摘要: 二硒化钼(MoSe2)的光电响应波段与光纤通信窗口高度匹配,是构建可调谐近红外光电探测器的理想材料。利用金刚石对顶砧装置,通过原位高压X射线衍射、拉曼光谱、红外反射光谱和光电流测试,结合密度泛函理论计算,系统研究了MoSe2在高压下的结构演化和光电性能调控规律。结果表明,在0~10 GPa范围内,MoSe2维持六方2H相结构,呈各向异性压缩,c轴压缩率约为a轴压缩率的3倍,红外反射光谱显示,反射率随压力单调上升,该光谱特征反映了带隙减小的演化趋势。第一性原理计算揭示,压力诱导导带底下移,带隙从1.24 eV(0 GPa)近乎线性窄化至0.77 eV(4 GPa),光吸收能力相应提升。光电测试发现,光电流随压力先增大后消失,在0.4~3.9 GPa范围内逐步增强并于3.9 GPa达到峰值(约为常压时的2倍),4.3 GPa时因暗电流淹没信号而完全消失。理论计算与实验结果相互印证,阐明了压力调控光电性能的电子结构机制,为基于MoSe2的压致光谱调制器件开发提供了实验基础和理论支撑。Abstract: MoSe2 is a promising candidate for tunable near-infrared photodetectors owing to its band gap alignment with optical fiber communication windows. We combine diamond anvil cell techniques with density functional theory calculations to investigate pressure-induced structural evolution and optoelectronic modulation in MoSe2. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy confirm that the hexagonal 2H phase remains stable up to 10 GPa, exhibiting pronounced anisotropic compression. The c-axis compressibility is approximately three times that of the a-axis. Infrared reflectivity spectra show a monotonic increase in reflectance with pressure, indicating a bandgap narrowing trend. First-principles calculations reveal a pressure-driven downward shift of the conduction band minimum, with the band gap narrowing linearly from 1.24 eV at ambient pressure to 0.77 eV at 4 GPa and optical absorption being enhanced. Photocurrent increases progressively from 0.4 to 3.9 GPa, peaking at approximately twice the ambient value before vanishing at 4.3 GPa due to overwhelming dark current. The consistency between theoretical predictions and experimental observations elucidates the electronic origin of the pressure-tuned optoelectronic response, providing a foundation for MoSe2-based pressure-modulated spectral devices.
