Defects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) broadly affect their optical and electronic properties. Directly capturing the ultrafast processes of exciton trapping and defect-bound exciton formation is crucial for…
Non-volatile resistive switching, also known as memristor effect in two terminal devices, has emerged as one of the most important components in the ongoing development of high-density information storage, brain-inspired computing, and…
Large chemical tunability and strong light-matter interactions make colloidal transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanostructures particularly suitable for light-emitting applications. However, ultrafast exciton decay and quenched…
The weakly screened electron-hole interactions in an atomically thin semiconductor not only downshift its excitation spectrum from a quasiparticle one, but also redistribute excitation energies and wavefunction characters with profound…
