Superconducting diodes are proposed non-reciprocal circuit elements that should exhibit non-dissipative transport in one direction while being resistive in the opposite direction. Multiple examples of such devices have emerged in the past…
Excitons in optoelectronic devices have been generated through optical excitation, external carrier injection, or employing pre-existing charges. Here, we reveal a new way to electrically generate excitons in transition metal…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet, one of two dimensional (2D) semiconductors, has recently been regarded as a promising material to break through the limit of present semiconductors including graphene. However, its potential in carrier…
