Asymmetrical contact scaling and measurements in MoS2 FETs

Zhihui Cheng, Jonathan Backman, Huairuo Zhang +8

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have great potential for use in future electronics due to their atomically thin nature which withstands short channel effects and thus enables better…

Immunity to Scaling in MoS2 Transistors Using Edge Contacts

Zhihui Cheng, Katherine Price, Shreya Singh +5

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for sub-10 nm transistor channels due to their ultrathin body thickness, which results in strong electrostat…

Room-Temperature Electron-Hole Liquid in Monolayer MoS2

Yiling Yu, Alexander Bataller, Robert Younts +6

Excitons in semiconductors are usually non interacting and behave like an ideal gas, but may condense to a strongly correlated liquid like state, i.e. electron hole liquid (EHL), a…
