Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are 2D semiconductors with tightly
bound excitons and correspondingly strong light–matter interactions. Owing to the weak van …

Potential applications in photonics and optoelectronics are based on our understanding of
the light–matter interaction on an atomic monolayer scale. Atomically thin 2D transition metal …

Phonon engineering at gigahertz frequencies forms the foundation of microwave acoustic
filters, acousto-optic modulators and quantum transducers,. Terahertz phonon engineering …

The variegated family of two-dimensional (2D) crystals has developed rapidly since the
isolation of its forerunner: Graphene. Their planeconfined nature is typically associated with …

We report a strain-induced direct-to-indirect band gap transition in mechanically deformed
WS 2 monolayers (MLs). The necessary amount of strain is attained by proton irradiation of …

Electronic correlation can strongly influence the electronic properties of two-dimensional
(2D) materials with open d or f orbitals. Herein, by taking single-layer (SL) H-Fe Br 2 as a …

A comprehensive understanding of the energy level alignment mechanisms between two-
dimensional (2D) semiconductors and electrodes is currently lacking, but it is a prerequisite …

The search for materials with flat electronic bands continues due to their potential to drive
strong correlation and symmetry breaking orders. Electronic moirés formed in van der Waals …

Emergent quantum phenomena in two-dimensional van der Waal (vdW) magnets are largely
governed by the interplay between exchange and Coulomb interactions. The ability to …

The optoelectronic and transport properties of two-dimensional transition metal
dichalcogenide semiconductors (2D TMDs) are highly susceptible to external perturbation …
