Abstract

Doping can change the band structure of semiconductors, thereby affecting their electrical, optical, and magnetic properties. In this study, we describe the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) Se-doped Cr2S3 (Se-Cr2S3) nanosheets using the chemical vapor deposition method. In these semiconductor nanosheets, the Se doping concentration can be controlled by tuning the Se/S mass ratio in the precursor. At the doping concentrations of 10.05% and 2.05%, the room temperature conductivity and mobility were increased by nearly 4 and 2 orders of magnitude, respectively. In addition, the response time of an ultrathin Se-Cr2S3 photo-detector was 200 times shorter than that of an undoped Cr2S3 nanosheet photodetector. 4.07%-Se-Cr2S3 nanosheets show ferrimagnetic behavior with a Curie temperature of ∼200 K, which is 80 K higher than that of undoped Cr2S3 nanosheets. A density functional theory calculation indicated that the Se doping can induce the formation of intercalated Cr vacancies in Se-Cr2S3 and enhance its metallic characteristics. Our results demonstrated that Se-Cr2S3 has significant potential in future electronic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices.
