Photoresponsivity enhancement in monolayer MoS by rapid O:Ar plasma treatment

Jakub Jadwiszczak, Gen Li, Conor P. Cullen +5

We report up to ten-fold enhancement of the photoresponsivity of monolayer MoS by treatment with O:Ar (1:3) plasma. We characterize the surface of plasma-exposed MoS by…

Antiresonance-Like Behavior in Carrier-Envelope-Phase-Sensitive Optical-Field Photoemission from Plasmonic Nanoantennas

P. D. Keathley, W. P. Putnam, P. Vasireddy +4

Given the quasi-static nature of optical-field emission and the nontrivial dependence of the emission rate on the instantaneous electric field strength, the CEP-sensitive component…

Antiferromagnetic Single-layer Spin-Orbit Torque Oscillators

Roberto E. Troncoso, Karsten Rode, Plamen Stamenov +2

We show how a charge current through a single antiferromagnetic layer can excite and control self-oscillations. Sustained oscillations with tunable amplitudes and frequencies are p…

Electron trapping by neutral pristine ferroelectric domain walls in BiFeO

Sabine Körbel, Jirka Hlinka, Stefano Sanvito

First-principles calculations for pristine neutral ferroelectric domain walls in BiFeO reveal that excess electrons are selectively trapped by the domain walls, while holes are…

Highly sensitive electromechanical piezoresistive pressure sensors based on large-area layered PtSe films

Stefan Wagner, Chanyoung Yim, Niall McEvoy +8

Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials are ideal for micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) due to their ultimate thinness. Platinum diselenide (PtSe), an excit…

Spectroscopic size and thickness metrics for liquid-exfoliated h-BN

Aideen Griffin, Andrew Harvey, Brian Cunningham +8

For many 2D materials, optical and Raman spectra are richly structured, and convey information on a range of parameters including nanosheet size and defect content. By contrast, th…
