinsic superconductivity, device fabrication still poses considerable challenges. Deterministic transfer of transition metal dichalcogenide nanomaterials and transparent contacts to the nanomaterials are nowadays highly active topics of research, both with fundamental research and applications in mind. Contamination from transport agents as well as surface adsorbates and surface charges play a critical role for device performance. Many techniques have been proposed to address these topics for transition metal dichalcogenides in general. Here, we analyse their usage for the transfer based fabrication of $\textrm{MoS}_{2}$ nanotube devices. Further, we compare different contact materials in order to avoid the formation of a Schottky barrier.

Non-Destructive Low-Temperature Contacts to MoS2 Nanoribbon and Nanotube Quantum Dots

Molybdenum disulfide nanoribbons and nanotubes are quasi-1D semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interaction, a nanomaterial highly promising for quantum electronic applications. Here, it is demonstrated that a bismuth semimetal layer between the contact metal and this nanomaterial strongly improves the properties of the contacts. Two-point resistances on the order of 100k$\Omega$ are observed at room temperature. At cryogenic temperature, Coulomb blockade is visible. The resulting stability diagrams indicate a marked absence of trap states at the contacts and the corresponding disorder, compared to previous devices that use low-work-function metals as contacts. Single-level quantum transport is observed at temperatures below 100mK.
