Fig. 2: Sensor structure and performance characteristics.

a Schematic illustration of the device architecture of PPMS employing three terminals: Drain (D), Source (S), and Control Gate (CG), where Vcg modulates the channel conductivity. b Schematic demonstration of memory mode and perception mode of PPMS. Red/blue spheres denote electrons (e−)/ holes (h+). Under illumination, positive/negative gate bias induces downward/upward band bending of MoS2, enabling carrier tunneling (indicated by black arrows) between the charge trapping layer (Se) and channel (MoS2) for memory mode. In the absence of gate bias, rapid electron-hole recombination dominates under optical excitation without carrier tunneling, defining the perception mode. c Optical image of Se nanosheets with AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) measured thicknesses (40.2 nm and 39.6 nm) marked by orange lines (scale bar: 10 μm). d PL(Photoluminescence) spectra and (e) Raman spectra of Se/h-BN/MoS2 heterostructure, where Raman peaks centered at ~237 and 140 cm−1 are attributed to the typical E1/A1 and E2 modes of t-Se37, peaks located at 383 and 408 cm−1 correspond to the in-plane (E2g) and out-of-plane (A1g) vibration mode of MoS260, and the isolated peak at 1365 cm−1 is from the high-energy phonon (E2g) of h-BN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride)61. f False-color SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) image (scale bar: 10 μm) g Cross-sectional TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) image (scale bar: 5 nm) and corresponding (h) Elemental EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) mapping of the Se/h-BN/MoS2 heterostructure (scale bar: 20 nm).
