Summary: | This paper explores the optical properties of an exfoliated MoSe
monolayer implanted with Cr
ions, accelerated to 25 eV. Photoluminescence of the implanted MoSe
reveals an emission line from Cr-related defects that is present only under weak electron doping. Unlike band-to-band transition, the Cr-introduced emission is characterized by nonzero activation energy, long lifetimes, and weak response to the magnetic field. To rationalize the experimental results and get insights into the atomic structure of the defects, we modeled the Cr-ion irradiation process using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations followed by the electronic structure calculations of the system with defects. The experimental and theoretical results suggest that the recombination of electrons on the acceptors, which could be introduced by the Cr implantation-induced defects, with the valence band holes is the most likely origin of the low-energy emission. Our results demonstrate the potential of low-energy ion implantation as a tool to tailor the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials by doping. |
