This work reports the temperature-dependent photoconductivity and electrical-transport in tungsten diselenide (WSe2) thin films. The electrical transport is due to the Mott s hopping mechanism at lower temperatures less than 190 K, while middle region follows the Seto s parameters and thermally activated conduction is dominated in higher temperature greater than 273 K region. A thin film of WSe2 is prepared by thermal evaporation. The transient photoconductivity measurements show a consistent…

TLDR
This study presents a heterostructure that consists of a monolayer of tungsten diselenide covered by nitrogen-doped graphene QDs (N-GQDs) and shows good environmental stability and improved photoluminescence of ML WSe2, attributed to the dominant neutral exciton emission caused by the n-doping effect.
