Magneli phases of titanium dioxide (such as Ti4O7, Ti5O9, etc.) provide electronic properties, namely a stable metallic behavior at room temperature. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that nanoscopic Magneli phases, formed intrinsically in…

We used density functional theory to investigate the lateral heteromonolayers of WTe2 and MoTe2. We confirmed that topologically nontrivial and trivial phases are energetically favored for the WTe2 and MoTe2 monolayers, taken out of bulk…

Two-dimensional materials can stabilize crystal structures that are absent from their bulk counterparts, offering opportunities for materials design. Here, we report the synthesis of a previously unknown hexagonal Fe$_2$S$_2$ single layer…

Self-assembled molecular monolayer doping remains as a research focus for its nature of being conformal, nondestructive, and self-limiting. Herein, we demonstrate a sulfur monolayer doping in GaAs, facilitated by (NH4)2Sx solution. The Van…

In the search for evidence of silicene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of silicon, it is important to obtain a complete picture for the evolution of Si structures on Ag(111), which is believed to be the most suitable substrate for…

We report ground-state calculations and Monte Carlo simulations for a lattice-gas model of the underpotential deposition of copper on Au(111) in sulfate-containing electrolytes. In a potential range of approximately 100$\sim$150 mV, this…

Van der Waals heterostructures of (TMDL=1/BNL=1-4/TMDL=1/BNL=1-4), [TMD = MoS2, WS2, and ReS2] are grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by pulsed laser deposition under slow kinetic condition. The heterostructure systems show strong emission…

Quantum bits (qubits) with long coherence times are an important element for the implementation of medium- and large-scale quantum computers. In the case of superconducting planar qubits, understanding and improving qubits' quality can be…

The in-plane anisotropic properties of two-dimensional (2D) group IV monochalcogenides provide an additional degree of freedom which can be used in future optoelectronic devices. Here, it is shown that the third harmonic generation (THG)…

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at 5 K was used to study individual Au atoms adsorbed on the surface of a WSe2 layer grown on epitaxial graphene. In line with theoretical predictions, scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements reveal…

Carbon nitrides have recently come into focus for photo- and thermal catalysis, both as support materials for metal nanoparticles as well as photocatalysts themselves. While many approaches for the synthesis of three-dimensional carbon…

Employing density functional theory-based methods, we investigate monolayer and bilayer structures of hexagonal SnS$_{2}$, which is recently synthesized monolayer metal dichalcogenide. Comparison of 1H and 1T phases of monolayer SnS$_{2}$…

Two-dimensional (2D) heterojunctions display a remarkable potential for application in high performance, low power electro-optical systems. p-n junctions based on vertically stacked heterostructures have shown very promising performance as…
