Van der Waals metal-semiconductor junction: weak Fermi level pinning enables effective tuning of Schottky barrier
Yuanyue Liu, Paul Stradins, Su-Huai Wei
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have shown great promise in (opto)electronic applications. However, their developments are limited by a large Schottky barrier (SB) at the metal…
Air passivation of chalcogen vacancies in two-dimensional semiconductors
Yuanyue Liu, Pauls Stradins, Su-Huai Wei
Defects play important roles in semiconductors (SCs). Unlike those in bulk SCs, defects in two-dimensional (2D) SCs are exposed to the surrounding environment, which can potentiall…
Assessing carbon-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries: A universal description of charge-transfer binding
Yuanyue Liu, Y. Morris Wang, Boris I. Yakobson +1
Many key performance characteristics of carbon-based lithium-ion battery anodes are largely determined by the strength of binding between lithium (Li) and sp2 carbon (C), which can…
Probing the Synthesis of Two-Dimensional Boron by First-Principles Computations
Yuanyue Liu, Evgeni S. Penev, Boris I. Yakobson
