Synthesis and properties of free-standing monolayer amorphous carbon
Chee-Tat Toh, Hongji Zhang, Junhao Lin +12
Bulk amorphous materials have been studied extensively and are widely used, yet their atomic arrangement remains an open issue. Although they are generally believed to be Zacharias…
Deciphering the Intense Post-Gap Absorptions of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Jinhua Hong, Masanori Koshino, Ryosuke Senga +3
Rich valleytronics and diverse defect-induced or interlayer pre-bandgap excitonics have been extensively studied in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), a system with fascinat…
Tunable Doping of Rhenium and Vanadium into Transition Metal Dichalcogenides for Two-Dimensional Electronics
Shisheng Li, Jinhua Hong, Bo Gao +10
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with unique electrical properties are fascinating materials used for future electronics. However, the strong Fermi lev…
Proton and Li-Ion Permeation through Graphene with Eight-Atom-Ring Defects
Eoin Griffin, Lucas Mogg, Guang-Ping Hao +21
Defect-free graphene is impermeable to gases and liquids but highly permeable to thermal protons. Atomic-scale defects such as vacancies, grain boundaries and Stone-Wales defects a…
Probing exciton dispersions of freestanding monolayer WSe2 by momentum resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy
Jinhua Hong, Ryosuke Senga, Thomas Pichler +1
Momentum resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy was used to measure the dispersions of excitons in a free-standing monolayer of WSe2. Besides the parabolically dispersed valley…
Does the metallic 1T phase WS2 really exist?
Yung-Chang Lin, Hideaki Nakajima, Chung-Wei Tseng +5
The electronic and optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in distinctive phases, such as 1H, 1T, and 1T' phases, are of fundamental importance for variety o…
Wafer-Scale and Deterministic Patterned Growth of Monolayer MoS2 via Vapor-Liquid-Solid Method
Shisheng Li, Yung-Chang Lin, Xu-Ying Liu +12
Vapor transportation is the core process in growing transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). One inevitable problem is the spatial inhomogeneity…
