Intrinsic control of interlayer exciton generation rate in van der Waals materials via Janus layers
Engin Torun, Fulvio Paleari, Milorad V. Milosevic +2
We demonstrate the possibility of engineering the optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers when one of the constitutive layers has a Janus structure. Th…
Surface termination dependence of electronic and optical properties in TiCO MXene monolayers
Zafer Kandemir, Engin Torun, Fulvio Paleari +2
Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes are a rapid growing family of 2D materials with rich physical and chemical properties where their surface termination plays an essential role. Among the…
Inter- and intra-layer excitons in MoS/WS and MoSe/WSe heterobilayers
