- Abstract
The oxygen (O2)-dependent resistance change of multilayered molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) channels was characterized. A variation of the channel resistance could reproducibly determine relative O2content (denoted as the O2index). We found that Joule heating in a layered MoTe2field-effect transistor caused the O2index to decrease drastically from 100 to 12.1% in back gate modulation. Furthermore, Joule heating caused effective O2desorption from the MoTe2surface and repeatable O2detection by multilayered MoTe2channels was realized. This work not only explored the influence of O2on the electrical properties of multilayered MoTe2channels but also revealed that MoTe2channels are promising for sensing O2in an environmental condition.
