New possibilities for future developments in electronic and optical devices have been unlocked by recent advancements in two-dimensional (2D) materials, according to Penn State researchers.

Quantum coherence selective 2D Raman–2D electronic spectroscopy. Nat. Commun. 8, 14732 doi: 10.1038/ncomms14732 (2017).

To investigate the electronic properties of a 2D FET based on single-crystalline aluminum oxide (c-Al2O3), researchers created a self-aligned MoS2 FET using a 2 nm thick layer of c-Al2O3.

Highly desired in the petrochemical industry, but generally unwanted in electronics manufacture, defects in MoS2 influence the properties and utility of this material. Analysis of atomically thin ...

Interlayer coupling provides an opportunity to observe new physics and a novel strategy for modulating the electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ...

The presence of the 2D material between the metal and silicon — despite the MoS2 being less than one nanometer thick — can change how current electrical charge flows. “The 2D material mainly affects ...

Other 2D materials, such as semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and insulating hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), have recently received interest. When reduced to near-monolayer ...

Using their new method, researchers developed 2D sheets of bismuth, gallium, indium, tin, and lead that were hundreds of thousands of times thinner than a human hair, according to the latest study.

Scientists in China have developed the world’s most complex two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor microprocessor, which is less than one nanometre thick. Scientists across the world are turning to ...
