Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are only a few atoms thick two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials composed of a transition metal like niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, and a chalcogen like tellurium, ...

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) coatings have garnered significant attention owing to their unique tribological properties, particularly their low friction and high wear resistance. Benefitting from a ...

Phase transitions can be used to alter the properties of a material without adding any additional atoms and are therefore of significant technological value. In a solid, phase transitions involve ...

Fig. 1 THz wave generation from MoS2 through quantum interference. (a) Schematic diagram of THz wave generation from MoS2 under two-color light excitation at normal incidence. (b) THz waveforms ...

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as MoS 2, enable the unprecedented possibilities to solve the bottleneck of transistor scaling and to build novel logic circuits with faster speed, lower ...

Theorists show why salt gives a significant speed boost to valuable 2D molybdenum disulfide, an effect they say may work for other 2D materials as well. Skipping ahead in a line is rude, but sometimes ...
