Two-dimensional crystals stack together through weak van der Waals (vdW) forces, offering unlimited possibilities to play with layer number, order and twist angle in vdW heterostructures (HSs). The realisation of high-performance…
Wrinkles and nanobubbles are an integral and often unavoidable part of integrating 2D van der Waals semiconductors into actual device architectures. Despite their ubiquitous nature, quantitative correlation between such spatially…
Integrating two-dimensional semiconductors such as MoS$_2$ with dielectric materials remains a central challenge for their use in future logic technologies. While seed layers are typically introduced to promote dielectric nucleation and…
The hunt for high temperature superfluidity has received new impetus from the discovery of atomically thin stable materials. Electron-hole superfluidity in coupled MoSe2-WSe2 monolayers is investigated using a mean-field multiband model…
Nanoscale control of charge doping in two-dimensional (2D) materials permits the realization of electronic analogs of optical phenomena, relativistic physics at low energies, and technologically promising nanoelectronics. Electrostatic…
We present density functional theory calculations of phosphorus dopants in bulk silicon and of several properties relating to their use as spin qubits for quantum computation. Rather than a mixed pseudopotential or a Heitler-London…
Finescale probes of many complex electronic materials have revealed a non-uniform nanoworld of sign-varying textures in strain, charge and magnetization, forming meandering ribbons, stripe segments or droplets. We introduce and simulate a…
The effect of applying an external electric field on doping-induced spin-orbit splitting of the lowest conduction-band states in a bismuth-doped zinc oxide nanowire is studied by performing electronic structure calculations within the…

Gold-assisted mechanical exfoliation currently represents a promising method to separate ultra-large (cm-scale) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) monolayers (1L) with excellent electronic and optical properties from the parent van der…
Modifying the optoelectronic properties of nanostructured materials through introduction of dopant atoms has attracted intense interest. Nevertheless, the approaches employed are often trial and error, preventing rational design. We…
While n-type semiconductor behavior appears to be more common in as-prepared two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), substitutional doping with acceptor atoms is typically required to tune the conductivity to p-type…
The electronic band gap of a two-dimensional semiconductor within a device architecture is sensitive to variations in screening properties of adjacent materials in the device and to gate-controlled doping. Here, we employ micro-focused…

Substitutional doping effectively modulates carrier polarity of semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like MoS2. Although Fe doping typically induces n-type conductivity in monolayer MoS2, anomalous…
