As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

As conventional transistors become smaller and thinner in the quest for higher performance,
a number of hurdles are encountered. The discovery of electronic-grade 2-D crystals has …

Despite stunning progress in single-atom catalysis (SAC), it remains a grand challenge to
yield a high loading of single atoms (SAs) anchored on substrates. Herein, we report a one …

Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for flexible high-
specific-power photovoltaics due to their ultrahigh optical absorption coefficients, desirable …

Electronic devices based on two-dimensional semiconductors suffer from limited electrical
stability because charge carriers originating from the semiconductors interact with defects in …

van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions composed of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials
are emerging as a solid-state materials family that exhibits novel physics phenomena that …

We demonstrate a graphene-based electro-absorption modulator achieving extraordinary
control of terahertz reflectance. By concentrating the electric field intensity in an active layer …

In order to increase the response speed of the InSe‐based photodetector with high
photoresponsivity, graphene is used as the transparent electrodes to modify the difference of …

Graphene is thought to be an ideal material for novel photodetectors due to its unique
properties.[1–3] For example, its zero bandgap affords the benefit of ultra-broadband …

In this work, the structural, electronic and optical properties of novel atomically thin systems
based on germanene and antimonene nanocomposites have been investigated by means …
