摘要
Quantum-confined Stark effects(QCSEs),where external or built-in electric fields modify optical transition energies,have garnered significant interest due to their potential for tuning emission energies to couple with quantum dots,metasurfaces,cavities,etc.However,only external electric-field-enabled QCSEs in 2D semiconductors have been reported so far,owing to the challenges posed by small and uncontrollable built-in electric fields,as well as charge modulation effects.We report the first observation of giant built-in electric field-enabled QCSEs in 1L WSe_(2)/1L graphene heterostructure(HS)with an air-gap structure that suppresses graphene screening and bandgap renormalization.Electrical control of QCSEs demonstrates a maximum Stark shift of∼56.97 meV.This significant shift is attributed to enhanced built-in electric fields resulting from the doping-induced increase of chemical potential difference.While increasing optical doping or reducing the interlayer distance,QCSEs weaken due to reduced built-in electric fields.By leveraging efficient exciton dissociations from built-in electric fields,the responsivity(R)and response speed of HS photodetectors increase by 3 orders of magnitude and threefold,respectively,compared with 1L WSe_(2).Our results offer a new avenue for enhancing exciton tunability and exploring device applications of 2D materials in photodetectors,polariton transistors,and quantum light sources.
