| contents | We present the electrostatic control of photoluminescence of monolayer MoS$_2$ at room temperature via integration of free-standing BaTiO$_3$ (BTO), a ferroelectric perovskite oxide, layers. We show that the use of BTO leads to highly tunable exciton emission of MoS$_2$ in a minimal range of gate voltages, effectively controlling the neutral excitons to charged excitons (trions) conversion. Due to BTO's ferroelectric polarization-induced doping we observe large peak emission shifts as well as a large and tunable A trion binding energy in the range of 40-100 meV. To further investigate the efficacy of electrostatic control, we compared our measurements with those carried out when the BTO is replaced by a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) dielectric layer of comparable thickness, confirming BTO's superior gating properties and thus lower power consumption. Additionally, we take advantage of the ferroelectric switching of BTO by fabricating devices where the BTO layer is decoupled from the gate electrode with a SiO$_2$ layer. Choosing to isolate the BTO allows us to induce large remanent behavior of MoS$_2$'s excitonic features, observing hysteretic behavior in the peak energy ratio between A exciton and its trion, as well as hysteretic behavior in the doping-related trion energy shift. This study illustrates the rich physics involved in combining free-standing complex oxide layers with two-dimensional materials. |
