Résumé
Hybrid van der Waals heterostructures made of 2D materials and organic molecules exploit the high sensitivity of 2D materials to all interfacial modifications and the inherent versatility of the organic compounds [1-2]. In this study, we are interested in the quinoïdal zwitterion/MoS2 hybrid system in which organic crystals are grown by epitaxy on the MoS2 surface and can reorganize in other forms after thermal annealing [3]. By means of field effect transistor measurements and atomic force microscopy, we demonstrate that the charge transfer between organic molecules and 2D materials strongly depends on the conformation of the molecular film. This work shows the great sensibility of MoS2 transistors for sensing molecular events occurring at the nanoscale providing a new experimental tool in addition to the usual microscopies and spectroscopies techniques.[1] Late, D.
