Editorial Writing in Nanoscale scientists from the universities in Singapore and China review the two-dimensional material molybdenum disulfide. The material has been extensively studied in the past five years since, unlike graphene, has a sizeable bandgap which make it attractive for applications in electronics. Through their exhaustive 40-page article, the authors provide Read more…
Editorial Writing in Applied Materials & Interfaces scientists from the Sejong University, Seoul report their technique in reducing contact resistance in tungsten disulfide (WS2) field-effect transistors with standard Cr/Au contacts. Although there are several techniques to do this (e.g. using scandium, or phase-engineering) this technique is noted for being particularly straightforward. Read more…
Writing in RSC Advances, a team from Hangzhou Dianzi University led by Weitao Su demonstrates a fast and easy way in order to improve the photoluminescence yield of monolayer molybdenum disulfide. The methodology begins with the typical micro mechanical exfoliation of atomically thin layers of MoS2, which are subsequently deposited on Read more…
