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

That makes it an ideal candidate to combine with other 2D materials, like graphene. To test whether it was possible to integrate the two materials into a single heterostructure, Hersam’s lab grew both ...

The team, led by Andreas Tittl, Professor of Experimental Physics at LMU, have developed a method that permits the manufacture of extremely thin optical components that react strongly to even ...

A van der Waals heterostructure is one made of 2D materials that are stacked directly on top of each other like Lego-blocks or a sandwich. The van der Waals force, which is an attractive force ...

"The plausible answer was to make a one-dimensional, metal-semiconductor junction in a 2D heterostructure, thus introducing crystallographic as well as charge asymmetry at the junction." ...

Study: Rapid Layer-Number Identification of MoS2 Nanosheet in MoS2/MoO2 Conformal Heterostructures by Color: Implications for the Fabrication of 2D/3D Heterostructures. Image Credit: ...

University of Washington scientists have combined two different ultra thin semiconductors – each one layer of atoms thick – to make a 2D heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and ...

In a paper recently published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, researchers reviewed the recent developments in 2D van der Waals heterostructure (VDWH)-based chemical sensors, providing an ...

For physicists, building a heterostructure is surprisingly simple. By layering single sheets of graphene with other 2D crystals, they can create new designer materials that don’t occur naturally and ...
