Seamless in two dimensions: prospects of lateral heterostructures from integration to quantum devices

Lateral heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides feature atomically sharp, covalently stitched 1D interfaces that enable direct band-to-band coupling. This perspective highlights their unique ability to control quasiparticles, excitons, and spins, with implications for optoelectronics, excitonic and valleytronic devices, tunneling field-effect transistors, neuromorphic computing, spintronics, and quantum circuits. It also outlines challenges in scalable synthesis, interface engineering, and 2D–3D integration, charting paths toward future quantum technologies.

Abstract

Lateral heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides feature atomically sharp, covalently stitched 1D interfaces that enable direct band-to-band coupling. This perspective highlights their unique ability to control quasiparticles, excitons, and spins, with implications for optoelectronics, excitonic and valleytronic devices, tunneling field-effect transistors, neuromorphic computing, spintronics, and quantum circuits. It also outlines challenges in scalable synthesis, interface engineering, and 2D–3D integration, charting paths toward future quantum technologies.
