초록

Quantum confinements, especially quantum in narrow wells, have been investigated because of their controllability over electrical parameters. For example, quantum dots can emit a variety of photon wavelengths even for the same material depending on their particle size. More recently, the research into two-dimensional (2D) materials has shown the availability of several quantum mechanical phenomenon confined within a sheet of materials. Starting with the gapless semimetal properties of graphene, current research has begun into the excitons and their properties within 2D materials. Even for simple 2D systems, experimental results often offer surprising results, unexpected from traditional studies. We investigated a coupled quantum well system using 2D hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) barrier as well as 2D tungsten disulfide (WS<sub>2</sub>) semiconductor arranged in stacked structures to study the various 2D to 2D interactions. We determined that for hexagonal boron nitride-tungsten disulfide (hBN/WS<sub>2</sub>) quantum well stacks, the interaction between successive wells resulted in decreasing bandgap, and the effect was pronounced even over a large distance of up to four stacks. Additionally, we observed that a single layer of isolating hBN barriers significantly reduces interlayer interaction between WS<sub>2</sub> layers, while still preserving the interwell interactions in the alternative hBN/WS<sub>2</sub> structure. The methods we used for the study of coupled quantum wells here show a method for determining the respective exciton energy levels and trion energy levels within 2D materials and 2D materials-based structures. Renormalization energy levels are the key in understanding conductive and photonic properties of stacked 2D materials.
