A gate-free monolayer WSe2 pn diode

Bringing together p- and n-type monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides results in the formation of atomically thin pn junctions. Here, the authors laterally manipulate carrier density to create a WSe2 pn homojunction on a supporting ferroelectric BiFeO3 substrate.
