摘要: We report on the modulation of tunneling resistance in MoS2 monolayers using a conductive atomic force microscope (AFM). The between AFM probe and bottom electrode separated by monolayer is reversibly reduced up to 4 orders magnitude, which attributed enhanced quantum when compressed tip force. Under Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouim approximation, experimental data are quantitatively explained metal-insulator-metal diode model. As an ideal medium, defect-free, nanometer-thick can serve as active layer for non-impacting nano-electro-mechanical switches.
