Exploring Cathodoluminescence Evident Features Of Tungsten Disulfide, Molybdenum Disulfide, And Tungsten-Sulfide-Selenide, Nathan Mayer

Undergraduate Theses

Cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy can be used to characterize the quantum optical behaviors of two-dimensional nanostructures. To investigate this behavior, we mounted flakes of tungsten disulfide (WS2), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), and tungsten-sulfide-selenide Janus structures (WSSe) on a SiO2 substrate and analyzed these samples under both high vacuum and low H2O vacuum conditions using a scanning electron microscope. We then captured CL and secondary-electron images of the samples at multiple electron-beam energies and currents (5 keV to 30 keV, and 0.5 nA to 5 nA, respectively). We used a range of beam currents and …
