摘要：

The effect of thermal treatment and annealing under different temperatures from 100 degrees C to 250 degrees C on the photoluminescence spectroscopy of the GeSe ultrathin slab is reported. After the thermal treatment and annealing under 200 degrees C, we found that the photoluminescence intensity of A exciton and B exciton in GeSe ultrathin slab is increased to twice as much as that in untreated case, while is increased by similar to 84% in the photoluminescence intensity of C exciton. Combined by our experimental work and theoretical simulations, our study confirms the significant role of thermal treatments and annealing in reducing surface roughness and removing the Se vacancy to form more compact and smoother regions in GeSe ultrathin slab. Our findings imply that the improved quality of GeSe surface after thermal treatments is an important factor for the photoluminescence enhancement.
