Strain-gated flexible optoelectronics are reported based on monolayer MoS2 . Utilizing the piezoelectric polarization created at the metal-MoS2 interface to modulate the separation/transport of photogenerated carriers, the piezophototronic effect is applied to implement atomic-layer-thick phototransistor. Coupling between piezoelectricity and photogenerated carriers may enable the development of novel optoelectronics.
Keywords: adaptive optoelectronics; monolayer MoS2; piezophototronic effect.
