Direct X-Ray Measurements of Strain in Monolayer MoS from Capping Layers and Geometrical Features
Kathryn Neilson, Marc Jaikissoon, Dante Zakhidov +4
Strain induced through fabrication, both by patterning and capping, can be used to change the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials or other thin films. Here, we explore how…

Surface conduction and reduced electrical resistivity in ultrathin noncrystalline NbP semimetal
Asir Intisar Khan, Akash Ramdas, Emily Lindgren +9
The electrical resistivity of conventional metals, such as copper, is known to increase in thin films due to electron-surface scattering, limiting the performance of metals in nano…

Toward Mass-Production of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Solar Cells: Scalable Growth of Photovoltaic-Grade Multilayer WSe2 by Tungsten Selenization
Kathryn M. Neilson, Sarallah Hamtaei, Koosha Nassiri Nazif +11
Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for high-specific-power photovoltaics due to desirable band gaps, high absorption coefficients, and ideally dan…
