From: Bandgap engineering of two-dimensional semiconductor materials

a Bandgap tuning in uniaxially207 (top) and biaxially (bottom)212 strained monolayer MoS2. b Superlattice built by introducing a local and periodic strain in a monolayer MoS2 by patterning nanocones in the substrates221. c Exciton funneling and inverse funneling effect in 2D semiconductors201. The bottom panels show an experimental realization of inverse funneling in a locally strained HfS2 photodetector225. Panel a reprinted with permission from207 Nano Lett. 2013, 13, 8, 3626–3630.
