Abstract

Two-dimensional heterostructures have been crucial in advancing optoelectronic devices utilizing van der Waals materials. Semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers, known for their unique optical properties, offer extensive possibilities for light-emitting devices. Recently, a memory-driven optical device, termed a Mem-emitter, was proposed by using these monolayers atop dielectric substrates. The successful realization of such devices heavily depends on the selection of the optimal substrate. Here, we report a pronounced memory effect in a MoSe2/clinochlore device, evidenced by an electric hysteresis in the intensity and energy of MoSe2 monolayer emissions. This demonstrates both population- and transition-rate-driven Mem-emitter abilities. Our theoretical approach correlates these memory effects with internal state variables of the substrate, emphasizing that a clinochlore-layered structure is crucial for a robust and rich memory response. This work introduces a novel two-dimensional device with promising applications in memory functionalities, highlighting the importance of alternate insulators in the fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures.
