Strain and Interference Synergistically Modulated Optical and Electrical Properties in ReS 2 /Graphene Heterojunction Bubbles.

Two-dimensional (2D) material bubbles, as a straightforward method to induce strain, represent a potentially powerful platform for the modulation of different properties of 2D materials and the exploration of their strain-related applications. Here, we prepare ReS ₂ /graphene heterojunction bubbles (ReS ₂ /gr heterobubbles) and investigate their strain and interference synergistically modulated optical and electrical properties. We perform Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectra to verify the continuously varying strain and the microcavity induced optical interference in ReS ₂ /gr heterobubbles. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is carried out to explore the photogenerated carrier transfer behavior in both strained ReS ₂ /gr heterobubbles and ReS ₂ /gr interfaces, as well as the oscillation of surface potential caused by optical interference under illumination conditions. Moreover, the switching of in-plane crystal orientation and the modulation of optical anisotropy of ReS ₂ /gr heterobubbles are observed by azimuth-dependent reflectance difference microscopy (ADRDM), which can be attributed to the action of both strain effect and interference. Our study proves that the optical and electrical properties can be effectively modulated by the synergistical effect of strain and interference in a 2D material bubble.
