Rational Design of Two-Dimensional Octuple-Atomic-Layer M2A2Z4 for Photocatalytic Water Splitting
Shikai Chang, Dingyanyan Zhou, Yujin Ji +3
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates as photocatalytic materials due to their large surface areas and tunable electronic properties. In this work, we…

A Metastable Pentagonal 2D Material Synthesized by Symmetry-Driven Epitaxy
Lina Liu, Yujin Ji, Marco Bianchi +9
Most two-dimensional (2D) materials experimentally studied so far have hexagons as their building blocks. Only a few exceptions, such as PdSe2, are lower in energy in pentagonal ph…

Enhancing Interconnect Reliability and Performance by Converting Tantalum to 2D Layered Tantalum Sulfide at Low Temperature
Chun-Li Lo, Massimo Catalano, Ava Khosravi +9
The interconnect half-pitch size will reach ~20 nm in the coming sub-5 nm technology node. Meanwhile, the TaN/Ta (barrier/liner) bilayer stack has to be > 4 nm to ensure acceptable…
