a Calculated total ionization coefficients of bulk WSe2 at room temperature (solid black curve) as a function of EI/eξλ, where EI is the ionization energy, ξ is the strength of the applied electric field, and λ is the mean free path. The contributions of the lucky-ballistic mode (red curves) and lucky-drift mode (blue curves) are also shown. b Ionization coefficients of the bulk WSe2 at various temperatures. c Measured transfer characteristics as a function of top-gate voltage for various temperatures. A magnification view of a blue dashed rectangle is inserted on the left to check the temperature-dependent change of the threshold top-gate voltage. This shows that the WSe2 I2FET is insensitive to temperature.
