Description:

(abstract)

Ferroelectric 3R-MoS2 has been shown to exhibit spontaneous polarization down to bilayer, and can sustain a strong depolarization field when sandwiched between graphene electrodes. This property gives rise to highly efficient photovoltaic-current generation without needing heterostructures or p-n junctions. In this work, we study the photovoltaic-current dynamics in 3R-MoS2 photodetectors and identify a strong thermal saturation of the photocurrent upon ultrafast laser heating. In addition, we developed a photocurrent cross-correlation technique to deconvolute the thermal saturation and charge-transfer processes, revealing the multi-component nature of the photocurrent dynamics. The fastest component approaches the limit of charge transfer dynamics at the graphene-MoS2 interface. This work demonstrates a novel method to study ultrafast photocurrent speed, and supports the use of ferroelectric van der Waals materials for future high-performance optoelectronic applications.
