With advances in exfoliation and synthetic techniques, atomically thin films of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides have recently been isolated and characterized. Their two-dimensional structure, coupled with a direct band gap in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, suggests suitability for digital electronics and optoelectronics. Toward that end, several classes of high-performance devices have been reported along with significant progress in understanding their physical properties. Here, we present a review of the architecture, operating principles, and physics of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors. By critically assessing and comparing the performance of these devices with competing technologies, the merits and shortcomings of this emerging class of electronic materials are identified, thereby providing a roadmap for future development.read more

Bandgap engineering of different stacking WS2 bilayer under an external electric field
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of external electric field on the bandgap of different stacking WS2 bilayers was systematically examined, and it was shown that for all cases, the most stable stacking order is the AB conformation, followed by the AA′ stacking fault, which is by only 2.06meV/supercell less stable than AB.
