A grand family of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures have been
discovered through the extensive experimental and theoretical efforts of chemists, material …

The discovery of 2D layered MoSi2N4 and WSi2N4 without knowing their 3D parents by
chemical vapor deposition in 2020 has stimulated extensive studies of 2D MA2Z4 system …

Metal contacts to two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are often plagued by the strong
Fermi level pinning (FLP) effect which reduces the tunability of the Schottky barrier height …

Recently synthesized MoSi2N4 is the first septuple-layer two-dimensional material, which
does not naturally occur as a layered crystal, and has been obtained with chemical vapour …

The adsorption behaviors of CO, NH 3, NO, and NO 2 on intrinsic and defective MoSi 2 N 4
