超扭曲螺旋二硫化钨的二次谐波特性

    Second harmonic generation properties of supertwisted WS2 spirals

    • 摘要: 在二维层状材料中,扭转角为调控非线性光学响应提供了新的自由度。为探究超扭曲螺旋二硫化钨(WS2)结构中扭转角对二次谐波产生(second harmonic generation, SHG)的调控机制,该研究采用水辅助化学气相沉积法,在氧化钨颗粒形成的锥形衬底上合成了超扭曲螺旋WS2。通过原子力显微镜(atomic force microscope, AFM)表征其形貌与层厚,并结合反射模式下的逐点SHG测量,系统分析了扭转角与SHG强度随层数的演化规律。结果表明,扭转角为0°的常规螺旋结构因中心反演对称性破缺,SHG强度随层数增加而显著增强;扭转角为15°和20°的超扭曲螺旋结构则表现出SHG强度随层数先增后减的特征。进一步分析表明,当层间累积扭转角小于60°时,反演对称性破缺持续存在,导致SHG信号增强;当累积扭转角达到或超过60°时,局部反演对称性恢复,SHG信号衰减。该研究阐明了衬底几何、扭转角与非线性光学响应之间的内在联系,为二维扭曲体系中对称性调控及非线性光子器件设计提供了实验依据。

       

      Abstract: In two-dimensional layered materials, the twist angle has been considered to provide a new degree of freedom for tuning nonlinear optical responses. To investigate the modulation mechanism of the twist angle on second harmonic generation (SHG) in supertwisted helical WS2 structures, supertwisted helical WS2 was synthesized on conical substrates formed by tungsten oxide particles via a water-assisted chemical vapor deposition method. The morphology and layer thickness were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the evolution of the twist angle and SHG intensity with the number of layers was systematically analyzed in combination with point-by-point SHG measurements in reflection mode. The results showed that for conventional helical structures with a twist angle of 0°, the SHG intensity was significantly enhanced with increasing layer number due to the breaking of central inversion symmetry, whereas for supertwisted helical structures with twist angles of 15° and 20°, the SHG intensity was found to first increase and then decrease with increasing layer number. Further analysis indicated that when the cumulative interlayer twist angle was less than 60°, the inversion symmetry breaking persisted, by which the SHG signal was enhanced; when the cumulative twist angle reached or exceeded 60°, the local inversion symmetry was restored, and the SHG signal was attenuated. The intrinsic relationship among substrate geometry, twist angle, and nonlinear optical response was elucidated in this study, by which an experimental basis was provided for symmetry tuning in two-dimensional twisted systems and for the design of nonlinear photonic devices.
