Twisted heterostructures of two-dimensional crystals offer almost unlimited scope for the design of novel metamaterials. Here we demonstrate a room-temperature ferroelectric semiconductor that is assembled using mono- or few- layer MoS2.…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), have been shown to exhibit excellent electrical and optical properties. The semiconducting nature of MoS2 allows it to overcome the shortcomings of zero-bandgap graphene,…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted tremendous interests as natural passivation and atomically thin channels that could facilitate continued transistor scaling. However, air-stable 2D semiconductors with high performance were…
The development of two-dimensional (2D) room temperature magnets is of great significance to the practical application of spintronic devices. However, the number of synthesized intrinsic 2D magnets is limited and the performances of them…
Phonons are essential for understanding the thermal properties in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, which limit their thermal performance for potential applications. We investigate the lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties…
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) support robust excitons in the visible to near-infrared spectral range. Their reduced dielectric screening results in large binding energies, and combined with a direct bandgap in monolayer…
Room-temperature Fermi-Dirac electron thermal excitation in conventional three-dimensional (3D) or two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors generates hot electrons with a relatively long thermal tail in energy distribution. These hot electrons…
Heat management is crucial in the design of nanoscale devices as the operating temperature determines their efficiency and lifetime. Past experimental and theoretical works exploring nanoscale heat transport in semiconductors addressed…
Single layers of WS2 are direct gap semiconductors with high photoluminescence (PL) yield holding great promise for emerging applications in optoelectronics. The spatial confinement in a 2D monolayer together with the weak dielectric…
The thermoelectric properties of MoS2 armchair nanoribbons with different width are studied by using first-principles calculations and Boltzmann transport theory, where the relaxation time is predicted from deformation potential theory. Due…
We measure the energy relaxation rate of single- and few-layer molybdenum disulphide ($\mathrm{MoS_2}$) nanomechanical resonators by detecting the resonator ring-down. Recent experiments on these devices show a remarkably low quality…
Electric and thermoelectric properties of strictly monolayer MoS$_2$ films, which are grown using a novel micro-cavity based CVD growth technique, have been studied under diverse environmental and annealing conditions. Resistance of a…
Thermal voltage noise measurements are performed in order to determine the electron temperature in nanopatterned channels of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure at bath temperatures of 4.2 and 1.4 K. Two narrow two-dimensional (2D) heating…
Heat transport in two-dimensions is fundamentally different from that in three dimensions. As a consequence, the thermal properties of 2D materials are of great interest, both from scientific and application point of view. However, few…
The combination of high-quality Al2O3 dielectric and thiol chemistry passivation can effectively reduce the density of interface traps and Coulomb impurities of WS2, leading to a significant improvement of the mobility and a transition of…
We report electrical conductance and thermopower measurements on InAs nanowires synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. Gate modulation of the thermopower of individual InAs nanowires with diameter around 20nm is obtained over T=40 to…
When thinned down to the atomic scale, many layered van der Waals materials exhibit an interesting evolution of their electronic properties, whose main aspects can be accounted for by changes in the single-particle band structure. Phenomena…
We report a record low thermal conductivity in polycrystalline MoS2 obtained by varying grain sizes and orientations in ultrathin films. By optimizing the sulphurisation parameters of nanometre-thick Mo layer, we could grow MoS2 films with…
Rhenium disulfide (ReS2) is a unique TMDC with a strong in-plane anisotropy and weak interlayer coupling. The pronounced anisotropy in the thermal conductivity observed in bulk ReS2 flakes (exceeding 60 nm) makes them valuable for…
Layered two-dimensional (2-D) semiconductors can be combined with other low-dimensional semiconductors to form non-planar mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions whose charge transport behavior is influenced by the…
