“Our study provides critical insights into the energy band structure and charge transport mechanisms at the 2D/3D interface, especially when 2D materials are scaled down to monolayers,” he said. “Over ...

A team of Scientists almost a decade ago predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a ...

A recent review in npj 2D Materials and Applications highlights how 2D materials like MoS2 and graphene are enabling ...

By first comparing the formation energies for pentagonal and hexagonal phases of several 2D materials, we realized that some of them, such as PdTe 2 that we grew, show only slightly higher formation ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms ...

The scalable method for creating 2D copper boride developed by Professor Mark Hersam could lead to breakthroughs in energy ...

Material growth, contact formation ... However, a defect only becomes a trap if the Fermi level crosses the defect energy band. Encapsulating monolayer MoS 2 in hBN reduced the subthreshold swing and ...

Traditional semiconductors such as Si, GaAs, and HgCdTe seem unable to meet the development trend of electronic devices that feature ultra-small volume, lightweight, and low power consumption.

End-use industries like composites and coatings, energy storage devices, electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and others are expected to use more 2D materials in the future.

“Our study provides critical insights into the energy band structure and charge transport mechanisms at the 2D/3D interface, especially when 2D materials are scaled down to monolayers,” he says. “Over ...
