Gate-tunable spin-dependent properties could be induced in graphene at room temperature through magnetic proximity effect by placing it in contact with a metallic ferromagnet. Because strong chemical bonding with the metallic substrate…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have shown great promise in (opto)electronic applications. However, their developments are limited by a large Schottky barrier (SB) at the metal-semiconductor junction (MSJ), which is difficult to tune by…
Despite the enormous progress achieved during the past decade, nanoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors still suffer from a limited electrical stability. This limited stability has been shown to result from the…
