We describe a photogating effect in mono- and few-layer MoS2, which allows the control of the charge carrier density by almost two orders of magnitude without electrical contacts. Our Raman studies are consistent with physisorbed…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) usually exist in two or more structural phases with different physical properties, and can be repeatedly switched between these phases via different stimuli, making them potentially…
When the atomic layers in a non-centrosymmetric van der Waals structure slide against each other, the interfacial charge transfer results in a reversal of the structures spontaneous polarization. This phenomenon is known as sliding…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials viz. transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) and transition metal oxides (TMO) offer a platform that allows creation of heterostructures with a variety of properties. The optoelectronic industry has observed an…
Metal sulfides are emerging as an important class of materials for photocatalytic applications, because of their high photo responsive nature in the wide visible light range. CdS in this class of materials, have a direct band gap of 2.4 eV,…

Electron doping is an excellent tuning knob to explore different phases of matter in two-dimensional (2D) materials. For example, tuning the Fermi level at a van Hove singularity in twisted bilayer graphene can enhance electron-electron…
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (e.g., MoS2) exhibit exceptionally large optical nonlinearities for high-order nonlinear light generation (NLG), yet their inherent atomic thickness fundamentally limits light-matter interactions…
The interaction of highly-charged ions with monolayers of graphene and MoS2 is theoretically investigated based on nonequilibrium Green Functions (NEGF). In a recent paper [Niggas et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 086802 (2022)] dramatic…
