Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled scalable synthesis of uniform, high-quality monolayer and few-layer MoS2 films
TL;DR: This work presents a self-limiting approach that can grow high quality monolayer and few-layer MoS2 films over an area of centimeters with unprecedented uniformity and controllability and paves the way for the development of practical devices with 2DMoS2 and opens up new avenues for fundamental research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic properties of semiconductor nanowires.
TL;DR: This paper provides a review of the state-of-the-art electronic-structure calculations of semiconductor nanowires using empirical k.p, empirical tight-binding, semi-empirical pseudopotential, and with ab initio methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-Energy-Assisted Perfect Transfer of Centimeter-Scale Monolayer and Few-Layer MoS2 Films onto Arbitrary Substrates
Alper Gurarslan,Yifei Yu,Liqin Su,Yiling Yu,Francisco Suarez,Shanshan Yao,Yong Zhu,Mehmet C. Öztürk,Yong Zhang,Linyou Cao +9 more
TL;DR: A surface-energy-assisted process that can perfectly transfer centimeter-scale monolayer and few-layer MoS2 films from original growth substrates onto arbitrary substrates with no observable wrinkles, cracks, and polymer residues is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equally Efficient Interlayer Exciton Relaxation and Improved Absorption in Epitaxial and Nonepitaxial MoS2/WS2 Heterostructures
Yifei Yu,Shi Hu,Liqin Su,Lujun Huang,Yi Liu,Zhenghe Jin,Alexander A. Purezky,David B. Geohegan,Ki Wook Kim,Yong Zhang,Linyou Cao +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that 2D MoS2/WS2 heterostructures can enable equally efficient interlayer exciton relaxation regardless the epitaxy and orientation of the stacking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Growth of Highly Mismatched Type II ZnO/ZnSe Core/Shell Nanowire Arrays on Transparent Conducting Oxide Substrates for Solar Cell Applications
TL;DR: A number of nanometer-scale photovoltaic (PV) concepts based on semiconductor nanowires have been developed or proposed in recent years, with either inorganic/organic hybrid or all-inorganic approaches as discussed by the authors.
