Global energy and environmental crises are among the most pressing challenges facing
humankind. To overcome these challenges, recent years have seen an upsurge of interest …

The outstanding chemical and physical properties of 2D materials, together with their
atomically thin nature, make them ideal candidates for metaphotonic device integration and …

Platinum disulfide (PtS2), a new member of the group-10 transition-metal dichalcogenides,
is studied experimentally and theoretically. The indirect bandgap of PtS2 can be drastically …

Electron valley, a degree of freedom that is analogous to spin, can lead to novel topological
phases in bilayer graphene. A tunable bandgap can be induced in bilayer graphene by an …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown extraordinary performances as photocatalysts
compared to their bulk counterparts. Simulations have made a great contribution to the deep …

We review the electronic properties of bilayer graphene, beginning with a description of the
tight-binding model of bilayer graphene and the derivation of the effective Hamiltonian …

The electronic properties of ultrathin crystals of molybdenum disulfide consisting of N= 1,
2,…, 6<? format?> S-Mo-S monolayers have been investigated by optical spectroscopy …

This review examines the properties of graphene from an experimental perspective. The
intent is to review the most important experimental results at a level of detail appropriate for …

We theoretically study the optical absorption property of twisted bilayer graphenes with
various stacking geometries and demonstrate that the spectroscopic characteristics serve as …

In this paper we present a paradigmatic tight-binding model for single-layer as well as
multilayered semiconducting MoS 2 and similar transition metal dichalcogenides. We show …
