TL;DR: The Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB) as discussed by the authors is a large-scale database of 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures, including tens of thousands of materials.

TL;DR: It is shown that the self-intercalation of native atoms 11, 12 into bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides during growth generates a class of ultrathin, covalently bonded materials, which is named ic-2D, which can be grown under metal-rich conditions.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates infrared photodetection enabled by interlayer excitons generated between tungsten and hafnium disulfide, WS 2 /HfS 2 and postulates that the sizeable charge delocalization and ILE accumulation at the interface result in a greatly enhanced oscillator strength of the ILEs and a high responsivity of thePhotodetector.

TL;DR: This work expands the class of known Janus monolayers and points to several potentially synthesisable structures, which could be interesting candidates for valley- or opto-electronic applications, or for generating out-of-plane electric fields to control charge transfer, charge separation, or band alignments in van der Waals heterostructures.
