主 题 Top-down Fabrication into Sub-nanometre Scale in Low-dimensional Systems
报告人 郭万林，南京航空航天大学教授，国家杰出青年基金获得者，长江学者特聘教授
To fabricate functional devices with smaller feature structures in controllable way is always the driven force for our modern industry. The development in industry technologies is propelling the dimension of devices down to 10-nanometers, but facing great challenges in manufacture at sub-10-nanometer scale. Nanotechnology can fabricate nanoribbons from two-dimensional atomic crystals such as graphene well ranged into sub-10-nanometers, but their geometries and properties become hard to control 1 . Here we analyze the recent breakthrough of top-down technology for fabrication of molybdenum-sulfide ribbons with uniform sub-nanometer width simply by electron irradiation from mechanically exfoliated molybdenum disulfide (MoS
2
) layer 2 . This work opened a window to a novel top-down route for controllable fabrication of sub-nanometre building blocks for functional devices, proposing an effective strategy to avoid the limitation of lithography resolution. An important novel conception revealed here is that spontaneous phase transition of the irradiated material at sub-nanometre scale is essential for the breakthrough, showing the importance of intrinsic coupling between top-down and bottom-up process. Similar process for creating sub-nanometre wires in other two-dimensional materials will be predicted in this report and new evidences will be introduced.
Two-dimensional materials themselves can be obtained through either top-down or bottom-up methodology 3 , and can bring the exceptional properties at one atomic layer thickness into our macro-world, promising plenty of rooms for technology revolution. For example, we recently found that drawing a droplet over monolayer graphene can induce electric potential, the so called drawing potential 4 , waving seawater across graphene can generate more electricity 5 . These novel electrokinetic phenomena are found to be unique to graphene like nanofilms, open route for novel functional devices and energy harvesting 6 .
I would also like to share our understanding and experience in the past tens years about graphene related low-dimensional materials, such as h-BN, MoS2 and other new 2D materials will be introduced with our theoretical and experimental experiences being share, the concurrent challenges in nanotechnology being discussed.
