Abstract

We investigate the absorption capability of MoS₂/Ge nanoscale heterojunction using platinum (Pt) coated conductive atomic force microscope (c-AFM) tip. The MoS₂/Ge interface forms the proposed heterostructure of a nano diode-based ultraviolet (UV) absorber. The electrical characteristics observed at the nanoscale junction show the current response as well as the window between the illuminated and dark conditions, are larger after the insertion of the Mos2 between the nanotip and Ge substrate. This research we believe will open a new path for the miniaturization of UV filters with high sensitivity for nano solar cells.
