Two dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for optical modulation, detection, and light emission since their material properties can be tuned on-demand via electrostatic doping. The…
We study molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) structures generated by folding single- and bilayer MoS2 flakes. We find that this modified layer stacking leads to a decrease in the interlayer coupling and an enhancement of the photoluminescence…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) like MoSe$_2$ exhibit remarkable optical properties such as intense photoluminescence (PL) in the monolayer form. To date, narrow-linewidth PL is only achieved in micrometer-sized exfoliated TMD flakes…
The present paper deals with the systematic growth of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on molybdenum disulphide (MoS$_2$) nanosheets as well as the effect of Au NPs on the optical and magnetic properties. The crystalline nature of the…
Second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy has been applied to probe the fused silica/water interface at pH 7 and the uncharged 11bar02 sapphire/water interface at pH 5.2 in contact with aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaBr, NaI, KCl, RbCl,…
Direct growth of wafer scale high quality 2D layered materials (2DLMs) on SiO$_2$/Si substrate is still a challenge. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique has played a significant role in achieving a large area continuous film of…
Molybdenum disulfide, MoS2, has recently gained considerable attention as a layered material where neighboring layers are only weakly interacting and can easily slide against each other. Therefore, mechanical exfoliation allows the…
Magnetite thin fims have been grown epitaxially on ZnO and MgO substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. The film quality was found to be strongly dependent on the oxygen partial pressure during growth. Structural, electronic, and magnetic…

The plasmon-mediated manipulation of light-matter interaction in two-dimensional atomically transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) critically depends on the design of plasmonic nanostructures to achieve the maximum optical field in TMDs.…
Lattice defects and interfacial absorbates represent two extrinsic but ubiquitous factors that exert profound impacts on the luminescent properties of semiconductors. However, their impacts are normally tangled and remain to be separately…
Photostriction is predicted for SnS and SnSe monolayers, two-dimensional ferroelectrics with rectangular unit cells (the lattice vector $\mathbf{a}_1$ is larger than $\mathbf{a}_2$) and an intrinsic dipole moment parallel to $\mathbf{a}_1$.…
Hexagonal boron nitride has already been proven to serve as a decent substrate for high quality epitaxial growth of several 2D materials, such as graphene, MoSe$_{\tiny{\textrm{2}}}$, MoS$_{\tiny{\textrm{2}}}$ or WSe$_{\tiny{\textrm{2}}}$.…
